I've engineered a hand-crafted Transformer to do long-hand addition. All of the weights were hand-chosen by me. It is perfectly accurate. How? Fall down the rabbit hole here: colab.research.google.com/github/newhous… Short on time? Here's a summary 👇 1/

So excited for this -- begone wrapping all your LLM calls in a while loop until the model decides to follow your schema. If you're building on the API, it's hard to a imagine a use case where this wouldn't benefit immensely.

I've been driving the research for our collab with Jony Ive from w/in OpenAI for the last year, alongside the best team imaginable. Want to join us? Search for "future of computing" here openai.com/careers/search/! PS: cover letters help me filter a ton :) nytimes.com/2025/05/21/tec…

It's deeply concerning that one of the best AI researchers I've worked with, @kaicathyc, was denied a U.S. green card today. A Canadian who's lived and contributed here for 12 years now has to leave. We’re risking America’s AI leadership when we turn away talent like this.

Second ship of the day 📈 We're building ChatGPT into a contextual assistant. If you're wondering why @openai is building macOS and PC apps—this the beginning of why.

everyone wants to join a rocket ship until they remember they’re bumpy and on fire. buckle up y’all, only way to space.

The early chain of thought papers are what lead me to conclude that AI was going to work this time and MAN IS IT WORKING. This is an incredible achievement by even more incredible people 🙌

the first time gpt-4o responded to me in real-time, it was clear that we built something completely new – and that what we are building is the future of human-computer interaction. come build this real-time future with us. openai.com/careers/real-t…

Fun fact: @barret_zoph moonlights as a table

i am so excited about javi's excitement

I don't know who needs to hear this but: You can replace that old monitor you keep around to plug into linux servers w/ a $30 HDMI -> USB Capture dongle and Quicktime.

this is a good use of GPUs 😅

latest from preparedness @ openai: gpt4 at most mildly helps with biothreat creation. method: get bio PhDs in a secure monitored facility. half try biothreat creation w/ (experimental) unsafe gpt4. other half can only use the internet. so far, gpt4 ≈ internet… but we’ll…

🙌🙌🙌

I need a 6000 word New Yorker article on Ben’s mental state over the last 72 hours.

This is a somewhat awkward announcement that I accepted a job at OpenAI a couple weeks ago and started my move across the country this weekend! Great timing 🙌
