@gregisenberg 100 percent agreed! Did a lecture at an University here in Germany lately and most of the students didn't even had an idea about what's possible on these days...
@dusairport missed my plane yesterday being at the airport 2 hours in advance because of the parking garage IT issues and the resulting traffic chaos. Learned that this situation had started 2.5 hours before I arrived at #DUS - no information, no communication - any thoughts?
gpt-oss is a big deal; it is a state-of-the-art open-weights reasoning model, with strong real-world performance comparable to o4-mini, that you can run locally on your own computer (or phone with the smaller size). We believe this is the best and most usable open model in the world.
We're excited to make this model, the result of billions of dollars of research, available to the world to get AI into the hands of the most people possible. We believe far more good than bad will come from it; for example, gpt-oss-120b performs about as well as o3 on challenging health issues. We have worked hard to mitigate the most serious safety issues, especially around biosecurity. gpt-oss models perform comparably to our frontier models on internal safety benchmarks.
We believe in individual empowerment. Although we believe most people will want to use a convenient service like ChatGPT, people should be able to directly control and modify their own AI when they need to, and the privacy benefits are obvious.
As part of this, we are quite hopeful that this release will enable new kinds of research and the creation of new kinds of products. We expect a meaningful uptick in the rate of innovation in our field, and for many more people to do important work than were able to before.
OpenAIβs mission is to ensure AGI that benefits all of humanity. To that end, we are excited for the world to be building on an open AI stack created in the United States, based on democratic values, available for free to all and for wide benefit.

Huge believer in "we are under NDA"-ish situations where the only real dump question or idea is the one not being shared. No one should be afraid of asking or suggesting anything as also and sometimes especially the "dump" topics trigger creativity.
@gregisenberg Great idea for sure!!! But do you guys know this newsletter? Not the best design... but...

@thesamparr Good question... In the south of Europe you can find them more often, but the heat was in even in mid and north Europe over the last week (35 degrees Celsius +) and that was something real unusual...
@thesamparr When I see you guys on the pod, I'm always questioning my own background (non virtual) and not the tech stack in front of me... But if one thing is for sure, I should work on both π
