OpenAI API

OpenAI said ChatGPT, Codex, and the Responses API can reach private MCP servers over outbound-only HTTPS without inbound exposure. The same enterprise update adds workload identity federation plus admin controls for spend alerts, allowlists, retention, and hosted tools.

OpenAI said the API and ChatGPT were seeing elevated latencies before marking the incident resolved later in the day. User reports showed stalled GPT-5.5 sessions and retry loops, turning the issue into a production and coding-agent disruption.

OpenAI launched the OpenAI Deployment Company and tied it to Tomoro’s acquisition, giving the unit 150 forward-deployed engineers and $4 billion in initial backing from 19 partners. It matters because OpenAI is packaging services, deployment help, and organizational integration as part of the product stack instead of leaving enterprise rollout to outside consultancies.
