The artificial intelligence ecosystem is boiling! OpenAI , the company behind ChatGPT , is going through a period of turmoil. According to leaked information, Sam Altman, its CEO, has raised the alarm in the face of the rapid progress of Google and its Gemini model. This situation could lead to a major strategic reorientation, with implications for ongoing projects and OpenAI’s monetization ambitions.

🤖 Red Alert: ChatGPT Faces Competition from Google Gemini

According to The Information, Sam Altman shared an internal memo signaling a “red alert” within OpenAI. The cause? The launch of Gemini 3 Pro, a language model developed by Google, which would surpass GPT-5.1 (hypothetical successor to GPT-4) according to several tests and evaluations. This news had the effect of a cold shower at OpenAI, calling into question its dominant position in the generative AI market.

📉 Lowered Ambitions?

Initially, OpenAI planned to deploy new features and introduce advertising on ChatGPT before the end of 2025, in order to improve its profitability. However, in the face of the threat posed by Google Gemini , these plans could be postponed. The absolute priority is now to prove that OpenAI can compete with Google and maintain its technological lead.

🔄 The Biter Bit: Google Takes the Lead

The current situation is ironic: Google, which had initially been shaken by the meteoric rise of ChatGPT, is now taking its revenge. With Gemini, Google seems ready to dethrone ChatGPT from its leading position. Sam Altman reportedly told his employees that OpenAI was at a “critical moment.” The company is not reaching its goals in terms of users, stagnating at 800 million weekly users, far from the billion expected.

🎯 OpenAI’s New Priorities

To cope with this situation, OpenAI has redefined its priorities:

• Model Improvement: Optimizing ChatGPT’s performance in terms of speed, reliability, and relevance of responses.
• Increased Personalization: Offer a more personalized user experience, adapting ChatGPT to the needs and preferences of each individual.
• New Image Generation Model: Develop cutting-edge technology for creating images, capable of surpassing existing solutions.

🚧 Suspended Projects: Monetization Set Aside

To focus on these priorities, OpenAI has decided to temporarily suspend other ongoing projects, including:

• The introduction of advertising on ChatGPT.
• The development of “AI agents” for shopping and task automation.
• The launch of Pulse morning news.

This decision means that OpenAI could record lower revenues than expected in 2025. However, the company seems ready to sacrifice its short-term financial goals to regain its leading position in the AI market.

📊 Comparison of Forces

Here is a comparative table of the main players in the generative AI market:

🔮 A New Language Model Approaching?

According to some sources, OpenAI could launch a new “advanced” language model as early as next week. This launch, which was not originally planned, demonstrates OpenAI’s willingness to react quickly to the threat posed by Google Gemini. Time will tell whether this strategy will bear fruit and whether OpenAI will manage to maintain its leading position in the field of artificial intelligence.
