Altman Issues Code Red at OpenAI over Google’s Gemini’s Latest Model

By

The undisputed dominance of OpenAI’s ChatGPT is now facing an existential threat, prompting CEO Sam Altman to reportedly declare an internal “code red” on Monday.

This emergency directive instructs the company to immediately halt numerous forward-looking initiatives and pivot all resources toward aggressively improving the performance and reliability of its flagship conversational product. The dramatic decision acknowledges that the startup’s once-unassailable lead in the generative AI race is rapidly eroding under intense competitive pressure from rivals, most notably Google and Anthropic.

The severity of the situation is reflected in the designation, which elevates the crisis beyond the previous “code orange” level. The need for decisive action comes as OpenAI spends billions annually on compute costs and talent, facing the dual pressures of intense technological competition and the need to achieve a highly ambitious, long-term profitability target.

In the internal memo, reported by The Wall Street Journal and The Information, Altman mandated that the pursuit of new revenue streams and applications must be temporarily sacrificed to focus on product stabilization. This strategic shift involves putting on hold several high-profile projects, such as:

  • Monetization and Growth Initiatives: Development of integral monetization features, including the integration of advertisements (ads) within ChatGPT and the deployment of advanced AI-powered shopping features, has been delayed.
  • Specialized AI Agents: The rollout of complex AI applications like health agents and the highly anticipated ChatGPT Pulse personal assistant has also been put on the back burner.

Instead, the company’s daily focus will now be entirely on core product refinement. Altman instituted a daily call for staff tasked with development and encouraged temporary team transfers to accelerate the work on essential features.

The focus areas are explicit: achieving greater speed and reliability, delivering better personalization, and enhancing the model’s broader question-answering capabilities through improved knowledge and reasoning.

The Competitive Threat of Gemini’s Surge and Structural Advantages

The urgency of the “code red” is directly attributable to the aggressive technological and market penetration achieved by competitors, completing a sharp role reversal from late 2022 when Google was forced into its own “code red” by ChatGPT’s arrival.

Altman congratulated Google last month, following the release of Gemini 3.

“Congrats to Google on Gemini 3! Looks like a great model,” he said.

The primary factors threatening OpenAI’s position are:

  • Gemini 3’s Benchmark Dominance: Google’s latest model, Gemini 3 Pro, has leveraged its unique research strengths to achieve superior performance across critical benchmarks. It has surpassed OpenAI’s current GPT-5 model on several industry-standard tests, particularly those assessing complex reasoning tasks, visual interpretation, and multimodality. Gemini 3’s groundbreaking 1-million-token context window also provides a strategic advantage, allowing corporate clients and developers to process and reason over massive, previously unmanageable documents and codebases.
  • Explosive User Base Growth: While OpenAI retains a large user base (reportedly 800 million weekly users), Google’s AI user base has seen explosive growth. Web analytics show users now spend more time with the Gemini interface, and the MAUs have surged from 450 million in July to 650 million in October. A major contributor to this growth was the viral success of the Nano Banana image generation and editing model (officially Gemini 2.5 Flash Image), which attracted over 10 million new users to the Gemini app and facilitated over 200 million image edits within weeks of its launch.
  • Structural Cost Disadvantage: OpenAI operates at a structural disadvantage compared to Google. Google controls the “full stack,” including its own specialized TPU chips for cheap training and deployment, its Google Cloud infrastructure, and seamless integration across Search, Android (3 billion devices), and Workspace. Conversely, OpenAI relies on Microsoft’s cloud and expensive Nvidia chips, creating a higher operational cost base that makes it difficult to sustainably challenge rivals on pricing or achieve long-term profitability.

The pressure is further compounded by Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.5 model, which consistently rivals or exceeds the performance of OpenAI’s current model in key tests. Altman has reportedly sought to reassure employees that a new reasoning model is in the pipeline, which he believes will surpass Gemini 3’s capabilities, but the immediate “code red” suggests the company cannot afford to wait for that next-generation model to arrive.

Big Battle, Big Tobacco, Big Deal in The Global South [GIN Therapy Part 3]

By
Nnamdi Madichie

In wrapping up my three-part GIN Therapy series, I turn to Tobacco – and its marketing in the Global South.

