OpenAI Adds Codex-Only Seats to Enterprise Plans

OpenAI outlined its enterprise push with a new Codex seat type for ChatGPT Enterprise - flexible pricing, no fixed per-user cost, access to Codex without a full ChatGPT workspace seat. The numbers behind the move are telling: over 9 million paying business users on ChatGPT, 2 million weekly Codex builders, and 6x growth in enterprise Codex usage since January. Alongside the seat changes, OpenAI is tying together Frontier, Codex, and company-wide agents into a unified enterprise story. The unbundling of Codex from ChatGPT seats mirrors a pattern visible at Microsoft and Google too - coding agents are becoming standalone SKUs rather than features bundled inside chat products, which says something about where the revenue gravity is shifting.
