ChatGPT maker OpenAI was dealt a one-two punch on Tuesday, in a pair of separate blows that could undermine the firm\u2019s dominance in the AI field.<\/p>\n

First, as The Economist<\/em> reports<\/a>, Microsoft and Nvidia announced that they had signed a $350 billion deal with competitor Anthropic, \u201cstrategic partnerships\u201d that almost doubled the latter company\u2019s September valuation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then, Google came in with the kill by releasing<\/a> Gemini 3, its latest and \u201cmost intelligent model\u201d that impressed in early tests<\/a>, especially when compared to OpenAI\u2019s latest GPT-5.1 model, which debuted<\/a> just last week.<\/p>\n

In short, OpenAI\u2019s grip looks shakier than ever \u2014 despite the firm\u2019s meteoric rise to fame following the advent of ChatGPT almost exactly three years ago.<\/p>\n

Complicating matters is a skittish market. Concerns over a growing AI bubble sparked a major tech selloff<\/a> earlier this month, with analysts balking at an enormous and growing gulf<\/a> between astronomical valuations and relatively tiny revenues.<\/p>\n

While Nvidia\u2019s posting of better-than-expected revenues<\/a> on Wednesday reignited investor enthusiasm, nobody knows how the story will end.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a lot of talk about an AI bubble,\u201d a boisterous Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told investors. \u201cFrom our vantage point, we see something very different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that Nvidia has signed up to hook Anthropic up with its AI hardware for the first time, and Google is making measurable progress with its latest Gemini 3 model, the pressure on OpenAI \u2014 once the de facto AI product, especially for curious amateurs \u2014 is mounting.<\/p>\n

Of particular concern for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: the usership gap is continuing to shrink. Google says its Gemini app has 650 million monthly active users<\/a>, while Altman claimed last month<\/a> that ChatGPT hit 800 million weekly users.<\/p>\n

As The Economist<\/em> points out, OpenAI\u2019s plan appears to be doubling down by spending even more cash. It\u2019s already planning to spend north of $1.4 trillion<\/a> on data center buildouts over the next couple of years \u2014 and it\u2019s still burning through billions of dollars<\/a> each quarter.<\/p>\n

That strategy could spread uncertainty from Wall Street to private markets, making it even harder to justify sky-high valuations in light of some steep competition putting a damper on potential revenue.<\/p>\n

Nobody knows what all of the pressure on OpenAI will amount to. Some expect Anthropic \u2014 and particularly Google \u2014 to continue undermining the company\u2019s dominance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in a situation where \u2014 because of Google\u2019s size and space and their first-mover advantage in search \u2014 Gemini could take market share and cause OpenAI and others to fall behind,\u201d JonesTrading chief market strategist Mike O\u2019Rourke told the New York Times<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Others are convinced that the gauntlet has already been thrown.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpenAI has basically squandered the technical lead it once had; Google has caught up,\u201d noted AI skeptic Gary Marcus wrote in a recent blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
