Accenture will equip tens of thousands of its professionals with ChatGPT Enterprise as part of a partnership with OpenAI. This collaboration aims to enhance enterprise operations across key functions like customer service and finance by integrating OpenAI's AI capabilities into Accenture's consulting practices.

OpenAI is set to launch GPT-5.1 models, including variants like Reasoning and Pro, with a general availability date of November 24th. Enterprise users can opt out of experimental releases, while individual users may access the models sooner. Testing under the name Polaris Alpha shows promising results, particularly in creative writing.

OpenAI introduces Frontier, a platform designed to help enterprises build, deploy, and manage AI agents effectively. It addresses the challenges of disconnected systems and governance, enabling agents to work collaboratively across various departments with the necessary context and permissions. Key companies like State Farm and Uber are among the first to adopt this approach.

OpenAI's recent launch of GPT-5 aims to penetrate the enterprise market, despite a rocky rollout that saw the reinstatement of the earlier GPT-4 model due to user feedback. Early adopters report significant improvements in performance and cost-effectiveness, with companies like Cursor and Vercel integrating GPT-5 into their products, suggesting a shift in loyalty from competitors like Anthropic. However, OpenAI faces substantial operational costs as it competes for enterprise customers in a rapidly evolving AI landscape.

OpenAI is developing a new "Prompts" feature for ChatGPT aimed at teams and organizations, allowing users to save and share prompt templates within a collaborative workspace. This functionality is intended to streamline workflows by enabling customizable prompts that can incorporate variables and built-in tools, enhancing team productivity. While the feature is still in development, it aligns with OpenAI's strategy to strengthen enterprise offerings and integrate ChatGPT into business processes.

OpenAI has altered its pricing structure for the enterprise version of ChatGPT, shifting from a fixed price to a credits system that allows users to purchase upgrades and additional features. This change aims to make the product more accessible for companies as competition in the AI sector intensifies, with reported discounts on subscriptions ranging from 10% to 20%.

A new model labeled "GPT-5 Mini Scout" briefly appeared in ChatGPT's model selector, sparking speculation about its connection to a new Company Knowledge feature for enterprise users. An update in OpenAI’s JavaScript library hinted at the model being named "GPT-5.1 Mini," suggesting significant advancements in image generation capabilities. The potential rollout for this model is anticipated in November, possibly in response to competitors like Google's Gemini 3.

Wrapper-based AI agents can introduce significant enterprise risks that organizations may overlook. While leveraging tools like OpenAI can enhance efficiency, it is crucial to evaluate the potential vulnerabilities and ethical implications associated with their use in business settings.
