What’s happening in AI right now

What to watch at OpenAI

OpenAI has launched three major initiatives that signal its determination to control its own destiny. The company's new autonomous agent Operator transforms ChatGPT into a digital assistant that can independently navigate websites and complete complex tasks. They've rolled out ChatGPT Gov for U.S. government agencies. And most ambitiously, they're pursuing Stargate - a $100 billion infrastructure project backed by an unexpected coalition of SoftBank, Oracle, and even received an announcement from President Trump.

Breaking free

Microsoft's notable absence from the Stargate project as an equity partner speaks volumes. While Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella publicly maintains the partnership's strength, his company seems more focused on its own $80 billion AI investments. OpenAI, despite reaching $300 million in monthly revenue, faces substantial computing costs - likely driving their push for independent infrastructure through Stargate.

Product expansion

The company isn't just building infrastructure. ChatGPT Gov brings enterprise-level features to government agencies through Microsoft Azure's commercial cloud. Meanwhile, Operator represents OpenAI's vision for AI agents that can autonomously complete complex digital tasks. They've also introduced o3-mini to ChatGPT's free tier while maintaining premium features for paid subscribers.

Strategy

These moves paint a picture of a company methodically building across multiple fronts:

• Infrastructure (Stargate)

• Enterprise/Government (ChatGPT Gov)

• AI Agents (Operator)

• Model Efficiency (o3-mini)

Each initiative reduces OpenAI's dependence on partners while expanding their market presence.

Looking forward

OpenAI's aggressive moves suggest they see a future where controlling their own infrastructure and operating in many vertices is the norm. The next few months will reveal whether this multi-vertical push pays off. Can they execute on Stargate's massive infrastructure ambitions? Will government agencies embrace ChatGPT Gov? And how effectively can they serve enterprise, government, and consumer markets simultaneously? The answers to these questions won't just shape OpenAI's future, but likely the entire AI industry's approach to vertical expansion.
