It seems that competitors are breathing down OpenAI's back. Sam Altman has announced a "code red": the implementation of some projects is being postponed in order to focus more on improving the flagship product ChatGPT.
In a memo, Altman said the company would postpone initiatives such as advertising, shopping and healthcare agents, and the Pulse personal assistant to focus on improving ChatGPT, The Verge writes .
According to him, this concerns the main features of the chatbot, such as increased speed and reliability, better personalization, and the ability to answer a larger number of questions.
There will be a daily meeting for specialists working on ChatGPT. In addition, Altman called for temporary transfers of employees between teams to accelerate development.
Google also declared a “code red” after ChatGPT appeared. And judging by recent successful releases, it has paid off. Google’s AI product user base is growing — fueled by the success of popular tools like the Nano Banana image model — and its latest AI model, Gemini 3, has outperformed its competitors in many industry benchmarks and popular metrics.
OpenAI, in turn, is spending hundreds of billions of dollars to fund growth and find a path to future profitability.
