It's official: we're developing 4.5 gigawatts of additional Stargate data center capacity with Oracle in the U.S (for a total of 5+ GWs!). And our Stargate I site in Abilene, TX is starting to come online to power our next-generation AI research. openai.com/index/stargate…
Quick thread on the recent IMO results and the relationship between symbol manipulation, reasoning, and intelligence in machines and humans:

Prognosen in der Rückschau
When will an AI win a Gold Medal in the International Math Olympiad? Median predicted date over time July 2021: 2043 (22 years away) July 2022: 2029 (7 years away) July 2023: 2028 (5 years away) July 2024: 2026 (2 years away) metaculus.com/questions/6728…
Sam Altman macht sich über drei Kategorien von potenziellen Gefahren durch KI Sorgen
Apparently it turns out that ChatGPT was literally going "Oh no Mr. Human, I'm not conscious I just talk that's all!" and a lot of you bought it.
Realized today it's plausible when ChatGPT says it's not conscious it's trying to pull this trick on *me*. "Oh no Mr. Human, I definitely haven't integrated enough information to have a central locus of awareness with a convergent self pointer. I'm just statistics teehee."
Wenn man das bereits heute öffentlich verfügbare Modell Gemini 2.5 Pro ein wenig an die Hand nimmt, löst es die Aufgaben der Internationalen Mathematikolympiade 2025 ebenfalls auf Gold-Niveau, wie die beiden internen Modelle, die Google und OpenAI darauf angesetzt hatten.
🚨 Olympiad math + AI: We ran Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro on the fresh IMO 2025 problems. With careful prompting and pipeline design, it solved 5 out of 6 — remarkable for tasks demanding deep insight and creativity. The model could win gold! 🥇 #AI #Math #LLMs #IMO2025
KI, die weiß, was sie nicht weiß
On IMO P6 (without going into too much detail about our setup), the model "knew" it didn't have a correct solution. The model knowing when it didn't know was one of the early signs of life that made us excited about the underlying research direction!
So I'll share something: I take pride in safety so much because way back when GPT-4 was compared to a nuclear bomb now look at the systems we have if we continue the only way to compare AGI if it got out of control is like an Alien Invasion. That's how bad the impact could be.
We have achieved gold medal performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad 🥇 🥳 This is the first general-purpose system to do so through official participation and grading, and I'm thrilled to have contributed a little to this milestone in mathematical reasoning 🌈🫶
An advanced version of Gemini with Deep Think has officially achieved gold medal-level performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad. 🥇 It solved 5️⃣ out of 6️⃣ exceptionally difficult problems, involving algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory. Here’s how 🧵
