GPT Image 2.6 is here. We went through a wishlist of improvements, like speed, editing precision, less AI style, visual annotations, and GIFs. With this, the Pareto frontier is just GPT Image!

@eshita One of the most innovative comedies every (along with The Office).

I guess I shouldn't start my ChatGPT conversations with "Hey, can you hear me?"

Today, we’re sharing the training infrastructure behind Reve models.

In the past two years, we built and scaled our platform to support frontier-level training efforts. We're releasing this technical report as a helpful reference for other small teams building at scale.

@sampullara It's much more believable that a relatively inexpensive, undifferentiated, race-to-the-bottom TV with limited brand affinity would be looking for "creative" revenue than that your iPhone is sharing advertising data to Instagram.

[Christian Cantrell @cantrell]

@thekitze Yes! I'm really sick of hearing people say what a "brilliant" design this is when it's very obviously and objectively a waste of a screen you just paid quite a lot of money for.

@mickeyxfriedman I don't claim to be an expert, but I think the incentives are different. On X, the objective (at least in theory) is to build a community around your identity. On TikTok, the objective is to keep going viral. Those are very different games.

I woke up this morning thinking, "I had the craziest dream about flying cars." How will any future product announcement ever hope to compete?

[Christian Cantrell @cantrell]

@sampullara I'm only halfway through The Brutalist. I love films with baked-in intermissions. That's how you know it's a film, not a movie.

[Christian Cantrell @cantrell]

I just used https://t.co/171nvtTD5P to compare Jev with @OpenAI's new Decisions API. The upshot:

• Jev is slightly faster, but unless your use case is extremely latency-sensitive, not meaningfully.
• The Decisions API is slightly more accurate. (Jev just can't do date math.)
• If you need to classify images, the Decisions API is the clear winner. No comparison.

Overall, if you're already using OpenAI APIs, I think it's pretty hard to make the case for Jev. Anyone finding different results?

@NeharikaSrivast Thanks. Just DM'd you.

I'm looking for a kick-ass product person who wants to do two things:

1. Get deep into the operations side of early-stage startups.
2. Completely rethink HCI.

You don't have to be a traditional PM, but you do have to be:

• Product-obsessed.
• Design- and/or engineering-adjacent.
• AI-pilled (though it's OK to hate the term "AI-pilled").
• In person every day in Palo Alto. (We have a beautiful office, great food, and an incredible, talent-dense culture.)

Reve's next chapter is going to be big, and we're moving fast. DM me to learn more. (No contractors, please.)

[Christian Cantrell @cantrell]

@sampullara @kellabyte We'll definitely have a few pairs at the office for prototyping.

[Christian Cantrell @cantrell]

@sampullara @kellabyte Oh man. I was ready to buy.

@hollllyli I just love that some companies are still willing to risk live demos. Everyone in that room knew that you were taking a chance, and everyone respected you for it. Just look ahead to the next one.

I'm surprised the new Siri is getting so many positive reviews. I'm pretty disappointed. Maybe it's better than the old Siri (I wouldn't know; I seldom used it), but it's significantly worse than all the other agents in my life. Am I missing something?

[Christian Cantrell @cantrell]

I love building games with https://t.co/Dzsyq58lzV. I can have all my assets (including music) and annotations on canvas at once. I'm about two weeks away from launching what I think will be the most powerful and creative agent harness in the world.
