Agent platforms deploy AI workers.

AI infrastructure transforms your company.

OpenAI Frontier helps enterprises build and manage AI agents. Rebase gives you the foundational infrastructure to become an AI company deployed in your cloud, model-agnostic, and without a mandatory consulting engagement.

The question isn't which agent platform. It's whether you need an agent platform or AI infrastructure.

What Frontier Does

OpenAI Frontier is an agent management platform. It helps enterprises build "AI coworkers" agents that can resolve customer issues, file updates, run code, and use tools. Frontier connects to your CRM, data warehouses, and ticketing tools to give agents shared context. It provides agent identities, access management, and audit trails. It's a strong platform for deploying and managing AI agents at scale.

What Rebase Does

Rebase is Enterprise AI Infrastructure. We don't just deploy agents we build the foundational layer that transforms how your entire organization operates. Our Context Engine builds a live knowledge graph across all your systems. Our AI Gateway gives you model-agnostic access to any LLM. Our Memory system creates persistent, private institutional knowledge. Agents are one capability not the whole platform.

Why Enterprises Choose Rebase

Why Enterprises Choose Rebase

Data sovereignty isn't optional for regulated industries.

Frontier connects your systems to OpenAI's platform. For regulated industries — healthcare, financial services, utilities — that's a non-starter. Rebase deploys entirely in your environment. BYOC, on-premises, or air-gapped. Zero data retention.

True model freedom means no preferred provider.

OpenAI says Frontier works with third-party agents but 'prioritizes low-latency access to OpenAI models.' Rebase's AI Gateway is genuinely model-agnostic. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, open-source, local models — all first-class. BYOC.

A platform you deploy. Not a program you staff.

Deploy agents that reason across SAP, Siemens, and your manufacturing stack with human-in-the-loop review at every critical step.

Enterprise AI infrastructure built for the companies that need it most.

Frontier launched with HP, Oracle, Uber — hand-selected Fortune 500. The 200-10K employee companies that need AI transformation the most don't have unlimited budgets. Rebase was built for exactly these companies. Transparent pricing. Self-serve deployment.

Day 1, you deploy agents. Day 365, you've built an AI-native organization.

Frontier deploys AI coworkers. But what compounds? Rebase's Context Engine builds a live knowledge graph that gets richer with every system connected. Agent Memory creates persistent institutional intelligence. Infrastructure compounds. Agent platforms don't.

What the Frontier Alliance model tells you about enterprise AI deployment.

What the Frontier Alliance model tells you about enterprise AI deployment.

OpenAI announced 'Frontier Alliances' with four of the world's largest consulting firms. This partnership structure reveals an important truth: Frontier isn't a product you buy and deploy. It's a transformation program you buy, staff, and manage over months or years.

The services-heavy approach means enterprises must budget for platform fees, per-token API usage, Forward Deployed Engineer time, and Big 4 consulting engagements. This typically totals $1M-$5M+ for initial deployment.

Rebase operates on a different model transparent infrastructure pricing with self-serve deployment. For enterprises with limited consulting budgets and tight timelines, the services-heavy model creates a structural bottleneck. Rebase was designed for a different deployment philosophy: platform-first, self-serve, production-ready in weeks.

Frontier deployment model

Platform + tokens + FDEs + consulting partners.

Rebase deployment model

Platform deploys in your cloud. Your team runs it.

We're already talking to OpenAI about Frontier. Should we still consider Rebase?

OpenAI says Frontier is model-agnostic. How is Rebase different?

How does Rebase's deployment model compare to Frontier's cost structure?

Is Rebase enterprise-ready compared to an OpenAI-backed platform?
