OpenAI

The AI lab behind ChatGPT and the GPT model family.

Coverage of OpenAI is rising : 36 signals on the latest tracked day, up 157% from its three-week baseline of 14, across 13 domains (up from 11 a week ago). That makes it the #25 most-covered of the 274 concerns we track.

If OpenAI matters to your work, coverage is climbing off its baseline — worth a closer-than-usual look this week.

What’s changed

7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
