OpenAI named Emerging Leader in Generative AI
Gartner recognizes OpenAI as an Emerging Leader in the 2025 Gartner Innovation Guide for Generative AI Model Providers. We believe this reflects our progress in supporting over 1 million companies deploy AI safely and at scale.
To us, this recognition reinforces something we hear constantly from our customers like Amgen, Cisco, Morgan Stanley, T-Mobile, Target, and Thermo Fisher Scientific: AI is becoming a core layer of enterprise infrastructure. Companies aren’t just experimenting—they’re deploying AI systems that reshape how work gets done. We’ve invested heavily in privacy controls, data governance and residency, monitoring, and evaluations so enterprises can deploy AI safely.
Over the past year, OpenAI has become the fastest-growing business platform in history, now serving more than 1 million companies across industries. Our enterprise momentum is fueled by people going to work asking to use one of their favorite tools—ChatGPT. Over 800 million weekly active ChatGPT users come in already trained, making pilots faster and ROI quicker. It’s why ChatGPT Enterprise seats have grown 9x year-over-year.
We think that our placement as an Emerging Leader reflects the progress our teams and customers have made together—but we’re still early. The next wave of AI systems will be more collaborative, more capable, and more deeply integrated into how companies operate.
Our focus remains the same: Help every organization turn AI from an idea into measurable impact.
“Is céim spreagúil é an t-aitheantas seo ó Gartner, agus táimid ar bís faoin gcéad rud eile a thiocfaidh.”
