New in The Atlantic: @dgrobinson resigned this week. He was among the longest-tenured employees at OpenAI—and oversaw safety reports on 12 frontier launches. He is very worried: “The time for trial and error is over.” You can read his essay here: theatlantic.com/technology/2…

openai used dots to build dots. the prototype was literally building the final product. 🤯 tibo's she his own use cases: → one dot monitors twitter and flags what he needs to know → one catches documentation issues and opens PRs on its own he just reviews and merges → dots are already sending each other PRs inside openai without him in the loop right now you get one dot. soon you'll recruit teams of dots one for marketing, one for monitoring, one for comms. each with a specific role. comes free with pro. runs 24/7. doesn't touch your usage. but free tier won't come anytime soon the compute is just too expensive.

Here's what's actually wild about what's happening inside openai right now. Tibo explained how gpt-6.1 sol was even possible they gave their smartest engineers astra, and those engineers started doing things previously considered almost impossible. They used astra to rethink the entire inference stack. that's how 6.1 sol is almost as intelligent as astra at a fifth of the price. "we push the frontier and then we make things more affordable and more broadly available." but it's not just models. ultra fast has changed how openai itself ships.

Openai genuinely cooked with the speed of execution 🤯 Tibo revealed that they finished 6 months of work in less than 30 days with a week to spare before the event. The task: chatgpt on web and desktop were running on two completely different codebases. two teams building the same features twice. They decided to merge everything into one, for a product serving over 100 million users where you can't afford to break anything. 500 people. 1,000 pull requests per day. all hitting the same codebase. He said they've had to completely rethink what's even possible. a year ago no one at openai would've believed this timeline.
