OpenAI Tops 3 Million Paying Business Users, Expands Enterprise Features
OpenAI said Wednesday it now has more than 3 million paying business customers using its workplace offerings, up from 2 million in February. The figure includes ChatGPT Enterprise, Team, and Edu clients, according to the company. OpenAI's workplace-focused products have seen rapid adoption alongside rising usage of its consumer chatbot, with 400 million weekly active users reported earlier this year. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. The company also launched two new enterprise capabilities: connectors, which let users pull data from third-party platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint, Box, and OneDrive directly into ChatGPT; and record mode, which enables transcription of audio meetings and automatic document generation using its Canvas tool. OpenAI is projecting $12.7 billion in revenue this year, a person familiar with the company's financials told CNBC. That compares with prior expectations of $3.7 billion in revenue and a $5 billion annual loss disclosed by another source in September 2024. Brad Lightcap, OpenAI's chief operating officer, said regulated industries such as financial services and healthcare are among the most active adopters. Corporate users now include Lowe's (LOW, Financials), Morgan Stanley (MS, Financials), and Uber (UBER, Financials). Lightcap said OpenAI is signing up roughly nine new enterprise customers a week and expects that momentum to continue. He said companies are increasingly viewing tools like ChatGPT as core infrastructure for knowledge work. It's got to be able to do tasks for you, and to do that, it's got to really have knowledge of everything going on around you and your work, Lightcap told CNBC.

The Nintendo Switch 2's GameChat has a hidden screen sharing restriction
The Nintendo Switch 2's new GameChat feature has a hidden restriction that prevents players from screen sharing select games. During testing, Digital Trends discovered that the app will block broadcasting of specific games while the app is open. So far we've seen that in action with Lumines Remastered, though it's not clear what causes the restriction to trigger. GameChat is a new feature that's exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. It essentially puts Zoom inside of the console. With the press of a button, players can activate a video feed through a web camera and share their live gameplay footage with everyone in the party chat. While the shared gameplay video broadcasts at a choppy framerate, the feature largely does what it says — but there's a catch. Recommended Videos During a GameChat session, I opened up Lumines Remastered. Rather than showing the other users in chat my screen, a black screen popped up noting that gameplay sharing for that title was restricted. That restriction remained as long as the app was running. That means that if I popped out to the home menu, that footage would still be blocked until I closed the app. As of now, it's unclear what exactly triggers the restriction. My first guess was that it had something to do with licensed music, but another user was able to share their screen while playing Burnout Paradise, a game that features plenty of licensed tunes. I also had no trouble sharing Fitness Boxing 3, which features covers of popular songs like Bad Guy. Digital Trends has reached out to Nintendo for clarification on the restriction and will update this article when we receive an answer. The Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5. We are currently working on a full review of the system, but in the meantime, you can read our recent impressions of the system and Mario Kart World.
