Feeling a strong 5.6-ish vibe this morning

Also, memory on 5.5 instant is incredible. The most prescient nuanced rehashing of concepts previously discussed MONTHS ago. So delightful, it's downright uncanny. Love it 👏

LETS GOOOO WEDNESDAY 🚀🏗️🔥

OpenAI's usage pattern from CFO Sarah Friar's new interview.

"Our free users do about seven turns, or seven questions, a day. Our first paid tier does double that, about 15. Our real paid tier, Plus, which is $20, is about 3x, and Pro is about 11x over a free user."

Our mission at OpenAI is AGI for the benefit of humanity, not for the benefit of humanity who can pay, or for the benefit of humanity who live in an enterprise"

a few months ago in an interview, someone asked me where we wanted to take the codex app. i answered with something along the lines of: we intend to make it the best app ever built for desktop, full stop.

it probably felt like a little much, but i meant it. and it feels less potentially hyperbolic now than it did then.

Codex is the best way to build software. it is now the best way to do many other things too. we will lean into both, and much of it will mean we blend a lot with ChatGPT. we will do this only when we can deliver something incredible and better than what the two separate current things can deliver alone.

we will also combine the best parts of cloud and local environments (and yes, windows+linux). and the best of instant responses and long-running objectives, like /goal. we will do so with Taste™

outside of the incredible gpt models, 3 things have made the Codex app what it is:
- an opinionated view of how agents should work with a high quality bar
- a tight and honest dogfooding loop
- you

those 3 things will continue to be P0.
LFG.

The weird thing about being an AI-native founder is that you’re effectively managing a company of one human and twenty synthetic coworkers.

Some days it feels like leverage.

Some days it feels like a psychiatric case study. 😂🏗️

I ❤️ Codex
