Today we’re launching the OpenAI Deployment Company to help businesses build around intelligence. Successful AI deployment is about empowering people and teams to do more. The OpenAI Deployment Company will extend OpenAI’s ability to embed engineers specialized in frontier AI deployment directly inside businesses tackling complex problems in demanding environments.

It is majority-owned and controlled by OpenAI, giving customers a unified experience whether they work directly with OpenAI, the deployment team, or both.
