AI is cool i guess

[Sam Altman @sama]

theUSshould lead on AI by continuing to develop the very best models, making sure they're safe, and getting cyber tools into the hands of trusted defenders.

the new EO gets the balance right.

[Sam Altman @sama]

one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"

Ecclesiastes 9:10

[Sam Altman @sama]

The OpenAI Foundation is doing a lot of wonderful things.

Helping society become resilient to AI is going to be incredibly important. Much more to come here!

[The OpenAI Foundation @FoundationOAI]

AI is advancing quickly. Society’s ability to manage its risks must advance just as fast.

Today we’re sharing our vision for AI Resilience, with more than $130M in initial grants underway across bio-resilience, cyber-resilience, AI model safety, and AI’s impact on young people: https://t.co/mXwqzIYAPm

[Sam Altman @sama]

OpenAI Robotics is hiring, looking for exceptional full-stack hardware, ops, systems, and ML engineers to help us program and manufacture robots that are useful for society.

AI should be able to help people in the physical world. In the short term, we are focused on robots to support skilled workers to build our future infrastructure; in the long term, we imagine everyone having a personal robot doing anything they need.

Our world simulation research program, led by Aditya Ramesh (@model_mechanic), has evolved over the past year into OpenAI Robotics. Progress is rapid, and based on a foundation of co-design between robotics hardware and ML research.

If you love working hands-on across the robotics stack and want to build the future, please consider joining us. Send an email with your background and evidence of exceptional accomplishment to: [email protected]

[Sam Altman @sama]

We want to help the world get a head start on biodefense:

Five million users would agree. Resetting the limits tomorrow morning to celebrate.

Time to go /fast

[Sam Altman @sama]

AI should dramatically increase quality of life and individual freedoms for people around the world.

The OpenAI Foundation is making an initial $250M commitment to measurement, transition support, and new approaches to broadly shared prosperity.

🛫

[Hermeus @hermeuscorp]

Supersonic. Mach 1.21.

Quarterhorse Mk 2.1 is now the world’s first privately developed, unmanned supersonic jet and the fastest unmanned aircraft flying today.

This flight makes Hermeus the fastest company in aviation history to go from founding to supersonic flight - exactly 364 days after the maiden flight of our first aircraft.

Now, we fly faster.

A special thanks to @DIU_x, Director @OwenWest91, Maj. Gen. Joe "Solo" Kunkel, and Deputy Director Kyle Norman.

[Sam Altman @sama]

what problem do you most hope AI will solve in the future?

maybe we can help!

[Sam Altman @sama]

new codex ships today!

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

It’s Codex Thursday, and yes, we have updates for you.

First up: Appshots, a new way to bring the context of what you’re working on into Codex.

On your Mac, press Command-Command to attach your app window to a Codex thread. Codex gets both a screenshot and text from the window, including content beyond what’s visible onscreen.

Appshots are available across plans on Mac, with enterprise access coming soon.

the attack at the mosque in san diego is one of the most chilling i have seen.

my deepest condolences to the victims, families, and community.

[Sam Altman @sama]

three of the things we are most excited about:

1. AGI accelerating research
2. AGI accelerating companies
3. personal AGI accelerating everyone in achieving their goals

today it was great to announce the unit distance result.

yesterday it was great to announce that we are offering to invest $2M in openai credits into every YC company.

now we need to increase our efforts on the third!

[Sheryl Hsu @SherylHsu02]

It’s a really special time to be alive…some thoughts from training this model 🧵

[Noam Brown @polynoamial]

Today, we’re sharing that a general-purpose internal @openai model achieved a breakthrough on one of the best-known combinatorial geometry problems. Less than 1 year ago frontier AI models were at IMO gold-level performance. I expect this pace of progress to continue.

[Sam Altman @sama]

a general-purpose model solved a major open problem in mathematics.

we'll be saying this a lot over the coming years, but this is a kinda big milestone.

i'm very excited for AI to greatly extend our understanding of the world, but still, i have complicated feelings today.

[Timothy Gowers @wtgowers @wtgowers]

If you are a mathematician, then you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.

[Sam Altman @sama]

i am excited to see what will happen with tokenmaxxing startups, both for how they work internally and the products they can build.

openai offered to invest $2M in tokens into every startup in the current yc batch.

happy building!

[Tyler Bosmeny @bosmeny]

A mic drop moment @ycombinator tonight

@sama just offered $2M in OpenAI tokens to EVERY YC startup in the current batch in exchange for equity

Just like Yuri Milner offering to invest in every startup back when Sam was a YC partner

I can't wait to see what's unlocked when you let the most driven, creative and formidable founders tokenmaxx

[Sam Altman @sama]

we will offer this until we sell out of our current allocation for this program. (we will make sure to leave enough capacity for ChatGPT, Codex, etc.)

we plan to offer it again in the future; our intention remains to build as much compute as fast as we can.

[Sam Altman @sama]

customers are increasingly asking us for certainty on capacity. as models get better, we expect that the world will be capacity-constrained for some time.

we are offering discounted tokens for 1-3 year commits.

(it also helps us plan, so hopefully a big win-win.)

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Introducing OpenAI Guaranteed Capacity: a new offering that enables customers to guarantee long-term access to OpenAI compute.

We’ve made long-term investments in infrastructure, partnerships, and capacity planning to help customers scale reliably.

Now, Guaranteed Capacity helps customers plan ahead for critical workloads in a compute-constrained world.