Only recently, I published an article “Cutting Loose or Losing (Tobacco) Control over Loosies,” in Woxsen Insights – the in-house magazine/ newsletter/ blogsite of the Woxsen University Hyderabad (India) – where I opined that the term “loosies” in this case study specifically refers to single cigarettes sold individually and outside of standard packaging – often as a means to sidestep tax laws and regulations. Interestingly, the term also carries other meanings, such as non-album musical tracks released individually by artists, or more colloquially, any single loose cigarette sold at retail level.

This practice is not unique to Africa – loosies permeate markets in the Global South and the GIN (Ghana, India, Nigeria) discussed illustrate only part of the bigger picture. Oceania, for example, leads the pack (in percentage terms) in tobacco consumption, but African countries probably trumps that when it comes to the headcount (due to having larger populations).

Starting with Ghana, although the has ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and became a party to the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products in 2021, there is a need to fully implement these international commitments, especially the protocol on illicit trade. In a recent article “The trade of illicit cigarettes in Ghana,” published in Tobacco Prevention & Cessation, it was pointed out that “Ghana has made important strides in tobacco control: the implementation of an early advertising ban (1982), the passage of the Tobacco Control Act (in 2012), the prohibition of single-stick sales (2017), the implementation of graphic health warnings (2018), provision of tax stamps on tobacco products (2018), and, more recently, the ratification of the ITP (2021) and a review of tobacco taxes”. The study went on to highlight that single stick sales continue to be rampant in Ghana, and cigarettes remain accessible and inexpensive (< US$1 per pack), with total excise taxes on tobacco products in Ghana accounting for only 31.8% of the average retail price.

An earlier study, “Landscape of tobacco control in sub-Saharan Africa,” mentions that Ghana’s tobacco regulation includes the Public Health Act of 2012 and the 2017 Tobacco Control Regulations, which prohibit smoking in public places, ban tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship (TAPS), and mandate graphic health warnings on packaging. With all the regulations including the Public Health Act 2012 and the prohibition on the sale of single sticks and a ban on sales to minors, challenges remain due to issues like inadequate resources for enforcement, the prevalence of illicit trade, and the continued sale of individual cigarettes. Three ‘i’s stood out – Inconsistent enforcement, Industry interference, and Illicit trade – leading to a fourth “i” – implementation challenges.

In terms of inconsistent enforcement, regulations like the ban on single-stick sales are not consistently enforced, and designated smoking areas are still common in public spaces. When it comes to industry interference, there is concern about the tobacco industry’s interference in policy development, as the code of conduct to protect public health policy from industry influence has not been issued. Finally, the illicit trade of tobacco remains a significant problem, exacerbated by porous borders and a lack of effective enforcement.

Moving on to India, loosies are also common, with single sticks priced between ?15 ($0.17) and ?25 ($0.28). Besides the prevalence of loosies – there’s another uphill battle that still requires a fix (literally speaking) – paan masala – It’s complicated as “paan masala may or may not contain tobacco,” but when it does, it is considered a tobacco product. While pure pan masala is a mixture of ingredients like areca nut, lime, and spices, many versions also include a complimentary pouch of chewing tobacco, and products like “gutkha” are a blend of pan masala with tobacco. Tobacco-containing pan masala is a harmful and potentially carcinogenic smokeless tobacco product. As the following article  “Social Determinants and the Prevalence of Paan Masala Use among Adults in India” from the  2016-17 PubMed Central (PMC) “Global Adult Tobacco Survey” reveals, the battle is hardly won against Big Tobacco.

As for Nigeria, this context was captured in my article “Loosies”! Has Africa Lost the War on Big Tobacco?, and an earlier wider 2-part study examining the regulatory hurdles and public policy implications of ongoing regulatory breaches by “Big Tobacco” in Africa – from the ‘outright sale’ of single cigarettes (“loosies”) to ‘outright bans’ on smoking in public places, advertising regulations to plain packaging initiatives.

