What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

The competitive landscape in artificial intelligence is intensifying across multiple fronts. OpenAI has introduced Presence, an enterprise product that embeds AI agents into companies' proprietary systems for functions like customer support and sales process management. This push occurs as the broader AI industry grapples with model commoditization due to capable rivals releasing products at lower prices. Meanwhile, Alphabet Inc. faced market scrutiny after reports indicated that its flagship model, Gemini 3.5 Pro, was months behind schedule due to necessary upgrades to its training data.
