OpenAI is quietly working on a new social media platform that could challenge giants like X (formerly Twitter) and Meta, while providing Sam Altman’s team with real-time data to fuel future AI models.
What We Know So Far:
- According to The Verge, OpenAI has built an internal prototype of a social feed that leans heavily on ChatGPT’s image generation tools.
- The project is still early stage, and CEO Sam Altman has been privately gathering outside feedback on the idea.
- It’s unclear whether the social platform will be a standalone app, a feature within ChatGPT, or whether it will launch at all.
Altman previously joked about building a social app in response to Meta’s assistant project, tweeting:
“ok fine, maybe we’ll do a social app.”
Why This Matters:
- A social network would give OpenAI access to a stream of real-time, user-generated data—a goldmine for training next-gen AI models.
- And with trends like the viral Studio Ghibli-style image boom showing how fast users flock to visual AI tools, OpenAI could scale fast.
No official confirmation yet, but if this moves forward, it could be a major shakeup in both AI and social media.
