OpenAI stated that ChatGPT Enterprise will focus on serving large enterprises, providing unrestricted access to GPT-4, extended context windows, advanced data analysis capabilities, and customization options.

The strongest ChatGPT version in history has arrived!
OpenAI stated that today marks another step towards becoming a work assistant for artificial intelligence assistants, which is also the most powerful version of ChatGPT to date.
According to OpenAI, over 80% of Fortune 500 companies have been using ChatGPT since its launch nine months ago, and in user feedback, they hope to deploy it in a simple and secure way within their organization.
It is understood that this product is built on OpenAI's most advanced language model GPT-4 and will run twice as fast as the paid version of ChatGPT. Enterprise users have the priority to access GPT-4 and the usage limit has been lifted, resulting in an execution speed twice that of regular GPT-4. In addition, the Enterprise version allows for more content input, and the context window expands to 32000 tokens and approximately 25000 words.
ChatGPT Enterprise also provides unrestricted access to advanced data analysis (code interpreter function), helping technical and non-technical teams conduct data analysis information within seconds.
In addition to the enhanced ChatGPT escort, this enterprise version also effectively addresses the two most pressing concerns of enterprises: data security and system deployment.
In terms of data security, OpenAI provides "static data encryption (AES-256) and in transit data encryption (TLS 1.2+)", and states that ChatGPT Enterprise has undergone compliance audits and certifications for SOC 2 Type 1. OpenAI also promises that customer prompts and all other data will not be used for model training, and users can control the retention time of the data. Any deleted conversations will be automatically deleted from ChatGPT's system within 30 days.
Through shareable dialogue templates, the Enterprise Edition also allows employees to use ChatGPT to build internal workflows. In addition, OpenAI's API platform allows enterprises to create fully customized solutions according to their own needs.
ChatGPT Enterprise Edition can be used immediately after its official release. So far, ChatGPT has three subscription options: free, Plus, and Enterprise. After the launch of the Enterprise Edition, a personal Plus worth $20 per month will continue to exist.
Brad Lightcap, Chief Operating Officer of OpenAI, stated that OpenAI will first launch the Enterprise version, followed by the Commercial version, "allowing for more personal contact with the team, understanding the deployment process, and then fully opening up
OpenAI pointed out in a blog article that "we will not use your business data or conversations for training, and our model will not learn based on your usage." The article added that the customer's conversation data will be encrypted during transmission and rest. However, Brad Lightcap stated that the company records summary data on tool usage, including performance metadata, which is a relatively standard practice.
According to OpenAI, early testing users of ChatGPT Enterprise Edition spanned various industries, including blockchain company Block, graphics design platform Canva, private equity company Carlyle, beauty company Est é e Lauder Group, management consulting company PwC, and automation tool company Zapier.
Currently, ChatGPT Enterprise has not announced pricing. Brad Lightcap also did not disclose specific details of its pricing and pointed out that prices may vary depending on the needs of each enterprise. OpenAI can collaborate with every enterprise to find the most suitable plan for them.
OpenAI Strives to Make Money
According to analysis company Similarweb, ChatGPT's global traffic decreased by 9.7% from May to June, and the average time spent on its network version application decreased by 8.5%. This decrease may be due to OpenAI's launch of ChatGPT mobile applications for iOS and Android, as well as a decrease in students' use of ChatGPT during summer vacation.
Currently, OpenAI is facing pressure to profit through ChatGPT. According to The Information, the company spent over $540 million last year to develop ChatGPT, including expenses for poaching people from companies such as Google. It is estimated that the daily operating cost of ChatGPT is $700000. OpenAI's revenue in the 2022 fiscal year was only $30 million. The CEO of the company, Sam Altman, told investors that he plans to increase this number to $200 million this year and $1 billion next year. He may increase ChatGPT.
