I am very grateful Aleksander accepted our request to come take this on; the safety and security challenges in front of us as we confront superintelligence are immense, and he has an excellent set of skills to work on this. https://t.co/myODbyruRO

and thank you to the untold number of people who put in the technical work, brick by brick over the generations, to get us to the point where such a wonder is possible.

thank you to the machines, and the structure of reality, for letting us understand a little more.

I am very uncomfortable about people trying to ascribe religious force or a surrender of human judgment to AI models, and think it is a real safety issue.

The contrast between hanging up the last phone call of the day of high-stakes decisions and then a minute later walking in the door to the pure love of small children who want to laugh and play and show you every discovery they made that day is the strangest and best thing I have

dot is my favorite openai product so far! it is amazing to me that each day it feels noticably better as it learns more of my workflow and style. having it do the stuff i don't like doing--and usually just builds up as a gravity well of dread--has me very happy.

You should be able to use your AI subscription wherever you need: https://t.co/XpVq1kVYxe

Also, 6.1 Sol was our fastest-growing model ever, and was a bit slow under load. Should be much better now!

I think there is much more potential energy in Sign In With ChatGPT/Plugin Extensions than we realize

DevDay was really fun, the builder energy was crazy Still wild to me to see people making whole startups in a day

(As a side note, getting ready for this DevDay is the first time I remember ever, in OpenAI history, saying "this is too much stuff to launch".)
-
We ❤️ developers. See you next week.
-
We want the OpenAI API to feature the best model at every price point and to be the best at every modality (text, code, image, video, etc). And then we want you all to come up with great ideas and build them and to get to be happy users. The best ideas will come from you all.
-
Especially compared by per-task pricing, which is the metric that should matter, I don't think there is anything competitive anywhere in the market. We want people to be able to use tons of AI; it is important to being able to explore this new renaissance in front of us. https://t.co/ac7M9QjIsm
-
GPT-6 Sol and Luna are big improvements on intelligence, alignment, work output, coding, computer use, and more over their 5.6-family predecessors. They are also half the price per token, and even less per task!
-
GPT-6 Sol and Luna are great models but also these characters are so cute https://t.co/EHygWsROjz

People outside the AI labs should have a real say in how this technology develops, and a clear way to judge if it's happening safely. Standards should help prevent the concentration of power, including by making sure new companies and open-model companies can compete. They

There are two ways AI progress could go very badly and that we must avoid. First, we could lose control of the future to AI. This is unacceptable; we are unapologetically on Team Humanity, and AI must always serve people. To ensure that, we need ways to ensure that alignment and https://t.co/GK7XcoOh3v

@tszzl I have been thinking it is time to host a good party

The world deserves confidence that American companies developing increasingly capable AI will act responsibly, especially as the trajectory of progress has steepened. Every frontier lab must deliver on this, and there is no reason any of us should come to work if we cannot. We

I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we've had at OpenAI in recent weeks. Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same. We'll have more to share soon. https://t.co/1YhhIybZX7

@scaling01 ugh AI is such a bubble, i heard they are selling tokens at a loss, did they know this was only worth $1 million?

We want to celebrate with people using GPT-6. We did this for GPT-5.5 and it was really fun. We’re getting together in SF on September 16 to talk about the model, what we should build next, and mostly just to hang out. Apply by Sep 10: https://t.co/3LIMfGOBRQ

I spent much of the weekend talking with the team who did this work. Seb--and everyone else--acted with integrity and generosity throughout. Initially we believed the other team had also solved the problem. We wanted to collaborate and do a joint release. When we learned that https://t.co/XESh5oFHHE
-
The world has extremely capable models now; I did not expect a result of this magnitude to happen so soon. We have been talking a lot about the need to pace progress to ensure safety; for me this is the strongest evidence yet of the urgency.

One of the most amazing moments for me in OpenAI history was watching this happen over the past week: https://t.co/Lc5YGVtxEE

An important post from Jakub: https://t.co/YEntsN2fss

@Royultea_ they give me a special one i think
-
it is obviously trivial relative to everything else, but the fact that astra can make me whatever fun little game i can imagine and i can be playing it a few minutes later is so cool
-
Now out to all Plus and Business users. Happy building! https://t.co/66tabg3Yid
-
GPT-6 Astra is now available to all Pro, Enterprise, and Business Premium users in Work/Codex, and is available in the API. We will start rollout to Plus and Business users next. Thank you for the patience.
-
We are also excited! https://t.co/XpOH5RjCha
-
@froy0Joe i am hopeful that you can use it this weekend! but can't promise yet.
-
@daniel_mac8 go to bed
-
first, sorry for the messy rollout. second, when we screw up, we try to make it right. third, we should be able to begin broad rollout to API customers and chatgpt subscribers in the near future. as usual we will start with pro subscribers. https://t.co/nKOhW18CDK
-
Also, this is my favorite OpenAI video so far. It makes me excited for the future! https://t.co/P6X49JKrG6
-
We are working towards getting Astra in everyone's hands as quickly as we can; I know it is frustrating and I appreciate the patience. It should be quick.
-
We hit a little snag getting the blog post deployed, but it is really great: https://t.co/jjqXUWfrNW
-
GPT-6 Astra is here. We hope it will begin to enable a new generation of entrepreneurship, scientific discovery, and building. We believe it is the best model in the world for computer use, professional work, science, coding, cybersecurity, and more. It took us some extra time
-
Over the summer, we have been sprinting on safety priorities; it's more important than ever for capabilities and safeguards to advance together. We have more to do but have made a lot of progress. We are also going to be launching our next model soon. There is an obvious tension
-
this is a critically important moment for cyber defense with AI; there is not much time to act. we are happy if you want to work with us or any of our competitors or partners, but please take this moment seriously. only an urgent and intense collective response will work.
-
i think we should do another party for our next model release, the 5.5 party was a lot of fun. what would make the next one awesome?
-
@KeyTryer i don't think i was wrong on capability timelines; actually quite good on those predictions. society and the economy are taking longer to integrate the capabilities than i had guessed, but i don't think that's all bad. (also might change in the future.)

one of the things i like most about the openai team is how focused they are on our customers and users succeeding, and how much they celebrate it

astra is a powerful model and we are working to make it generally available. we do not think it is a good strategy to keep powerful models to a chosen few. given its cyber capabilities, we need a little big longer to do do this safely. but hopefully not too long!

so far at least, i'm pretty sure AI has been net job-creating. this was not what i expected--although i was much less pessimistic than others, i thought by this level of capability we'd have seen some impact. it is possible this direction keeps going!
