# How frontier firms are pulling ahead

# Claim

OpenAI’s B2B Signals research shows how frontier enterprises deepen AI adoption, scale Codex-powered agentic workflows, and build durable competitive advantage.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section one: model and benchmark capability evidence

# Oracle Verdict

OpenAI is describing a frontier or production capability that pushes directly on the thesis. The important signal is not the marketing language; it is the widening set of tasks now being routed through model-driven execution rather than ordinary software or headcount.
