OpenAI declares ChatGPT ‘code red’ over stiff competition: Report

Washington: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has declared a company-wide “code red” as its ChatGPT technology faces stiff competition from other big tech rivals, especially Google, US media reported.

In a memo to staff on Monday, Altman told employees that the company was “at a critical time for ChatGPT,” and that resources must be devoted to fending off the new competition to its chatbot, the reports said.

Altman said that other projects would now be delayed, including a plan to introduce advertising to the chatbot.
