OpenAI’s In Code Red…Over Google’s Nano Banana

OpenAI declared 'code red' this week. Not over GPT-5. Not lawsuits. Over a Google model that runs on your phone. Gemini Nano is small, fast, and apparently terrifying to Sam Altman's team. Which raises a question nobody's asking out loud: What if the AI arms race isn't about size at all?

Your Best E-Comm Customer By 2026? A Bot.
