OpenAI is building its own social network, according to The Verge: the AI ​​startup aims to go beyond ChatGPT

An OpenAI social network. Sources consulted by the reputable technology outlet indicate that OpenAI is working on a platform similar to X, the social network formerly known as Twitter and acquired in late 2022 by Elon Musk. The company has not yet commented on the matter.

The people who spoke on condition of anonymity explain that the project is in a very early stage. There are few details, but an internal prototype with a typical social network feed and image generation capabilities using ChatGPT is mentioned.

Standalone app or part of ChatGPT? This information raises several questions, such as whether, if the company decides to launch its own social network, it would be part of ChatGPT, likely integrated within the app, or developed as a separate platform, leveraging some of the chatbot’s AI features.

In the case of X, its main competitor, the integration with xAI is becoming increasingly deeper. Users can interact with Grok, the company’s chatbot, which not only holds conversations but also generates images and has a standalone app.
