OpenAI has a Mark Zuckerberg-shaped problem
Meta's Muse agent competes with ChatGPT, raising the stakes for OpenAI's DevDay conference. Sam Altman's company is expected to respond.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg faces a hurdle in the AI race against OpenAI. OpenAI's ChatGPT has long been the face of consumer AI, but a new personal AI assistant called Muse is gaining traction. Muse, developed by Meta, can browse, click, type, and chat across the internet, handling tasks given to it. It even surpassed ChatGPT in free app charts this week.
Meta plans to integrate Muse into smart glasses and create a new gadget called Muse Charm. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, is concerned as Muse demonstrates that an AI tool can perform work without relying on OpenAI's advanced models. It also shows that Meta is investing heavily in keeping a ChatGPT competitor free. OpenAI hasn't launched a direct response to Muse yet, but they could at their DevDay conference.
Other AI competitors include Instinct, a startup, and Google's Gemini Spark. The race for a durable and monetizable AI use is heating up, as companies aim to improve people's lives.
