OpenAI (OPENAI) is developing a large language model called Garlic to counter Google's (GOOG) (GOOGL) recent gains in AI development, according to The Information.

Following the release of Google's Gemini 3, which the tech giant touts as its "most intelligent" model, OpenAI is now on the defensive. The shift in power reportedly caused OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to hit the panic button after a memo leaked to The Wall Street Journal revealed that Altman declared a "code red" at the company.
