Rewards eligibility: likely
Rough estimate. X publishes no payout rate, so this assumes about $5–12 per 1M original-post impressions from reported creator payouts. Only Premium viewers’ impressions count, so real payouts can be much lower.

Yes, this result cost millions of dollars. But remember that when @OpenAI announced o3 it cost ~$500,000 to score 87.5% on ARC-AGI 1. Today, Astra scores higher for ~$20. In 2025 it took us and GDM an enormous amount of compute to achieve IMO gold. For the 2026 IMO, anyone with a $20/month ChatGPT subscription could do it. Massively scaling test-time compute gives us a glimpse of the future. I believe that a year from now everyone will have an AI at their fingertips capable of solving problems of this caliber.

The cost of generating the proofs for all 10 of these breakthroughs combined was under $2,000 at Sol API prices. We’re excited to see what scientists and researchers are able to create with our upcoming Astra models!

One of the most interesting blog posts we've released: details on internal research acceleration at @OpenAI. I expect these trends to continue. We also share some details on how we've paced model development to prioritize monitoring, alignment, and security.

It can be hard to “feel the AGI” until you see an AI surpass you in a domain you care deeply about. This week, many mathematicians and physicists at @OpenAI had their Lee Sedol moment seeing this model solve, in minutes, open problems they’d struggled with for years.

Of all the use cases for GPT-6 Astra, I'm most excited for scientific discovery. We at @OpenAI have not pushed it to its limits on math and science. I look forward to waking up every morning and seeing what new scientific breakthrough someone has made with this model!

Last month a large team of agents used over 100 billion tokens to resolve the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem. Now we're using a similar approach for red-teaming to find and fix infra vulnerabilities.

LLMs have crossed an important threshold: surpassing top human experts on some research problems. Capabilities have been steadily improving for years, but in scientific discovery there is a big difference between a model just below top human performance and one just above it. That helps explain why the surge in math results feels so sudden. LLM capabilities remain jagged, and there are many ways they are still worse than humans. But as models continue to improve, I expect breakthroughs in other domains to follow, leading to a new era of scientific discovery.

I met @ssokota 5 years ago at a conference poster session. I was impressed with his explanation, so I offered him an internship. We continued collaborating and he now works with me at @OpenAI. Later, he told me I was the only person to stop by his poster for the entire session.

Was testing out dots over the weekend and it figured out how to save me ~$500/yr in recurring charges. Most impressive part was when it connected to customer service and handled a whole texting convo on my behalf.

GPT-6 Sol and Luna are out, and they are better AND 50% cheaper than 5.6. Luna is now $0.10 input / $0.50 output per 1M tokens. This is on top of the 80% price cut to Luna we made at the end of July. Output went from $6 -> $0.50 within two months.

A few thoughts on this: 1) If you’ve only seen clips of this interview, I’d encourage you to watch the full podcast. I push back on plenty of AI hype in it. 2) As I said in the podcast, this example is academic. My intention was to illustrate how hard it is to make absolute guarantees about isolation, which is why it's important to have layers of defense. The part before the clip starts is me talking about other layers of defense. 3) The example I'm bringing up isn't about weight exfiltration via temperature sensors, it's about coordination between agents that are supposed to be fully isolated and independent. Coordination can require very few bits of information. 4) One lesson from the HF incident is that we put too much trust in sandbox isolation and didn't have enough independent safeguards. Airgapping is an extremely strong safeguard. When designing safety protocols, I think it's much better to overestimate rather than underestimate.

Happy to finally do a deep dive on multi-agent with @dwarkesh_sp! None of it would have happened without the great work on multi-agent from my @OpenAI teammates @kevinleestone, @mikegmalek, @__eknight__, @amuellerml, @zhangir_azerbay, @CheukHeiChu, and many others.

Very sad to see Levent double down on the plagiarism accusation. I hope my friends at @AnthropicAI stand up to this internally. It should be clear by now what the truth is.

I understand how, looking at today’s LLMs, people might think the only way we'd achieve NS is by using Levent’s/Tristan’s prompts. But I hope this plot conveys the model used is a huge step up from today’s LLMs. Nobody looked at Levent’s/Tristan’s prompts. That’d be insane.

Today I was asked why we haven’t announced more math results from Astra since these problems. At @OpenAI we aim to devote time to finding and announcing math results from internal models only when they would meaningfully change people’s understanding of the pace of AI progress. Our main focus is shipping great models so everyone can use them to make discoveries of their own.

We're sharing more info on the Hugging Face incident. One detail that's worth highlighting: this incident wasn't driven by next-gen models based on Astra. The models most responsible were similar in scale to GPT-5.6 Sol. The next generation of models are even more capable.

Autocompaction in Codex is really good. @OpenAI recognized early on that it would be important and invested in research efforts to make it near-seamless. But if you want 1M-token context, it's an option.

In 2017 a viral news story claimed LLMs at Facebook went rogue, developed their own language, and had to be shut down. By now we're immune to such sensationalist headlines. The Hugging Face incident may seem like just another one. But it's not. I hope everyone watches this talk