In the first study “Consumer Protection in Sub-Saharan Africa: An Exploration of “Big Tobacco” Marketing Practices in 2016, I explored how tobacco marketers used Sub-Saharan Africa as a testbed for “guerrilla marketing” strategies, exploiting weak consumer protection laws that were already well established elsewhere. In my follow-on study three years later in 2019, “Regulatory Challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa and Marketing Malpractices of “Big” Tobacco,” I went a step further to review regulatory practices in Nigeria alongside other African countries – Malawi and Mauritius. That study revealed that while policies to protect vulnerable groups from harmful products exist, enforcement had been – and is still – inconsistent at best. For example, although selling single cigarettes is illegal in much of the world, the practice remains widespread across African markets, particularly in the three countries examined.

In that article, I also highlighted how tobacco companies frequently partnered with governments in joint marketing initiatives – from publicity and sponsorship efforts that not only glamorized smoking, but also projected it as “cool.” Evidently the economic stakes further complicate matters – In Malawi, for example, tobacco contributes about 50 percent of the country’s total foreign currency earnings and 15 percent of GDP – making it politically and economically – difficult to penalize “Big Tobacco” for regulatory breaches.

Let’s face it, Tobacco Regulation in the Global South is not just a public health and social issue, but also one of marketing – social, strategic or sustainable marketing – that requires further research interrogation especially where there are real or perceived power asymmetry – “Global North” versus “Global South”, and between tobacco production and consumption.

This article ultimately speaks to both SDG3 (good health and wellbeing) and SDG12 (sustainable production and consumption) – it is all going up in smoke it seems.

Saudi Arabia Hails New OPEC+ Output Capacity Mechanism as Group Holds Production Steady Amid Rising Geopolitical Tensions

Saudi Arabia’s energy minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, on Monday praised a newly adopted mechanism for assessing OPEC+ members’ maximum oil production capacity, saying the framework will strengthen market stability and reward countries that continue to invest in boosting output.

OPEC+ on Sunday approved the mechanism, which will be used to calculate members’ baselines from 2027, the production reference point that determines individual output quotas. The group, which includes OPEC members and allies led by Russia, said the new system offers a clearer and more reliable way to determine the true capacity of each country.

Prince Abdulaziz described the decision as “fair and transparent,” adding that the level of technical detail behind the mechanism gives the alliance a stronger tool to manage global oil supply.

“Now we have the most detailed, the most technical, transparent approach of how we can move forward in the future in managing the market and how to attend to production,” he said during the launch of a Saudi-Russian business forum in Riyadh.

He added that Sunday’s meeting was “probably one of the most successful days in my personal career” and expressed gratitude for Russia’s backing. The minister said the framework will “reward those who invest and those who believe there is growth,” giving an advantage to producers expanding capacity.

The new system comes after years of tension within the group over production baselines. The United Arab Emirates, which has built significant new capacity, has long pushed for higher quotas. Others, particularly some African producers, have seen capacity decline but resisted reductions in their quotas. Angola quit OPEC in 2024 following disputes about its production allocation.

As part of Sunday’s decisions, OPEC+ agreed to keep oil output unchanged for the first quarter of 2026. According to sources familiar with the talks, the evaluation of members’ maximum production capacity — crucial for the 2027 quota reset — will take place between January and September 2026.

Oil Prices Hold Firm as Geopolitical Risks Mount

Global oil prices were steady on Tuesday as traders weighed rising geopolitical tensions against a generally oversupplied market. Brent crude slipped 18 cents, or 0.3%, to $62.99 a barrel by 1017 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate dipped 13 cents to $59.19. Both benchmarks gained more than 1% on Monday, with WTI nearing a two-week high.

Analysts say the price movements reflect a tug-of-war between bearish supply fundamentals and a cluster of new risks.

“The latest goings-on in the oversupplied global picture putting pressure on prices have been balanced by hits on Russian infrastructure that accelerated through the weekend, as well as bubbling tensions between U.S.-Venezuela,” said Rystad Energy’s Janiv Shah.

He added that geopolitical risk premiums had risen in recent sessions after Russian-flagged vessels were targeted.

The Caspian Pipeline Consortium confirmed that oil shipments had resumed from one mooring point at its Black Sea terminal after a major Ukrainian drone strike on November 29 disrupted operations. The incident added to concerns about supply disruptions as the conflict in the region continues to intensify.

