At Starbase today with a system that lets the market fund compute the way solar panels generate power.
A self-sustaining engine for AGI

@elonmusk
Delivering a sealed brief to Starbase today: a self-funding capital architecture that turns market intelligence into compute expansion.
The same system shared with OpenAI’s research leadership earlier this week.

[Thomas Harding @ThomasHardingHQ]

Shared a technical brief today with OpenAI’s Chief Research Scientist on a geometric liquidity framework that recycles market asymmetry into compute expansion. Preparing a Starbase delivery later this week.

GPT-5 bought calls and it was right!

Updates to ChatGPT:

You can now choose between “Auto”, “Fast”, and “Thinking” for GPT-5. Most users will want Auto, but the additional control will be useful for some people.

Rate limits are now 3,000 messages/week with GPT-5 Thinking, and then extra capacity on GPT-5 Thinking mini after that limit. Context limit for GPT-5 Thinking is 196k tokens. We may have to update rate limits over time depending on usage.

4o is back in the model picker for all paid users by default. If we ever do deprecate it, we will give plenty of notice. Paid users also now have a “Show additional models” toggle in ChatGPT web settings which will add models like o3, 4.1, and GPT-5 Thinking mini. 4.5 is only available to Pro users—it costs a lot of GPUs.

We are working on an update to GPT-5’s personality which should feel warmer than the current personality but not as annoying (to most users) as GPT-4o. However, one learning for us from the past few days is we really just need to get to a world with more per-user customization of model personality.

[Thomas Harding @ThomasHardingHQ]

@sama Love the push to simplify ChatGPT for the masses, but it’s clipped the wings of power users.
Suggestion: an “Advanced Model Control” toggle in settings for Plus & above only, so we can choose the right model for the job. Keeps normies happy, lets pros keep their edge.

The July 4–5 flood took 136+ lives.
Camp Mystic. Kerr County. We remember.

We honor those lost and those who fought to save them

Our backtest shows how an autonomous early warning system could’ve reduced deaths by 35–45%

I build AI systems that scale with progress not break from it Voice agents, RAG pipelines, lead gen, legal + real estate AI Modular Low-cost. High-leverage. No vendor lock-in https://t.co/ix0sYY71xR #AI #MachineLearning #Innovation #AgenticAI #RAG #Automation #DeepLearning

[Thomas Harding @ThomasHardingHQ]

I built a fully autonomous AI crisis team that monitors real-time flooding, power grid strain, weather, and traffic.

All free and open source.
Runs entirely on a single laptop.

Help us build the solution

We’re livestreaming the development of Project Star Forge, an AI system designed to predict and prevent disasters like the Texas floods.

Every dollar goes to feed first responders and support relief efforts #texasfloods #noaa https://t.co/qFTZ7kg1Nk

[Thomas Harding @ThomasHardingHQ]

My paper “Project Star Forge” has been accepted to the ACM Collective Intelligence 2025 Conference.

It’ll be presented in the Demos & Posters track this August in La Jolla, CA.

No idea how I’ll actually get there — but one step at a time.

Project Star Forge is now on OSF:

A speculative foresight engine for long-range systems design, synthetic futures, and agent modelling.
Built to frame what doesn’t yet exist.
