Trying to make AGI go well. Researcher at @openai. Views my own.
We’ve updated our analysis of the trends of leading models. The takeaway? The amount of compute used to train frontier AI models has grown by 5x per year since 2020.
tell your OpenAI friends to come to our talk 1p today! x.com/BarrAlexandra/…
It's so cool researchers give cross-lab talks Two papers recently on my reading list: 1. Anthropic's Alignment Faking in LLMs 2. METR's Cursor/Productivity paper Both teams giving talks at OpenAI this month — feels unreal to access to all this world-class research
I’ve heard of offers higher than your highest. The highest you’ve heard is regular to me

Genuinely curious how many normal people know the answer to this question. I don’t know how far in my own bubble I am.
If he’s the CEO then who put him on leave??
earlier in the week, through our OpenAI Academy initiative, we brought 1,000 nonprofit leaders across 10 US states to build with AI, from Arkansas to Ohio to California to New York. we ran workshops in partnerships with local nonprofits with hands-on sessions using ChatGPT to…
this story is absolutely unremarkable except in how it managed to combine almost everything it's socially acceptable to hate brilliantly: HR, Coldplay, Cheaters, CEOs, millionaires.
I'm hearing disturbing reports that the new wave of Bay Area AI people don't know they're supposed to read the Three Body Problem trilogy. Get on it, folks
He can't be serious. He posted this right before OpenAI announced they got Gold in the IMO. Truly the Jim Cramer of AI
1/N I’m excited to share that our latest @OpenAI experimental reasoning LLM has achieved a longstanding grand challenge in AI: gold medal-level performance on the world’s most prestigious math competition—the International Math Olympiad (IMO).
When some people talk about future AIs, they sometimes jump straight to modelling them as fully independent and sovereign agents; new principals with their own objectives and values. They sometimes skip over how today's models actually work, on the grounds that eventually we’ll…
ChatGPT Agent is the first model we classified as "High" capability for biorisk. Some might think that biorisk is not real, and models only provide information that could be found via search. That may have been true in 2024 but is definitely not true today. Based our…
We’ve activated our strongest safeguards for ChatGPT Agent. It’s the first model we’ve classified as High capability in biology & chemistry under our Preparedness Framework. Here’s why that matters–and what we’re doing to keep it safe. 🧵

We’ve decided to treat this launch as High Capability in the Biological and Chemical domain under our Preparedness Framework, and activated the associated safeguards. This is a precautionary approach, and we detail our safeguards in the system card. We outlined our approach on…
"Three things: a deep research model with enhanced search browser; a revolutionary computer-use operator; and a sandboxed terminal to execute math and code. A browser, a computer, a terminal… are you getting it? These are not three separate agents. This is one agent, and we…
💥 Announcing ChatGPT agent: a powerful new agent that can use a computer, browse the web, write code, use a terminal, write reports, create images, edit spreadsheets, and even create slides for you. The slides often... need some work. But you know how this goes: first it's…
I didn't want to post on Grok safety since I work at a competitor, but it's not about competition. I appreciate the scientists and engineers at @xai but the way safety was handled is completely irresponsible. Thread below.

Scoop: Boris Cherny and Cat Wu are back at Anthropic, two weeks after joining Cursor. 🤯🤯🤯 theinformation.com/briefings/anth…
Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark tells Congress that “truly transformative technology” is expected by the end of 2026. He's urging a federal framework now, before an “accident or a misuse” event that could lead to extreme overregulation. And risk damaging the entire AI industry…
