IT 服务公司 Cognizant 周四表示，已组建 OpenAI 前沿能力小组，调动超过 25,000 名员工为客户部署 OpenAI 的 Codex 和 ChatGPT。
Cognizant formed an OpenAI Frontier Capability Group of more than 25,000 staff to deploy Codex and ChatGPT for clients. It will focus on software engineering, updating old systems and customer service.
该小组将从三个领域切入：利用 Codex 编写软件、将老旧大型机系统迁移至云端、在销售和客户服务中应用 AI 智能体。
The move comes 11 days after Cognizant put 18,000 staff behind Google’s Gemini. Cognizant has formed a group of more than 25,000 staff to roll out OpenAI’s Codex and ChatGPT for its clients, the IT services company said on Thursday.
Cognizant 称，阻碍企业发展的不是获取模型的途径，而是缺乏能在现有系统内用 AI 构建应用的人才。其超过 21,000 名员工已获得 40,000 多个 OpenAI 培训徽章。OpenAI 也作出同押注，于 5 月成立自己的部署部门，7 月收购了 Northslope。
The OpenAI Frontier Capability Group will start with three areas: writing software with Codex, moving old mainframe systems to the cloud, and using AI agents in sales and customer service. Cognizant says companies are held back by a lack of people who can build with AI inside their existing systems, not by access to the models. More than 21,000 of its staff have earned over 40,000 OpenAI training badges. OpenAI has made the same bet, launching its own deployment arm in May and buying Northslope in July.
Cognizant 首席执行官 Ravi Kumar S 表示：“我们将投入超过 25,000 名员工，把这种变革带入客户的业务内部。”
“We are committing more than 25,000 of our people to bring that change inside our clients’ businesses,” said Cognizant chief executive Ravi Kumar S.
公司称，曾为一家全球制药企业构建 AI 助手，已处理超过 500 万次对话，将内容创建时间缩短了 60%。
The company says it built an AI assistant for a global drugmaker that has handled more than 5 million conversations and cut the time to create content by 60%.
此次合作紧随 OpenAI 4 月招募 Cognizant 和 CGI 将 Codex 推向大型企业之后。但 Cognizant 并未押注单一模型厂商。仅 11 天前，它刚调动 18,000 名员工支持谷歌的竞品 AI Gemini。
The deal follows OpenAI’s move in April to recruit Cognizant and CGI to take Codex into big companies. But Cognizant is not betting on one model maker. Just 11 days ago, it put 18,000 staff behind Gemini, Google’s rival AI.