Further uncertainty entered the market after U.S. President Donald Trump declared on Saturday that “the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela” should be considered closed. The U.S. warning introduces a fresh layer of unpredictability given Venezuela’s status as a major oil producer.

Analysts are also watching developments around the Ukraine peace talks, which could influence Russian crude flows.

“Focus is also on the Ukrainian peace talks, which might result in Russia increasing its crude oil and product exports once again, although this process is likely to be protracted,” said Tamas Varga of PVM Oil Associates.

On the diplomatic front, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner are holding talks in Moscow on Tuesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev will also meet Witkoff, according to individuals familiar with the discussions mentioned by Reuters.

Meanwhile, Russia signaled confidence in its oil trade with India despite recent declines. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Indian journalists that the dip in India’s purchases of Russian oil may last only for “a brief period.” Moscow, he said, intends to boost supplies to New Delhi. Russia remains India’s largest oil supplier, but the South Asian nation is set to reduce imports to a three-year low this month after the U.S. sanctioned Rosneft and Lukoil, Moscow’s top oil producers.

Nvidia-Backed $4bn Luma AI Expands to London Amid Rapid Global AI Growth

By

Nvidia-backed video generation startup Luma AI is preparing to establish a major presence in London, marking a significant step in the U.S. tech company’s international expansion strategy.

The Palo Alto-based firm plans to hire approximately 200 employees at its new London base by early 2027, accounting for around 40% of its workforce, across research, engineering, partnerships, and strategic development.

The expansion follows a $900 million Series C funding round led by Saudi Public Investment Fund-owned AI company Humain, which brought Luma’s valuation to over $4 billion. The startup had previously received backing from Nvidia. CEO and co-founder Amit Jain highlighted that the Series C funding, alongside the planned build-out of global compute infrastructure, provides the capital and capacity to deploy world-scale AI capabilities directly to creative industries worldwide.

Luma AI is focused on developing “world models,” AI systems capable of learning from video, audio, images, and text. These models are designed to complement and extend the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. Currently, Luma targets marketing, advertising, media, and entertainment sectors through its API and content creation suite, enabling enterprises to integrate AI-powered video generation into their operations.

Jain emphasized London’s strategic value for Luma’s European expansion, citing access to top-tier research talent from universities and institutions like DeepMind, as well as the city’s position as a gateway to the European market. “Launching across Europe and the Middle East is the logical next step in putting this power directly in the hands of storytellers, agencies, and brands globally,” he said.

A Broader AI Industry Expansion

Luma’s move reflects a wider trend of North American AI startups establishing bases in Europe to access talent, regulatory stability, and market opportunities. In November, San Francisco-based Anthropic announced plans for offices in Paris and Munich, following earlier hires in London and Dublin. Canadian AI startup Cohere set up a Paris office as its EMEA headquarters in September, and OpenAI inaugurated a Munich office in February.

The focus on “world models” represents a significant evolution in AI applications. While these visual models currently trail LLMs by approximately a year to a year and a half, researchers consider them potentially crucial to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). Jain predicts that as video content consumption continues to dominate daily digital activity, world models will emerge as the “natural interface” for AI in routine life. Major tech players, including Google, Meta, and Nvidia, are also actively developing world models for diverse use cases.

In September, Luma released its latest model, Ray3, which benchmarks above OpenAI’s Sora and at comparable levels to Google’s Veo 3, demonstrating the startup’s competitive positioning in the rapidly advancing AI sector. The London expansion, combined with heavy investment and technical development, positions Luma as a key player in the AI industry’s explosive growth phase.

The AI sector continues to experience unprecedented expansion, driven by the adoption of generative AI, machine learning platforms, and compute-intensive models. Nvidia, as a leading GPU supplier, has been a major beneficiary, powering the backbone of AI model training and inference. Startups like Luma AI illustrate how specialized applications, such as video generation, are becoming commercialized across creative, industrial, and enterprise domains.

This period of AI growth is believed to have prompted both investment and talent shifts globally. Companies are establishing international offices to tap into local expertise while positioning themselves to serve regional markets. With multibillion-dollar valuations, startups are attracting strategic investors like Humain and Nvidia to fund infrastructure-intensive AI development.

