\"OpenAI ChatGPT maker OpenAI<\/a>‘s CEO Sam Altman<\/a> is optimistic about Google<\/a>‘s recent successes in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. In a recent internal memo to colleagues, Altman acknowledged that the AI startup rival’s success could “create some temporary economic headwinds for our company.” However, Altman reassured that OpenAI is “catching up fast” and anticipates emerging as the leader in the AI race. It’s important to note that Altman’s memo was written before Google’s Gemini 3 was released, a model the tech giant has described as its most capable to date. Software developers have reported that the new model performed well on tasks such as automating website and product design and writing code, which is a lucrative revenue stream for OpenAI and its competitors, such as Anthropic.Concerns about OpenAI’s slowing growth arose late this summer. During a recent quarterly earnings call with investors, the company\u2019s CFO, Sarah Friar, confirmed that user engagement with the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT had cooled, despite the company’s otherwise positive financial results.<\/p>\n

What Sam Altman said OpenAI employees about the company\u2019s biggest rivals<\/p>\n

According to a report by The Information (as seen by The Economic Times), Altman’s memo noted that competitors such as Google and Anthropic are narrowing the gap in the AI race Anthropic\u2019s Claude model generates computer code for various tasks using conversational prompts. Meanwhile, Google has been integrating its Gemini AI chatbot into its search app, productivity tools and other services. However, recently, Claude gained a new challenger from OpenAI with the introduction of Codex.Google also holds an economic advantage. OpenAI\u2019s growth has been rapid and the company now carries a valuation of around $500 billion as a for-profit entity. It is expected to bring in about $13 billion in revenue, but is estimated to burn roughly $100 billion in its push toward superintelligence.With a market value of about $3.5 trillion, Google reported free cash flow of over $70 billion in the past four quarters. A significant portion of this comes from providing cloud services to OpenAI, Anthropic and other competitors.Altman also encouraged OpenAI employees to stay confident and focus on the company’s larger goals.\u201cWe have built enough strength as a company to weather great models shipping elsewhere competition… (so), having most of our research team focused on really getting to superintelligence is critically important,\u201d Altman wrote in the internal memo.\u201cIt s**ks that we have to do so many hard things at the same time \u2014 the best research lab, the best AI infrastructure company, and the best AI platform\/product company \u2014 but such is our lot in life. And I wouldn’t trade positions with any other company,\u201d Altman added.Recently, OpenAI partnered with Apple’s biggest suuplier Foxconn to design and build AI data-centre components in the US. Under this partnership, OpenAI will help develop future server systems and may purchase Foxconn-produced hardware in the coming days. Altman noted that this collaboration can strengthen American manufacturing infrastructure.Commenting on the partnership, Altman said: \u201cThis partnership is a step toward ensuring the core technologies of the AI era are built here [US],\u201d and added that AI infrastructure production presents a \u201cgenerational opportunity to reindustrialise America.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ChatGPT maker OpenAI‘s CEO Sam Altman is optimistic about Google‘s recent successes in artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
