ChatGPT Enterprise becomes available through AWS Marketplace

Enterprise access through existing AWS accounts

According to OpenAI, the AWS Marketplace listing is designed to simplify the path from evaluating ChatGPT Enterprise to deploying it across an organization. Customers can buy the product through their AWS account, manage it alongside other software spending and apply eligible spending toward their AWS commitments.

The arrangement uses an existing AWS purchasing and billing relationship rather than requiring a separate procurement route for ChatGPT Enterprise. OpenAI says organizations can contact their OpenAI or AWS account team to confirm eligibility and get started.

The same OpenAI models and features

AWS customers receive the same models, features and functionality available directly from OpenAI, with new features released at the same time, according to the company. OpenAI describes ChatGPT Enterprise as bringing the familiar ChatGPT experience to work with ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, Codex and dots.

OpenAI says more than 1.2 billion people use ChatGPT each week. The company positions ChatGPT Enterprise as a way for teams across a business to use those products in their daily work, while organizations manage their adoption and governance through AWS Marketplace.

How ChatGPT Enterprise fits with Amazon Bedrock

OpenAI distinguishes the enterprise ChatGPT product from its models available in Amazon Bedrock. Developers can use OpenAI models in Amazon Bedrock to build AI applications and agents, while teams across the business can use ChatGPT Enterprise for day-to-day work.

OpenAI says organizations can choose the approach that fits their workloads and governance requirements. That gives AWS customers two described routes for using OpenAI technology: application and agent development through Amazon Bedrock, or employee-facing use through ChatGPT Enterprise.

“Enterprises want to put AI to work across their teams without adding new layers of procurement,” Matt Yanchyshyn, Vice President, AWS Marketplace and Partner Services, AWS, said in the announcement. Chris Grusz, Managing Director, Cloud Partnerships, OpenAI, said the partnership is intended to simplify adoption for joint customers. Sophos CTO John Peterson said buying through a single channel and applying existing AWS commitments removes friction for the company.
