Are they rivals or teammates? A reassurance after the stock plunge.

However, Simo clearly stated that Frontier is actually a blessing for the software industry, as it is not intended to replace existing tools, but rather serves as a foundation allowing companies like Salesforce and Slack to more easily deploy their own AI plugins on top of it. Currently, well-known giants like Uber and Uber have already joined the testing group.

With OpenAI planning to go public in the fourth quarter of this year, the release of Frontier is undoubtedly a significant addition to its commercial strategy. On the path towards "fully automated offices," OpenAI
