- OpenAI is postponing advertising experiments, shopping and health agents, and the Pulse personal assistant to free up engineering capacity for core quality improvements.
- The memo says a new reasoning model is targeted for next week and claims internal evaluations show it outperforming Google’s Gemini 3, which OpenAI has not publicly confirmed.
- Google’s latest model has led recent benchmarks and grown to about 650 million monthly users, while OpenAI says ChatGPT reaches roughly 800 million weekly users.
- Reporters noted elevated error rates and outage complaints for ChatGPT on Tuesday, and OpenAI did not provide public comment on the leaked memo.
