OpenAI says 10 million people are using Codex and ChatGPT Work, signaling a rapid shift from prompt-based use to embedded, paid workflow automation across enterprise apps. The surge, aided by GPT-5.6, reshapes monetization and cloud dynamics after Microsoft’s exclusivity was loosened, intensifying competition with Anthropic and Salesforce as organizations pay for integrated agents rather than standalone tools.
