OpenAI
The AI lab behind ChatGPT and the GPT model family.
Coverage of OpenAI is holding steady : 21 signals on the latest tracked day, up 17% from its three-week baseline of 18, across 11 domains (down from 16 a week ago). That makes it the #136 most-covered of the 348 concerns we track.
OpenAI is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 18 signals a day across 11 domains (46 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 23+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 11. That is the move that would push it up the Wire. It sits on our AI & Compute Desk.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
