While OpenAI has been completely focusing on expanding and extending its technology to wider markets by constantly introducing new models and updates, the competition in the industry is getting fierce, especially with Chinese players grabbing quite the attention. After DeepSeek’s growing popularity, the ChatGPT maker has become more aggressive with its approach. It recently introduced GPT-4.1 and is working on advanced reasoning models. Now, OpenAI is reportedly working on a new social media platform that is said to be similar to X and mirror the same format.
OpenAI is said to be working on its own social media platform similar to X
OpenAI has undoubtedly revolutionized AI and the potential of the technology, and its ambitious approach keeps emphasizing how the company is here to expand itself in varied domains. While we have been hearing about the company working on super AI agents and advanced reasoning models, many sources say it is now moving in a different direction by working on a social media platform similar to X.
While the project is said to be still in the works and in the early stages, an internal prototype is said to be tested for a social media feed that is built around ChatGPT’s image-generation tools. Varied sources report that OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman has been discreet about it and is seeking advice from people about the platform. While there is ambiguity regarding whether OpenAI will launch the social feed as part of ChatGPT or whether it will be a dedicated app, the company pivoting in this direction could change how content is consumed online.
OpenAI has not given any official statement on the ongoing development and is yet to confirm the project, but if it is to launch the platform, it could not only change the dynamics of the market but also intensify its rivalry with Elon Musk. It has not been long since Musk offered to buy OpenAI for about $97.4 billion, to which Sam Altman not only rejected but replied in a witty manner by saying,
No thank you, but we will buy Twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.
OpenAI moving in this direction would increase user engagement and could be a significant step in AI development, given how others in the industry benefit from real-time information generated by users to train their AI models. The company could greatly be at an advantage with access to user-generated content that could help its models further. OpenAI would be setting itself apart from other platforms through higher-quality content. By creating such a platform, the company would expand its ecosystem and also could shake the position of the biggest social media players in the industry.
