"Altman on Monday called for a surge to improve ChatGPT while delaying progress on other efforts such as autonomous AI agents and advertising, the Information reported, citing an internal memo. While Altman didn't say exactly what fixes needed to be prioritized and why, the Information said he had recently warned employees that Google's AI resurgence could cause temporary economic headwinds for OpenAI."
"The report underscores how intense the rivalry among major AI developers has become as the entire industry works to convince Wall Street that the billions of dollars they've invested in the technology will turn a profit. Alphabet Inc.'s Google released the AI model Gemini 3 last month that gained almost immediate praise for its capacity to reason and code, as well as to perform niche tasks that have tripped up AI chatbots."
Sam Altman declared a code red and redirected internal resources to speed improvements to ChatGPT, delaying work on other initiatives such as autonomous AI agents and advertising. He warned employees that Google's AI resurgence could cause temporary economic headwinds for OpenAI. Alphabet's Google released Gemini 3, praised for reasoning, coding, and performing niche tasks that challenge chatbots. OpenAI unveiled an AI-powered web browser in October. Nick Turley said the focus is to make ChatGPT more capable, intuitive, and personal while expanding global access. Altman encouraged temporary team transfers, planned daily calls, and asked staff to improve customization, model behavior, and image-generation capabilities.
