Sam Altman Is Sorry GPT5 Sucks: AI Crypto Traders Back VIRTUAL’s GAME Crypto Over TIBBIR

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, faced the crowds on 28 October 2025 for an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session, where he apologized for how the company handled the switch from GPT-4 to GPT-5 back in August this year.

He acknowledged that the upgrade (was it an upgrade?) had been difficult for some users, especially writers and creators. “We definitely learned things about the 4o-to-5 upgrade,” he said. “We’ll try to do much better in the future, both about continuity and about making sure the model gets better for most users, not just for people using AI for science or coding.”

During the AMA, Altman accepted that OpenAI failed to clearly explain changes done to safety filters and promised that verified adults will have more control over what their AI can say.

He said, “If this is going to be a platform that people everywhere can build on, use, and create with, we know they’ll have very different needs and desires. There will, of course, be some broad limits, but we want users to have real control and customization over how they use it.”

After the apologies however, Altman changed gears and focused on ambitions and laid out his vision for OpenAI’s future.

He introduced the new OpenAI Foundation, which plans to direct around $130 billion in equity towards science and humanitarian efforts. Altman also revealed that OpenAI has extended its partnership with Microsoft through 2032, and it is now worth $135 billion.

However, his biggest announcement during the AMA was a $1.4 trillion plan to build a global network of data centers called Stargate, which OpenAI estimates, will produce a gigawatt of AI computing power per week.

TIBBIR focuses on AI-finance integrations like agent commerce and micropayments, and investors such as Ribbit Capital’s Micky Malta back it.

GAME on the other hand, is the native token of the GAME Framework, that allows users to build AI agents capable of making decisions and executing blockchain transactions. GAME acts as the gas layer that powers the entire system.

While TIBBIR aligns with AI agent narratives, GAME performs core infrastructure tasks with wider utility.

Why is $GAME skyrocketing so quickly?

In simple terms, we should be valuing $VIRTUAL like a Layer 1 blockchain.

This suggests that traders are moving away from individual agent tokens and towards infrastructure tokens like GAME. Expanding the comparison window, GAME has jumped by more than 230% on a monthly basis, while TIBBIR has only gained 48%.

Moreover, GAME’s smaller market cap means that it has more room to grow from the fees that the entire platform, including TIBBIR activities, collects.

Both the tokens have their strengths and weaknesses, however, GAME’s lower valuation gives it more upside potential. Moreover, traders see GAME as a broader bet on the future of AI agents since it powers more than 17,000 agents and earns fees from their activities and is more resilient that TIBBIR that depends on hype around specific agents.
