Sam Altman's Openai develops his own X-like social platform: Report | Mint

Openai is reportedly developing a social media platform similar to Elon Musk’s X, with Chatgpt’s image instruments and a social feed. CEO Sam Altman has quietly received feedback and fueled an ongoing rivalry with Musk. According to a report, Sam Altman’s Openai is testing a prototype of social networks linked to Chatgpt.

It is said that the internal prototype, which is still under the wrap, deals with Chatgpt’s image generation instruments and has a social feed-which shares the company’s potential first journey to real-time content. Openai CEO Sam Altman sought private feedback from outsiders on the project, the report states with reference to sources. It is unclear whether the social network as an independent app would start or be integrated into the Chatgpt platform. Altman vs Musk: Roads of the launch of a social platform will further deepen Altman’s longtime and public rivalry with Elon Musk. Earlier this year, Musk reportedly made an unsolicited $ 97.4 billion offer to the purchase of Openai. Altman said in his fresh response: “No thanks, but we will buy Twitter for $ 9.74 billion if you want.” Openai’s move in the same arena would direct the two billionaires directly against each other. Meta also in the Mix Openai’s ambitions also seems to be clashing with Meta, which is reportedly working to add a social feed to its own upcoming AI assistant app. When the rumors of Meta’s chatgpt meder first emerged, Altman threw another stitch on X: “Ok well, maybe we do an social app.” This tightening competition indicates a broader arms race in the AI-powered social space, where access to real-time, user-generated content is key to the refinement and training of powerful language models. The mixing of AI with content One major incentive behind Openai’s prototype is reportedly to generate its own data, something that Meta and Musk’s X has already exploited. Openai’s vision is reportedly using AI to help users create and share better content, and mix human creativity with machine optimization for maximum achievement. When is the launch? While the prototype exists in Openai, it is still uncertain whether the project will be public. But the existence of the effort reveals the company’s aggressive expansion thoughts as expectations for growth continue to increase. The social app, if they are materials, can become Openai’s next important product in the consumer that not only answers questions but forms conversations. First published: 15 Apr 2025, 23:54 IST
