News Summary

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has declared a ‘code red’ as the company faces increasing competition from Google’s Gemini 3 AI model. The announcement, based on internal memos, indicates that OpenAI is prioritizing improvements to ChatGPT over other initiatives such as advertising, AI shopping assistants, and health agents. This strategic shift aims to address the competitive threat posed by Gemini 3, which has rapidly gained 200 million users and received praise for its performance. The move marks a significant role reversal from 2022, when Google’s initial response to ChatGPT was to declare its own ‘code red.’ Now, OpenAI is focusing on enhancing ChatGPT’s capabilities while working on a new AI model codenamed ‘Garlic.’
