OpenAI Reports 10 Million Agent Users

OpenAI says its combined Codex and ChatGPT Work user base has reached about 10 million, roughly doubling from two weeks earlier as ChatGPT Work expands after its July 9 launch. The numbers underscore a shift from chat as a demo to a workflow layer, with agents that can execute multi-step tasks across apps and files, potentially driving paid adoption if a portion of users become repeat customers. However, the definition of “active” and the split between Codex and ChatGPT Work remain blurred because they share one redesigned ChatGPT app and usage pool, which complicates interpretation of the headcount. The market is watching not just user counts but monetization, including how quickly enterprises will buy seats and embed these agents into workflows, and how this translates into revenue growth. The push is also unfolding in a competitive context, with rivals like Anthropic gaining ground in the workflow-control space and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 enabling faster adoption of the agent-based model. The economic dynamic for Microsoft has shifted since April’s changes to the Azure exclusivity deal, meaning OpenAI growth no longer automatically funnels through Microsoft as a guaranteed revenue stream, though Microsoft remains a key cloud partner and prime platform for OpenAI offerings.

Nvidia is tightening controls on its AI chips reaching China through Southeast Asian intermediaries, including monitoring requirements for some cloud partners and reported limits on the share of computing capacity rented to Chinese customers. A new Democratic-led Congress is also expected to press the company over whether it is doing enough to prevent restricted chips from reaching China and other U.S. adversaries.
