In response to Google’s AI upgrades, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced an internal “code red” to accelerate improvements to ChatGPT. Key points:
- Short-term boost: New reasoning model Shallotpeat reportedly surpasses Gemini 3 on benchmarks.
- Long-term vision: Larger model upgrade Garlic (GPT-5.2/5.5-type) targeting 2026, aiming to fix pre-training limitations.
- Strategic focus: Delaying advertising and AI agent projects to prioritize user experience, personalization, and image generation.
The AI race is heating up — just as OpenAI once sparked Google’s emergency push in 2022, now the tables have turned. With rivals like Gemini 3, Opus 4.5, and open-source initiatives, the competition for AI leadership is more intense than ever.
