ChatGPT Adult Mode Delayed Again as OpenAI's 'Code Red' Reportedly Ends

8:54 PM IST · March 9, 2026

OpenAI's “code red” has reportedly reached its end, nearly four months after the company CEO declared it. In December 2025, reports claimed that Sam Altman declared a code red, keeping every non-ChatGPT project on hold. Ever since then, the San Francisco-based artificial intelligence (AI) giant has released three new AI models and multiple new features for the popular chatbot. At the same time, the company has reportedly delayed its “Adult Mode” feature for ChatGPT once again due to other higher-priority projects.
