It is very nice to see Codex getting so much love. We are launching a $100 ChatGPT Pro tier by very popular demand.

Alzheimer’s is one of medicine's hardest unsolved problems, and one of the most devastating. At the OpenAI Foundation, we believe AI is well suited to its complexity. We're directing over $100M to scientists mapping the disease, designing drugs, & more. I wrote about it here:

Proud to have been part of this. We outline policy ideas for the transition to superintelligence, to build an open economy where everyone benefits and a society that is resilient to the risks. Progress is fast, and we must navigate these issues urgently.

TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI! The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday. This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious

TBPN is my favorite tech show. We want them to keep that going and for them to do what they do so well. I don't expect them to go any easier on us, am sure I'll do my part to help enable that with occasional stupid decisions.

I would like a single word for this phrase: "throw it into the maw with every bit of context I can think of".

GPT-5.4 Pro continues to be the only model of its class. For anything really hard & complex, I throw it into the maw with every bit of context I can think of. More often than not, something very useful comes out. I can't get the same results from Codex or Code or anything else.

AI will help discover new science, such as cures for diseases, which is perhaps the most important way to increase quality of life long-term. AI will also present new threats to society that we have to address. No company can sufficiently mitigate these on their own; we will

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

It is also very smart, but...I generally agree with this, and really feel it myself on the 5.3 -> 5.4 upgrade.

GPT 5.4 is very good, but its most distinguishing characteristic is its humanity. 5.3 Codex was already incredible at coding so it's interesting to see what made it so much more successful. People claim they want a 10x autist savant coder, but what they want is personality.

gpt-5.4 has ramped faster than any other model we've launched in the API: within a week of launch, 5T tokens per day, handling more volume than our entire API one year ago, and reaching an annualized run rate of $1B in net-new revenue. it's a good model, try it out!

32× efficiency improvement in just the last 3 months, that’s the crazy jump from GPT-5.2 to GPT-5.4! 37 cents/task is essentially almost at human-level efficiency (target was 24 cents/task). This was inconceivable a year ago when o3 cost $4500/task on ARC-AGI-1, 12,000x improved!

GPT-5.4 (High) has now cleared 90% on this benchmark at a cost of just $0.37/task So that's a 32x efficiency improvement in the last three months, or 12000x since December 2024
