**[OpenAI Strengthens Efforts to Counter Google AI Competition]** According to a report by Jinse Finance, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently admitted in an internal memo that Google's advancements in the field of artificial intelligence might bring "short-term economic headwinds" to the company. As reported by *The Information*, Altman acknowledged that Google's newly launched AI model may have temporarily taken the lead and stated, "We know we still have work to do," adding that public opinion "might be quite challenging for a period of time." Altman specifically praised Google's "outstanding results" achieved during the model pre-training phase, while noting that OpenAI is developing a new model called *Shallotpeat* to address these technical challenges. Despite OpenAI's valuation remaining as high as $500 billion, competitors such as Anthropic and Google are accelerating their efforts to catch up, with the latter narrowing the usage gap with ChatGPT through its Gemini chatbot.
