our older kid put two words together for the first time and i am approximately as amazed by this cognitive feat as i am by GPT-5.6 discovering new math

grateful to the people that created the idea of america, everyone who built it over the past 250 years, and the people who will carry it forward for the next 250. most impressive social experiment in history.

The OpenAI Foundation is joining Intercept as a founding partner through our AI resilience program. As AI accelerates advances in biology and medicine, we also need to prepare for the risks of misuse, including the potential for engineered outbreaks. Intercept Health Fund is working to end respiratory pandemics through a pathogen-agnostic approach, investing in broad-spectrum preventatives and non-pharmaceutical interventions that can protect against a wide range of threats and strengthen a new layer of resilience for humanity. blog.interceptfund.com/p/end…

Ending respiratory infections

Introducing Intercept, a $500M bet to make respiratory infections like colds and flu a thing of the past.

We’ve designed and built our first AI chip: Jalapeño. Designed from the ground up by OpenAI and brought to production with @Broadcom, Jalapeño is purpose-built for the LLM workloads powering ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic products. Chips are foundational to the AI economy. Building our own expands our full-stack platform from products to models to infrastructure, and will help us scale intelligence, serve more people, and expand access to AI.

Good new first: Sol is a smart, efficient, and a significant step forward. It is the same price as GPT-5.5. Also launching in the GPT-5.6 family is Terra, with 5.5-level performance at half the price. Bad news: at the request of the US government, it is launching today in limited preview instead of the open access launch we were planning on. We are working with the government to get to general availability as fast as we can. I think it is quite reasonable to roll out models--especially as they reach significant new levels of capability--in this way. It fits with our long-held strategy of iterative deployment. But this isn't quite the process that we think is optimal. Now we will with the government to attempt to get to a transparent, reliable process for early access, and to ensure that as long as our safeguards work as intended we can release widely. We want to be a reliable, dependable partner that works with all stakeholders, and we also want to live by our mission of benefiting all of humanity. I believe the government shares most of our goals, and that they are overall doing a good job in a very difficult situation. We will work as quickly as we can to get this model in your hands and we hope you will love it.

We want to help all companies be secure, working with the USG and the security ecosystem. *The full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber is here; state of the art performance on CyberGym. *Patch The Planet and Codex Security will help solve security problems instead of just finding them.

One of the ways scaling test-time compute can benefit people most: have reasoning models think really hard about rare undiagnosed diseases. Today we’re sharing published evidence that this can work, in some of the most difficult pediatric cases!

Together with researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard, we published a study in NEJM AI showing how o3 Deep Research helped clinicians revisit previously unsolved rare pediatric disease cases, and find answers for families who had waited years.

We offer no explanation as to why Noams are so good at AI; we attribute their success, as all else, to divine benevolence.

I have a new kind of big button that I can press for Codex. Over the next 100 days, we will select one person per day who does impressive or incredibly useful work with Codex and give them 10X usage limits for a month to see what they can do with it. First one tomorrow.
