# OpenAI

## Profile

[[entity-anthropic-d12|Anthropic]]'s primary frontier-race competitor.

## Products Referenced in This Source

- [[entity-chatgpt-5-4|ChatGPT 5.4]] — current frontier model used as benchmark.
- **'Spud'** — codename for the next OpenAI frontier model. Anthropic reportedly rushed [[entity-claude-opus-4-7-d12|Opus 4.7]] to preempt Spud's release.

## Open Question

Whether Spud will surpass 4.7 on agentic persistence and literal instruction following remains to be seen. See [[question-openai-spud-response]].

## External Validation

No public 'Spud' codename has leaked as of 2026. OpenAI's post-GPT-5 codenames remain private.
