IBM 与 OpenAI 达成合作，共同推动企业级 AI 应用
IBM on Thursday announced its partnership with OpenAI to bring the AI company’s models and tools to more enterprise customers, opening another avenue for OpenAI to connect with some of the world’s largest companies through IBM’s global consulting business as competition for corporate AI spending intensifies.
IBM 周四宣布与 OpenAI 达成合作伙伴关系，旨在将这家 AI 公司的模型和工具引入更多企业客户。随着企业在 AI 支出方面的竞争日益激烈，此举为 OpenAI 通过 IBM 的全球咨询业务与全球一些大型企业建立联系开辟了新途径。
The deal, terms of which were not disclosed, comes less than a year after IBM announced a similar alliance with Anthropic. OpenAI and IBM will jointly market AI offerings and develop industry-specific solutions for sectors including financial services, government, telecommunications, and retail, IBM said.
该协议的具体条款尚未披露。就在不到一年前，IBM 刚刚宣布与 Anthropic 建立了类似的联盟。IBM 表示，OpenAI 和 IBM 将共同推广 AI 产品，并为金融服务、政府、电信和零售等行业开发针对性的解决方案。
Under the agreement, IBM will establish a dedicated OpenAI practice within IBM Consulting and train and certify tens of thousands of consultants — primarily retraining existing employees — on OpenAI’s technologies over the next several months, Mike Healy, managing partner at IBM Consulting, told TechCrunch. The training will focus on OpenAI’s Codex, API, cybersecurity, and consultative solution credentials. IBM will also create a group of specialized “Forward Deployed Experts” trained through OpenAI’s Partner Network, Healy said.
IBM 咨询公司管理合伙人 Mike Healy 向 TechCrunch 表示，根据协议，IBM 将在咨询部门内设立专门的 OpenAI 业务组，并在未来几个月内培训并认证数万名顾问（主要是对现有员工进行再培训），使其掌握 OpenAI 的相关技术。培训重点将涵盖 OpenAI 的 Codex、API、网络安全以及咨询解决方案认证。Healy 还表示，IBM 将组建一支通过 OpenAI 合作伙伴网络培训的专业“前沿部署专家”（Forward Deployed Experts）团队。
IBM said that it would integrate OpenAI’s latest models, including GPT-5.6, Codex, and ChatGPT Work, into IBM Consulting Advantage, its AI platform for consultants, to help clients deploy AI across core business operations.
IBM 表示，将把 OpenAI 的最新模型（包括 GPT-5.6、Codex 和 ChatGPT Work）集成到其面向顾问的 AI 平台 IBM Consulting Advantage 中，以帮助客户在核心业务运营中部署 AI。
The partnership is the latest in OpenAI’s push to expand its enterprise business through consulting firms and technology partners, as competition among AI model developers increasingly shifts from building more capable models to winning corporate customers and large-scale deployments. The company has previously announced partnerships with IT services firms, including Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services, underscoring a strategy of working with large global systems integrators to bring its AI products to enterprise customers.
此次合作是 OpenAI 通过咨询公司和技术合作伙伴拓展企业业务的最新举措。随着 AI 模型开发商之间的竞争日益从构建更强大的模型转向争夺企业客户和大规模部署，OpenAI 此前已宣布与 Infosys 和塔塔咨询服务公司（Tata Consultancy Services）等 IT 服务公司建立合作，这凸显了其通过与全球大型系统集成商合作，将 AI 产品推向企业客户的战略。
For IBM, OpenAI’s agreement expands its range of frontier AI partnerships as the company pursues a model-agnostic strategy that combines its own Granite family of AI models with offerings from third-party developers. The company has increasingly positioned itself as an integrator of multiple AI models through its watsonx platform and global consulting business.
对于 IBM 而言，与 OpenAI 的协议扩大了其前沿 AI 合作伙伴的范围，因为该公司正在推行一种“模型无关”（model-agnostic）的战略，即将自家的 Granite 系列 AI 模型与第三方开发者的产品相结合。IBM 正日益通过其 watsonx 平台和全球咨询业务，将自身定位为多种 AI 模型的集成商。
The partnership also comes as IBM looks to accelerate growth in its AI business after lowering its 2026 revenue forecast last month following weaker-than-expected quarterly results. During its last earnings call, Chief Executive Arvind Krishna maintained that AI remains a long-term growth driver. He stated that AI adoption was complementing, rather than replacing, demand for IBM’s mainframe business.
此次合作正值 IBM 寻求加速其 AI 业务增长之际。此前，由于季度业绩不及预期，IBM 上个月下调了 2026 年的营收预测。在最近的财报电话会议上，首席执行官 Arvind Krishna 坚持认为 AI 仍然是长期的增长动力。他表示，AI 的采用是对 IBM 大型机业务需求的补充，而非替代。
In June, IBM and OpenAI partnered for the cybersecurity-focused OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program. The new deal expands that relationship by integrating OpenAI’s AI models with IBM Autonomous Security, the company’s multi-agent-powered cybersecurity service.
今年 6 月，IBM 和 OpenAI 曾就专注于网络安全的“OpenAI Daybreak 网络合作伙伴计划”展开合作。此次新协议通过将 OpenAI 的 AI 模型与 IBM 的多智能体驱动的网络安全服务“IBM Autonomous Security”集成，进一步深化了双方的合作关系。
