OpenAI recently responded to Meta's plans to release a standalone AI app, which is expected to be launched this year. This move is part of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's strategy to make Meta a leader in the AI industry.

According to a new report, Meta's standalone AI app is expected to be released in the second quarter of this year, similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT or DeepSeek. This app is intended to directly compete with ChatGPT/Perplexity and other standalone AI apps, providing users with a more accessible AI-powered digital assistant.

In response to Meta's plans, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hinted on X that the company might release its own social app. This indicates that the competition in the AI space is heating up, with both Meta and OpenAI aiming to be at the forefront.
