OpenAI

Sam Altman Enters Social Media Race Against Musk and Zuckerberg

OpenAI is reportedly developing its own social network, according to sources. Though in early stages, this could intensify CEO Sam Altman's rivalries with tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg as the AI race intensifies.

Details:

  • An internal prototype with a social feed focused on ChatGPT’s image generation already exists, with Altman seeking feedback. It’s unclear if it’ll be a standalone app or integrate into ChatGPT

  • This follows Altman’s exchanges with Musk, including a playful response to Musk’s $97.4B offer to buy OpenAI. Altman also hinted at a social app amid Meta’s ChatGPT competitor rumors

  • A social platform would give OpenAI valuable user data for AI training, with one concept exploring AI-assisted viral content creation, sparking jealousy over X’s Grok integration

Though uncertain amid OpenAI’s many projects, the development signals the company’s ambitious expansion during a period of high growth expectations.

Anthropic has integrated Claude with Google Workspace, allowing it to search emails, calendars, and documents for personalized responses. The upgraded Claude Research feature also boosts its web info-gathering capabilities.

Details:

  • Google Workspace integration is first available to premium subscribers (Max, Team, Enterprise, Pro) in beta, with admins needing to enable it for users

  • Claude provides personalized assistance, like highlighting key commitments, and includes in-line citations, but can’t schedule events or send emails

  • Meanwhile Claude Research conducts multiple web searches for comprehensive answers in under a minute, outperforming some competitors while maintaining quality through its existing search capabilities

These dual updates represent Anthropic's strategy to attract users with more useful features as it competes against larger rivals like OpenAI and Google.

Kling Launches World's Most Powerful AI Video Generator Challenging Sora

Chinese tech giant Kuaishou enters the global AI video race, claiming its upgraded Kling AI 2.0 is the "world's most powerful," challenging rivals like OpenAI's Sora and Google's Veo 2.

Details:

  • Kuaishou SVP Gai Kun revealed Kling has 22 million global users who’ve created 168 million videos and 344 million images. The upgrade improves instruction-following, prompt understanding, motion quality, and realism, with better controls for "punchier" videos

  • Artificial Analysis ranks Kling as the top image-to-video model and second in text-to-video, just behind Google’s Veo 2, boosting Kuaishou’s claims

  • Kuaishou also launched "NextGen" to support artists with funding, tech, and exposure, using a freemium model that charges for advanced features

This release marks a milestone in the AI video race, with ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent competing. Kuaishou's early entry gives it a potential edge.
