"OpenAI's top boss, Sam Altman, has been quite busy of late responding to Google Gemini 3.0 with a "code red" of sorts. And while the latest ChatGPT 5.2 seems to be a worthy rival, questions linger as to whether OpenAI is about to lose its AI lead to the likes of Google and its parent company, Alphabet ( NASDAQ:GOOG). Arguably, the torch has already passed after Gemini 3.0 garnered spectacular feedback while powering impressive App Store downloads."
"While Google is an AI force to be reckoned with, I found it quite interesting that Altman expressed his view that it's Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL), a firm it's partnered up with to offer ChatGPT via Apple Intelligence, as opposed to Google, which could be the most significant AI rival, at least over the long term, for the GPT-maker."
"However, as we head into 2026, Apple is going to be launching what could be its biggest AI offering to date: Siri with a Gemini boost. Of course, in the longer term, it might be more about Apple's dominance in software and hardware that makes Apple a serious contender in the AI war."
OpenAI responded forcefully to Google's Gemini 3.0 surge, prompting product updates and the launch of ChatGPT 5.2 as a competitive response. Gemini 3.0 generated strong user feedback and App Store traction, raising concerns about shifting AI leadership. Sam Altman singled out Apple as a potential long-term rival, highlighting OpenAI's partnership to offer ChatGPT via Apple Intelligence. Apple plans a major 2026 release of Siri enhanced with Gemini and can leverage deep hardware and software integration. Apple aims to learn from other companies to deliver an AI experience that could outcompete many current offerings.
