OpenAI Revamps ChatGPT as IPO Speculation Grows

​

Sunday, June 7, 2026 – OpenAI is reportedly preparing the most significant overhaul in ChatGPT’s history, aiming to transform the platform into a comprehensive "superapp" that integrates coding tools, AI agents, and third-party services, according to a report by the Financial Times.

The planned changes are part of a broader corporate reorganization designed to strengthen OpenAI’s position in the enterprise market, increase revenue streams, and intensify competition with AI rival Anthropic as the company explores a future public offering.

ChatGPT to Become a Multifunctional AI Platform

According to the report, OpenAI is set to give greater prominence to its coding platform Codex while introducing new AI-powered capabilities that encourage users to engage with coding, image generation, and integrated partner services.

The redesign is expected to roll out over the coming weeks through updates to ChatGPT’s website and mobile applications. The company is also reportedly revamping the user interface with new prompts and features aimed at increasing adoption of its advanced tools.

Enterprise Customers Driving Revenue Growth

The Financial Times reported that business customers are becoming increasingly important to OpenAI’s financial performance. The company currently serves around 2 million businesses, which account for approximately 40% of total revenue, with that figure expected to rise to 50% by the end of 2026.

Meanwhile, most users of Codex are paying subscribers, highlighting the growing commercial demand for AI-powered software development tools.

Expanding User Base and IPO Speculation

OpenAI previously disclosed that ChatGPT serves more than 900 million weekly active users and has surpassed 50 million consumer subscribers, making it one of the fastest-growing technology platforms globally.

The report comes after earlier media speculation that OpenAI was preparing confidential paperwork for a potential U.S. initial public offering (IPO). However, Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman has repeatedly stated that the company is not focused on a specific timeline and will pursue a public listing only when the timing is appropriate.
