The agency was probably the other way around. Today is the first day of Google's annual Cloud Next event, so a bunch of enterprise AI product and feature announcements is basically expected. OpenAI would have been aware of that when choosing the timing of their own announcement. (That's not to say that OpenAI was making a panic announcement. Obviously they weren't. But seems like they pretty much had a free choice of whether to go before or after, while Google was locked into a preset and predictable schedule.)