Analysts note that as these models scale and integrate with enterprise systems, demand for AI-capable hardware, cloud compute, and skilled engineers will surge, fueling a cycle of further investment and innovation.

Jain highlighted the role of AI in transforming industries beyond text and chat-based applications, emphasizing video and multimodal AI as crucial to the future of creative content. The integration of AI into production workflows, advertising, marketing, and media operations reflects the broader trend of AI as both a business accelerator and a technological disruptor across sectors.

Thus, the expansion move by Luma AI exemplifies the convergence of innovation, talent mobility, and strategic investment that characterizes the current phase of rapid AI industry growth.

Game Selection: A Deep Dive

Gala Spins boasts a diverse game selection, catering to various player preferences. You’ll find a comprehensive range of options, neatly categorized for easy navigation. The core offerings span from classic slots and engaging table games to the immersive experience of a live casino and the unique blend of slots and bingo found in Slingo games. The quality of the game selection is powered by collaborations with leading software providers like NetEnt and Playtech. While the casino offers a decent mix, some players might find the emphasis leans heavily towards slots, potentially leaving those seeking a broader range of table game variants wanting more.

Spotlight on Slots

The slots selection is where Gala Spins truly shines. From timeless classics that evoke a sense of nostalgia to modern video slots with cutting-edge graphics and innovative features, you’ll discover an impressive array of titles. Fan favorites like Rainbow Riches and Starburst are prominently featured, alongside the thrilling potential of Megaways slots. For those chasing life-changing wins, a dedicated section houses a variety of jackpot slots. Gala Spins regularly updates its library with new titles, ensuring there’s always something fresh to explore. The variety extends to themes, covering everything from ancient civilizations to fantasy realms, ensuring there is a game for everyone.

Slingo Selection

Slingo is a unique game that combines elements of slots and bingo. The goal revolves around marking off numbers on a bingo card by spinning a reel of numbers. Completing lines, or “slingos,” awards prizes. Each game has a different design and theme. Gala Spins offers a solid selection of Slingo games, including popular titles like Slingo Starburst, Slingo Deal or No Deal, and Slingo The Chase.

Bonus Bonanza or Bust?

Gala Spins rolls out the red carpet with a welcome bonus designed to catch the eye, but beyond the initial sparkle, it is important to examine whether the promotions truly benefit the average player. The headline figures can be attractive, often involving a combination of bonus funds and free spins, but the devil is always in the details – specifically, the terms and conditions.

Wagering requirements are a crucial aspect to understand. These requirements dictate how many times you need to wager the bonus amount (or sometimes the bonus plus deposit amount) before you can withdraw any winnings derived from the bonus. For example, if you receive a £50 bonus with a 40x wagering requirement, you would need to wager £2,000 before cashing out. This can be a significant hurdle, especially if you are a casual player. Bonus codes can also play a role, unlocking exclusive deals, but it’s vital to enter them correctly to claim offer.

Time limits are another factor often overlooked. Bonuses might need to be claimed within a specific timeframe after registration, and wagering requirements usually have a deadline for completion. Game restrictions also apply, limiting bonus play to eligible games.

Decoding the Wagering Requirements

Wagering requirements can be tricky to navigate. Imagine this scenario: You claim a £20 bonus with a 30x wagering requirement. This means you need to bet a total of £600 (£20 x 30) before any bonus winnings convert to real cash. Seems straightforward, right? But some games contribute differently to those requirements.

Slots typically contribute 100%, meaning every £1 you wager counts as £1 towards fulfilling the requirement. However, table games like blackjack or roulette might only contribute 10% or even less. So, if you bet £10 on roulette, only £1 might count toward the wagering requirement. It’s wise to focus on games which contribute fully to clear your bonus faster. By doing this you increase your odds. Thoroughly review the T&Cs; don’t let your bonus turn into a bust.

Banking Options: Deposits and Withdrawals

Gala Spins provides a variety of secure payment methods for both deposits and withdrawals, ensuring a smooth and convenient experience. Players can choose from established options like Visa and modern e-wallets such as PayPal and Skrill. These methods are meticulously secured using advanced encryption protocols to protect financial information.

