I did this. Fuck what anyone else says, just put the pedal to the metal and BUILD. Push spaghetti code. Nobody cares about OOPs. Doesn’t matter what anyone thinks. Just keep on doing. Document in public. Don’t listen to the haters. Release more than you refactor. Just keep pushing. Nobody cares, nobody notices, that’s the key, just fucking PUSH. That’s the way out, that’s what works, 100% times.

We’ve updated the Model Spec, our public description of how we want our models to behave. This revision makes clearer what we want from models as they take on more autonomous work in the world and become capable of helping us in new ways. 🧵 openai.com/index/updated-mod…

To clarify: If you’re already on Pro 200, you’re keeping your current Work + Codex limits. No cuts.
2x usage limits for Pro 100/200/500 + Business Premium, starting today! Pro 200 limits won’t be reduced. dots keep their extended limits too, with usage counted separately. more room to build 🫡

Day 25/ We are doubling all usage limits for all Pro 100/200/500 tiers and Business Premium, effective today. We heard your kind feedback and won’t be reducing usage limits for Pro 200, so your Work and Codex usage will stay the same. We’re also going to continue offering extended limits for dots for now, and usage of your dot will still continue to be separate from your default usage. And we'll of course also keep shipping better models and other efficiency improvements that increase your effective usage over time.

Big FYI: DO NOT change models unless you really know what you’re doing, the prompts for these models are carefully calibrated for the defaults.
Codex's Dreaming V3 memory system uses GPT-5.6 Luna and Terra by default. Upgrade by copying the following into config.toml: extract_model = "gpt-6-luna" consolidation_model = "gpt-6.1-terra" Both models are more intelligent AND cheaper than their predecessors. It's better than a free lunch. It's like getting paid to eat lunch.

humans yearn to be known and feel seen. imo, meeting that need is a big part of aligning a team, or even a society.

ETH is false. Still wrapping my head around this one. We’ve spent decades trying to understand the limits of computation. Seeing AI challenge some of those fundamental assumptions is pretty wild! github.com/openai/math/blob/…

I got into the @OpenAI Codex Ambassador program early in February just when it started. Had a couple of office hours with @reach_vb, but finally had the chance to meet him in person and hang out. Total GOAT.

GPT-6.1 Terra is here!! 🚀 build faster, more affordable agents that can reason over images and use computers. +15 points vs 5.6 Terra on Agents’ Last Exam at roughly 1/3 the cost. API pricing: $1/M input, $0.05/M cached, $5/M output. Rolling out across paid plans in ChatGPT & Codex ✨
