Overview

  • OpenAI is prototyping a social media platform centered on ChatGPT's image generation technology, revealed by The Verge on April 17, 2025.
  • Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, has privately sought external feedback on the project, signaling its early development stage.
  • It remains unclear whether the platform will launch as a standalone product, integrate into the existing ChatGPT app, or proceed at all.
  • If launched, the platform could provide OpenAI with valuable real-time user data to enhance AI training capabilities, a key strategic advantage.
