OpenAI has been recognized as a Rising Star in the 2025 Gartner Guide to Generative AI Model Providers. This honor marks significant progress made by OpenAI in helping over 1 million enterprises deploy artificial intelligence safely and at scale.

The success of OpenAI is closely related to the needs of its enterprise customers, including well-known companies such as Amgen, Cisco, Morgan Stanley, T-Mobile, Target, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. They generally state that artificial intelligence is gradually becoming a core component of enterprise infrastructure. Enterprises are no longer just experimenting but are starting to implement AI systems that can reshape the way work is done.

In the past year, OpenAI has rapidly grown into the fastest-growing commercial platform in history, now serving over 1 million companies across various industries. The growth in enterprise users is mainly because many people want to use the tools they love in their work — ChatGPT. Weekly active users have exceeded 800 million, making pilot projects more quickly implemented and accelerating return on investment. This is also why the number of users of ChatGPT Enterprise has increased by nine times in the past year.

OpenAI believes that the recognition as a Rising Star reflects the progress achieved by the company's team and customers together, but they also say that they are still in the early stages. The next wave of AI systems will be more collaborative, more powerful, and more deeply integrated with enterprise operations.

OpenAI will continue to be committed to helping every organization turn artificial intelligence from an idea into measurable impact. Giancarlo "GC" Lionetti, OpenAI's Chief Commercial Officer, said: "This recognition from Gartner is an encouraging step forward, and we are full of anticipation for the future."

Key Points:
🌟 OpenAI has been selected by Gartner as a Rising Star in generative AI for 2025, reflecting its major achievements in enterprise AI deployment.
🚀 OpenAI currently serves over 1 million enterprises, and the user count of ChatGPT has reached 800 million per week.
🔍 OpenAI will continue to focus on promoting collaboration and deep integration of AI, helping enterprises achieve measurable results.
