Sam Altman says industry is wrong on OpenAI’s competition, it is not from Google, but …
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has identified Apple as the company’s ultimate rival while declaring “code red” and redirecting resources from moonshot projects to salvage ChatGPT’s slipping dominance. Speaking at a lunch with journalists in New York Monday, Altman argued that future AI competition will be won through devices, not software alone, and today’s smartphones simply aren’t built for AI companions, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The comments reveal Altman’s strategic vision even as OpenAI scrambles to defend its turf. Last week, he issued an internal “code red” memo ordering employees to pause side projects—including the much-hyped Sora video generator—for eight weeks to focus exclusively on improving ChatGPT.
