- OpenAI might be planning a ChatGPT-powered social media app to compete with X, Instagram, and Facebook.
- Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, is looking for feedback from experts, hinting at early-stage development of the app.
- There are no other details or a timeline when we can expect such an app to arrive.
The vicious rivalry between AI models like ChatGPT, Grok, and Meta AI might take a big turn in the coming months. That’s because OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, could be planning to come out with its own social media platform as an alternative to other popular options like X, Instagram, and Facebook.
Various sources familiar with the project, informed The Verge , that Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has been asking for feedback from outside experts on the matter. This isn’t anything new. Sam Altman has shown interest in creating their own social media platform publicly on X . This was when Meta announced a standalone app for their AI model.
It seems that if such an app is in the works, it might be in the early stages of planning. So it is also unknown whether OpenAI would integrate into ChatGPT, which has become the most downloaded app in the past month. No thanks to their new image generation model and the viral Ghibli trend .
However, a new social media app from OpenAI could spark further rivalry between Sam Altman and X CEO, Elon Musk. The interest in building a ChatGPT social app also seems to have occurred after Musk integrated GrokAI into X, sparking jealousy, according to another insider. Especially given how actively people have been using Grok and making its replies go viral on the platform.
If you ask me, I’d say the main reason why OpenAI is looking into its own social media app is to have its own pool of user data. The company has been accused of training its model using data from other platforms. So this would offer them their own set of fresh new data to use for ChatGPT.

- OpenAI is reportedly working on a music generation tool to create AI music with text prompts.
- The company is working with students at the Juilliard School to train the AI model.
- It is unclear when it will be available and whether it will be a standalone service or part of ChatGPT.
OpenAI is reportedly developing a new tool that will enable users to generate music with a simple text prompt, and it is collaborating with students at the Juilliard School to train its upcoming model.
Will OpenAI’s Music Generation Tool Be a Threat to the Music Industry?
This tool will let users generate music tracks with a text prompt , similar to how you make images with AI, or create videos on the Sora 2 app . OpenAI is thinking of a tool that can be used to create a guitar to accompany a vocal track, or allow artists to create a custom base track for their music.
According to the report by The Information that OpenAI is working with students at Juilliard Schools to annotate scores to create training data for the music model. We can expect it to work something like the popular Suno tool that many people use to generate AI music.

However, it remains unclear whether this AI music generation tool will be a standalone app, like Sora 2. Or will it be part of ChatGPT like its image generation models? It is also unknown whether it will be a paid service upon release or free for all users.
AI music is already having a big impact on the music industry. People are recreating the likeness of popular artists and uploading the songs as their own. Spotify is taking steps to fight AI music , along with other music labels, to fight AI fluff on the platform. OpenAI was also called out recently for the inappropriate use of copyrighted characters in the Sora app .
