At @farsight_ai, we got tired of people explaining their workflows to AI - what they should look like, what they should include, how things are connected.

Today we’re launching Freeform to fix that: SOTA, simultaneous large-scale generation across PowerPoint, Excel, and Word.

Creating 100+ page slide decks, multi-sheet interconnected excel models, and robust and lengthy narrative documents from scratch is a thing of the past now.

With Freeform, you can input a single prompt, and our system rationalizes across all of your data to understand not only what information is needed to execute something, but also what set of materials and outputs are required to complete it end-to-end.

Freeform is already taking real, meaningful work off our customers’ plates. It understands how teams actually work, why they do things the way they do, and matches their way of doing things exactly. This is the first solution in finance that completely removes the mental burden of using AI, allowing it to do the work completely for you, exactly how you would do it.

This fundamentally changes how financial work gets done. Extremely proud of what the team has built here.

Comment “Freeform” to get a demo.

@ajambrosino Make a code editor embedded into Codex and watch the world flip upside down

Purely a different GTM strategy - OpenAI w/ Consumer v Anthropic w/ Enterprise.

It generally explains the difference in their initiatives too: Claude Design, Claude Cowork, Claude O365 Add-Ins vs ChatGPT’s Ads, GPT Images 2.0, and now Sites for E2E website creation.

Now OpenAI is making a big enterprise push - and I think it’s easier to break into enterprise vs consumer given both have a 1T val. I think we’ll see this MAUs remain being a very large gap, but I don’t think this is indicative of company performance

@nosimus1 @scottastevenson René Descartes is that you? Great point actually lol

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

Aside from model-agnostic horizontal companies, this is also why vertical-specific AI companies are important.

Not having to lock your business in to a single AI model provider ensures that you take full advantage of ALL AI advancements and ensures you don't get price gouged

[Micky @Rasmic]

I'm rooting for companies like cursor, factory, and opencode

Model agnostic harness FTW

@benhylak announcement format looking like a festival lineup also caters to the mega-consumers that would both use a personal shopping and go to festivals. makes a lot of sense

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

@scottastevenson jk. this is how many interactions I had to give to Claude to get it to just say no instead of "I don't know" lol. Your debate remains open

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

@scottastevenson Claude agrees with you

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

@pranaveight Do you think that Codex usage will go up dramatically due to the merge of UX? How are you all going to push users towards Codex that are currently unaware of it?

Feel like people that would make use of Codex that are ChatGPT subscribers already use it, so curious for thoughts

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

@pranaveight @theo never heard anyone say “S-W-E” at all until now, sweebench is the only correct answer - all my love tho @theo

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

@diegocabezas01 don’t think the first part could’ve been more clearly a jest

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

@thatguybg Better than #000000

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

@TheRohanVarma Been a long time coming tbh given the current coding agent capabilities. Super interested to see how Loveable, Replit, even Vercel react. Congrats Codex team!

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

@thatguybg caffeinate -i

@thsottiaux OpenAI’s finance team to @thsottiaux

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

@metapreston They haven’t rearchitected the Siri model since it first came out - I think that non-hardware large r&d is just not worth the investment for them

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

@tszzl need something in-between https://t.co/2aVM6JQDOn and slack, lol. like default personal agent, human messaging allowed

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

Haven’t seen much on either the severe positive or severe negative for Opus 4.8 on the timeline.

What have you done that has been a step change with 4.8 compared to 4.7?

[Noah Faro @noahfaro]

I wonder if model providers will start intentionally training their systems to respond in larger output tokens by default to accumulate more spend?

[Adam Holter @AdamHoltererer]

Opus 4.6: maaax
Opus 4.7: maaaaaax
Opus 4.8: maaaaaaaaaaaaaax
