The most important aspect of this result is that all the proofs here were natural language. No lean proof nor other specialized systems in the loop. Math done the way that humans produce math 🧮 Truly remarkable milestone! Superb work from Alex, Sheryl, Noam, and co building on…
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).
If the incentives in your research turns from “training amazing models”, and “understanding intelligence” to just money, you won’t do great research. Great research stems mostly from internal drive
the kinda feedback that makes building in consumer truly worthwhile 👽:
The application of AI to medicine will so positively change the world
this story is going wildy viral on reddit. ChatGPT flagged a hidden gene defect that doctors missed for a decade. ChatGPT ingested the patient’s MRI, CT, broad lab panels and years of unexplained symptoms. It noticed that normal serum B12 clashed with nerve pain and fatigue,…
My angel investment philosophy is simple: if you beat me in chess or a hardcore board game (planet X), I’ll invest.
Everyone hating on Jeff Bezos wedding but I ordered on Amazon at 10pm last night and it's at here at 9am this morning Enjoy your wedding king
When you’re leading, you talk about the work. When you’re trailing, you talk about the leader. And when you're spiraling, you make stuff up. 🙃
AGI feels more inevitable than ever. With so much talent and capital going into improving models, even the most insurmountable obstacles (lack of data efficiency, etc.) will soon melt or get side-stepped. We can’t stop this train, but we can still influence its path! 🚂
Today, we released our report on competitive programming with large reasoning models. We show how our LLMs have evolved from amateur competitive programmers to competing with the world's best:
Today, we at OpenAI launched Deep Researcher and I wanted to share a deeply personal story about how amazing this tool is and how it will change the world. Trigger warning, related to cancer....1/9
Moving between the worlds of East coast academics and SF industry is jarring in terms of the predictions of how AI will change the world in next ~5 years. I think East coasters greatly underestimate the magnitude of change, and over index on temporary limitations of current…

Aragorn would never replace the men of Gondor with orcs even if the orcs were better soldiers, just saying
DeepSeek (Chinese AI co) making it look easy today with an open weights release of a frontier-grade LLM trained on a joke of a budget (2048 GPUs for 2 months, $6M). For reference, this level of capability is supposed to require clusters of closer to 16K GPUs, the ones being…
🚀 Introducing DeepSeek-V3! Biggest leap forward yet: ⚡ 60 tokens/second (3x faster than V2!) 💪 Enhanced capabilities 🛠 API compatibility intact 🌍 Fully open-source models & papers 🐋 1/n
It is alien technology. Alien of extraordinary ability.
o1 pro mode is worth every penny. I've been coding with AI for 2 years and this thing just saved me what would have been like 2 days of back and forth with Claude 3.5. I've never seen a model that pays attention to the entire context like this model does before. It's like a…
o3 scores a 2727 ELO on Codeforces which places it 175th in the global ranking. That‘s better than ~99.9% of humans on the website (who already tend to be far above average).
