Now in beta: composer predictions in Codex for Pro users.

Codex can now suggest your next message based on your conversation and how you talk to it.

One of the most loved new features we've ever tested internally.

“But we’ve never seen humanity with every single person’s agency fully switched on. Eight billion people who just need to write their dream down in order to get started making it happen.” Well said. Benefit all

Here’s to the wanting. Here’s to the dreaming. Here’s to everyone. https://t.co/FHcmqU3fYf

screenmirror + computer use is my new favorite combo to use codex. Just cleaned all my notification settings on my phone. Feels great!

Astra for Law: Frontier intelligence built for your practice.

A new offering powered by GPT-6 Astra with tools, settings, and context to support the expertise and judgment of lawyers and legal technology firms.

[Yangz @yangzOAI]

@bcherny so the answer is to treat it *mostly* as black box and let various guardrails protect and maintain your codebase? Otherwise I don’t see anyone can ship hundreds to thousands of PRs everyday

[Yangz @yangzOAI]

hm...🤔

[Parker Thayer @ParkerThayer]

This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion. Let me show you how it works:
1.) This guy, with minimal followers and no previous account activity, goes to the Wall Street Journal which publishes an exclusive with quotes from him on his resignation 18 minutes BEFORE this post goes up. Planning was clearly done in advance.

2.) Within hours, it has tens of thousands of reposts and the account has 100k+ followers. The post is punchy, quotable, it almost seems professionally written. The first three accounts to quote tweet it all do so within 15 minutes of the initial posting. Remember, this account had basically zero engagement beforehand, so an organic reach explanation seems unlikely.

According to Grok those accounts are @_NathanCalvin (General Counsel at Encode AI), @peterwildeford (Head of Policy at the AI Policy Network), and @DKokotajlo (Head of the AI Futures Project), all of which are up-and-coming AI-Doomer policy advocacy nonprofits.

The AI Futures Project website says it is funded “primarily” by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which says on its own website that it has advised Jaan Tallinn, Skype creator and one of the leading investors in Anthropic, to grant over $2.5 million to the AI Futures Project since 2024.

Encode AI says on its website that it is ALSO funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which in turn says that it told Anthropic investor Jaan Tallinn to grant $516,000 to Encode AI in 2025.

And wouldn’t you know it, the Survival and Flourishing Fund ALSO says it told Jaan Tallinn to grant $2 million to the AI Policy Institute, the 501(c)(3) affiliate of the AI Policy Network, as well.

What are the odds that the first three quote tweets of Coxon’s post would all be major AI-restriction policy advocates funded generously by the same donor, who also happens to be one of the leading investors in, and a board member of, Anthropic, the company Coxon was resigning from? And all within 15 minutes of posting (two within ten)?

3.) Jacob Coxon doesn’t have much of a resume, but we do know that, in 2022, he got a $20,159 scholarship for the “long term future scholarship program” from the Good Ventures Foundation, one of the philanthropic vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI-doomer who has spent tens if not hundreds of millions on policy advocacy to strictly regulate AI, while also being an Anthropic Investor himself.

It also just so happens that the 14th person to quote Coxon’s post was @MaxNadeau_ (27 minutes after posting) who is the program officer for the Technical AI Safety team at Coefficient Giving, another of Moskovitz’s philanthropic spending vehicles. Max is not a frequent poster, his last posts before quoting Coxon were before Labor Day, but he was remarkably quick off the mark for this one.

4.) Basically every major Democrat politician and candidate has suddenly glommed on to this post, and conveniently, as the people cry out foe answers, Bernie Sanders already has a bill written to “ban super intelligence” and regulate AI into oblivion, and will be releasing later this week. The bill, among many other things, will create “a new cabinet-level federal agency to safeguard the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence” that will be “advised by an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board comprised of experts on artificial intelligence.” Do you think, perhaps, Anthropic and its many investors who fund AI policy advocacy might have interest in getting to place a pet “expert” on the board of an entity that dictates what AI is and isn’t allowed to do? And isn’t it fortuitous that this whistleblower came forward with his oh-so scary stories so close in proximity to the release of the most radical piece of AI legislation ever introduced?

what a time to be alive

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.

The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.

The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

[Yangz @yangzOAI]

It's a good model

ChatGPT Images 2.5—faster, sharper, smarter, with better tools for creating whatever you can dream of.

- Faster image generation to keep your ideas flowing

- Improved fidelity for more natural, recognizable images

- Consistent details across multiple edits

- Comment-based edits to change only what you want

[Zuxin Liu @LiuZuxin]

Most ASI-pilled week yet.

Two years ago, high-school olympiad math felt impressive. A year ago, it was IMO gold. Today, we might actually need MillenniumBench.

What on earth happens next year?

[Boris Power @BorisMPower]

Huge implications - binaries are now basically editable code

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

@lydiahallie Wow, huge, wonder why!

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Astra was probably our biggest competitive advantage while it wasn’t generally available.

Since we’ve had it our productivity jumped so much that we shifted some of our plans 6 months ahead and will ship them at DevDay instead of mid next year.

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

Our best model yet: GPT-6 Astra.

– Build agents for complex long-running work.
– Solve engineering problems with less rework.
– Create well-designed functional interfaces.
– Take on harder questions with confidence.

GPT-6 Astra combines computer use, asynchronous tool calling, and mid-response steering to handle longer, more involved workflows.

crazy

[Victor E. Nunez @victornunez]

hey Astra, how fast are you really at using a computer?

[killian @hellokillian]

For the Astra inspired, the full "PUT THAT THERE" demo from 1979. Beautifully honored by @danielfradin and team.

The mother of all computer-use demos:

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Awesome to see GPT-6 Astra is #1 on Terminal Bench 4.0 using the Codex harness. At 50% of the cost of #2.

[Perplexity @perplexity_ai]

We evaluated GPT-6 Astra on WANDR. It scored 0.682 at $11.98 per task, the highest score of any model we tested.

GPT-6-Astra scored 13.5% higher than Fable 5.1 at 6.1% lower cost, and 27.0% higher than Opus 5 at 3.3% higher cost.

[Yangz @yangzOAI]

Classic tibo ☺️

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

We will give one banked reset for every day you don't have access to Astra on your paid ChatGPT plan, starting today. Team is moving mountains to give access as fast as we can.

First one will land in ~ 3 hours. There is still time to create your account if you don't have one.

[Yangz @yangzOAI]

If u ask me, this is AGI

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

This is GPT-6 Astra.

Anything you can do on a computer, Astra can do for you. Fast.
