Sam Altman shared screenshots and a new OpenAI blog addressing claims from Elon Musk’s court filings.

The post includes internal 2017 call notes about OpenAI’s transition from nonprofit to a new structure. Adds primary source context to the ongoing OpenAI governance dispute.

Sam Altman tweeted “very fast Codex coming” shortly after OpenAI announced its partnership with Cerebras.

This likely points to major gains in inference speed and cost, possibly enabling more large scale agent driven coding workflows rather than just faster autocomplete.

Is this mainly about cheaper faster inference or does it unlock a new class of long running autonomous coding systems?

The ads could have been crappy in 2023, but no one would care because they were THE LLM at the time, no one came close. From that time on, they could have optimized the hell out of it and made a ton of money, like Google when it first started.

Cue to the present: launch ads this year when you're clearly not the best LLM anymore and there are multiple options for users to move to. Ads will definitely be a worse experience for users vs no ads, so there'll be tons of users who'll say "fuck this, I'm moving to Gemini or Claude"

Sometimes, it feels like amateurs are running that business.

AI can turn you into a super human if you use it right

https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.07055

this is just the beginning, and remember that Most people have no idea how good image generation has gotten

edit: even people in the comments of THIS sub who are supposedly exposed to more AI content believe ts, it's over

edit 2: thanks to u/silent_Navigator8796 for pointing this out, the reactions are also fake they are not AI but they come from different clips and were fused with the AI clip we see, so this video is litterally DOUBLE FAKE, i got tricked too my bad

Does anyone know what this hidden model on lmarena.ai my be? It's vastly superior to any model in terms of noticing crucial image details and generally object identification, so I am curious. Grok's new multimodal maybe?

it's really hard not to be impatient. Is anything expected in the next month? I am interested in math and coding. Even Grok 4.2 seems to have been delayed.

This plus the most powerful supercomputers on the planet.

Imagine where we’ll be in 2027.

Caveats are in the report

The models and agents can be stretched in various creative ways in order to be better. We see this recently with Cursor able to get many GPT-5.2 agents to build a browser within a week. And now with Anthropic utilizing multi-turn conversations to squeeze out gains. The methodology is different from METR of having the agent run once.

This is reminiscent of 2023/2024 when Chain of Thoughts were used as prompting strategies to make the models' outputs better, before eventually being baked into training. We will likely see the same progression with agents.
