ChatGPT Triggered A 'Code Red' At Google, & Sundar Pichai Just Explained What Happened Next

When ChatGPT launched in late 2022, it caught the public and the tech industry off guard, including Google. In a recent interview at Google's Manhattan offices, CEO Sundar Pichai spoke about the moment he realised how fast the AI race had picked up pace. Despite having positioned Google as an "AI-first" company back in 2015, Pichai admitted that the speed at which things moved still took him by surprise.  Speaking to Fast Company, he recalled his first reaction to seeing OpenAI's chatbot: "Wow, this technology is going to diffuse earlier and faster than we were expecting." How ChatGPT Triggered A 'Code Red' At Google Pichai described the moment as "uncomfortably exciting." What made it more striking was the fact that Google's own research labs already had the technology needed to build something similar. It was OpenAI, however, that was first to turn it into a product that grabbed global attention. Reports from that period said Google had internally declared a 'Code Red', with employees rushing to respond. Pichai confirmed that this scramble eventually led to the development of Gemini 3, Google's latest AI model series.  Released in late 2025, Gemini 3 Pro has since outperformed rivals from OpenAI and Anthropic across several industry benchmarks.  The tables then turned, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly issuing his own internal warning, telling staff that "the vibes out there" would be "rough for a bit" as Google found its footing again. What Pichai Said About Google's Long-Term AI Strategy This is not the first time Pichai has addressed the ChatGPT launch. At Salesforce's Dreamforce conference last year, he acknowledged that OpenAI deserved credit for moving first, even though Google had been working on similar technology.  "We knew in a different world, we would've probably launched our chatbot maybe a few months down the line," he said, adding that the product had not yet met Google's internal quality standards at the time. Pichai also spoke about Google's broader approach, describing it as a "full-stack" strategy that focused on building from infrastructure to model training. "If you were on the outside, it would look like we were quiet, or we were behind, but we were putting all the building blocks in place, and then executing on top of it," he said.

Peace Watch: Mojtaba Khamenei Reportedly Agrees to US Talks Amid War

In a potentially game-changing development on day 25 of the conflict, Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly open to negotiations with the United States, signaling a possible shift toward de-escalation. The claim, attributed to a Saudi Arabian news agency, suggests that backchannel diplomatic efforts may finally be yielding results after weeks of intense hostilities. This development comes shortly after Donald Trump indicated that talks with Iran were underway, even as Tehran had publicly denied any such engagement. Trump had also announced a temporary pause window, offering time for negotiations and hinting at a potential “deal.” For weeks, multiple regional players—including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan—have been quietly working to mediate between the two sides. If the latest reports hold true, it could indicate that Iran’s powerful military establishment, particularly the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is aligned with exploring diplomatic options. However, uncertainty remains high, as there has been no official confirmation from Tehran. The situation is further complicated by ongoing strikes between Iran and Israel, which continue despite talk of negotiations. If confirmed, this move could mark the first real step toward a ceasefire, offering a glimmer of hope in an otherwise escalating conflict.

War Alert: Iran Strikes Dimona Nuclear Site; Tehran Hit by Airstrikes

A dramatic escalation in the ongoing conflict has emerged as Iran reportedly launched fresh missile strikes on Dimona, targeting the highly sensitive Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center. The हमला is said to involve advanced missiles, including the Ghadr and Emad systems, signaling a strategic shift toward high-value targets. Dimona, known for its nuclear significance, had also been targeted in a previous strike, raising concerns over escalating risks to critical infrastructure. Simultaneously, Iran has intensified attacks on US-linked bases across the Gulf region, further widening the scope of the conflict. Reports indicate that multiple interception attempts by Israel’s air defense systems have had mixed success, with some missiles managing to penetrate and cause damage in civilian and strategic zones. In retaliation, United States and Israel have launched coordinated airstrikes on Tehran. Loud explosions and massive fireballs have been reported across the Iranian capital, indicating significant impact on targeted locations. Adding to the intensity, reports suggest the use of cluster munitions in attacks on Tel Aviv, causing widespread destruction in residential areas due to multiple sub-explosions. As both sides continue targeting key cities and infrastructure, the conflict shows no signs of slowing, despite parallel diplomatic efforts involving several global and regional players.

War Flash: Iran Fires Ballistic Missile at Tel Aviv, Heavy Damage Reported

In a major escalation, Iran has launched a ballistic missile strike targeting downtown Tel Aviv, causing significant destruction in a densely populated civilian area. The attack reportedly hit a zone filled with residential buildings, commercial establishments, and busy streets, triggering fires, panic, and large-scale damage. Visuals emerging from the site show thick smoke, burning structures, and emergency teams rushing to control the situation. Initial reports suggested a small number of injuries, but the toll is now feared to be higher as more details emerge from the ground. Rescue operations are ongoing, with authorities attempting to evacuate residents and provide urgent medical aid. The use of a medium-range ballistic missile in a civilian zone marks a serious intensification of the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel. The strike has also raised concerns about the effectiveness of Israel’s air defense systems, as the missile managed to penetrate and hit a central urban location. This development comes despite earlier remarks by Donald Trump suggesting a temporary pause in targeting key infrastructure. However, continued retaliatory strikes from both sides indicate that the conflict is far from de-escalation, with risks of further escalation looming over the region.

Silver Prices Take A Hit (March 24), Check 1 Gram And 1 Kg Rates In Major Cities Across India

Silver Prices Today March 24 2026: Silver prices extended their decline on Monday, coming under pressure amid a broad-based sell-off in precious metals driven by rising inflation concerns and a firm US dollar. The weakness follows a sharp correction in global bullion markets, where silver has been impacted by heightened volatility and a shift in investor sentiment. Analysts said inflation fears, fuelled by surging crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions in West Asia, have reduced the appeal of non-yielding assets such as silver. In international markets, the sell-off in precious metals continued, with Comex contracts witnessing sustained losses for multiple sessions. The decline in gold prices below key psychological levels further added to pressure on silver, given the strong correlation between the two metals. Market participants noted that silver, which had seen a strong rally in recent months, is now facing aggressive profit booking and concerns around stretched valuations. The current phase reflects a broader correction after an extended uptrend. At the same time, macroeconomic factors remain a key driver. The US dollar index has held firm above the 99 mark, making dollar-denominated commodities more expensive for global buyers. The Indian rupee has also weakened near the 94 level against the US dollar, adding to volatility in domestic markets. Despite the near-term correction, analysts maintain that silver’s long-term outlook remains constructive, supported by robust industrial demand and structural supply constraints. However, in the short term, price action is expected to remain volatile as markets adjust to evolving inflation expectations and interest rate outlooks. Silver Price Across Major Cities In India On March 24 Silver Price In Delhi Today The current silver price in Delhi stands at Rs 235 per gram and Rs 235,000 per kg. Silver Price In Chennai Today The current silver price in Chennai stands at Rs 240 per gram and Rs 240,000 per kg. Silver Price In Bengaluru Today The current silver price in Bengaluru stands at Rs 235 per gram and Rs 235,000 per kg.