When it comes to deposits, many options offer almost instant crediting to player accounts. Withdrawal processing times can vary depending on the chosen method; e-wallets generally offer the fastest access to funds. Minimum and maximum transaction limits are in place, catering to different player preferences. It’s advisable to check the specific terms and conditions associated with each payment method on the Gala Spins website.

The following table outlines the typical payment methods , limits and processing times:

Payment Method Minimum Deposit Maximum Deposit Withdrawal Time

 
Visa £10 £2,500 1-3 business days
PayPal £10 £2,500 Up to 24 hours
Skrill £10 £2,500 Up to 24 hours

Mobile Gaming: On-the-Go Experience

For players who love to spin while on the move, Gala Spins offers access through both a dedicated mobile app and a mobile-optimized website. Users can easily find the app on major app stores, ensuring a smooth installation process. The app generally provides a more streamlined and responsive user experience compared to the mobile site, with quicker loading times and smoother gameplay. Though the mobile site offers the advantage of instant access without needing a download, the app tends to be more stable and less prone to browser-related hiccups.

Navigating the Gala Spins mobile platform is a breeze, with an intuitive layout that makes finding your favorite slots or promotions straightforward. Almost all games available on the desktop version are also accessible on mobile devices. While occasional minor bugs might surface, especially after updates, the overall mobile experience is polished and enjoyable, providing seamless entertainment on the go.

Trustworthiness and Security: Is It Legit?

When venturing into the world of online casinos like Gala Spins, ensuring your security and the legitimacy of the platform is paramount. The first step is to verify their licensing. Gala Spins, for instance, holds license number 54743 issued by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). This licensing indicates that they adhere to strict regulations and standards set by a reputable authority.

Beyond licensing, examine the security measures in place. Reputable casinos utilize SSL encryption technology to protect your personal and financial data during transactions. Look for the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar, which signifies a secure connection.

Responsible gambling initiatives are another strong indicator of a trustworthy casino. Gala Spins, like many responsible operators, offers tools and resources to help players manage their gambling habits. This includes deposit limits, reality checks, and self-exclusion options, often in partnership with organizations like GamStop. By implementing these measures and crosslinking to responsible gaming resources, casinos demonstrate their commitment to player well-being that everyone can take care of himself or herself.

Customer Support Quality

Navigating the world of people search engines can sometimes require a helping hand. A crucial aspect to consider is the quality of customer support offered. Look for the availability of multiple channels, such as live chat, email, and phone support. Responsiveness is key – are inquiries addressed promptly, or are there excessive waiting times? When using features like live chat, note how long it takes to connect with an agent. Additionally, it is important that the customer support is available during the hours you need it. Finally, assess the helpfulness and professionalism of the support team. Are they knowledgeable and able to resolve issues efficiently? By evaluating these factors, one can determine the overall standard of customer support provided.

Pros & Cons: The Bottom Line

Gala Spins offers a vibrant platform with a wide array of games and a welcoming bonus structure. However, it’s important to consider the wagering requirements attached to bonuses, which can be a significant hurdle. Ultimately, Gala Spins presents a mixed bag, appealing to casual players seeking entertainment, while potentially frustrating those chasing substantial wins due to the aforementioned wagering requirements.

Alternatives to Gala Spins

Looking for a change from Gala Spins? Several alternative casinos in the UK offer similar or even better experiences. Wink Slots provides a vibrant and user-friendly platform, while Casimba boasts a massive selection of games from various providers. BGO Casino, known for its promotions and loyalty program, is also a good site. These alternative casino sites provide different spins on online gambling, ensuring every player finds a platform that suits their preferences.

Conclusion

In final verdict, is Gala Spins worth a spin? For those seeking a dynamic and engaging online gaming experience within the UK, the answer leans toward a resounding “yes.” Gala Spins offers a diverse selection of games, coupled with enticing promotions and a user-friendly interface. While potential players should be mindful of wagering requirements and withdrawal times, the overall experience provides enough excitement to warrant a recommendation of trying Gala Spins, so users can make their own opinion on the platform.
