We often get asked how people who are not technical can contribute to AGI. One area is research recruiting. Tifa (@tifafafafa) is looking for exceptional recruiters from non-traditional backgrounds, former founders especially. We believe the best research teams are built through context, taste and a real feel for where the field is headed next; research recruiting is about finding people who will move the frontier forward, not just filling roles. Should be an interesting thing!
Peter Steinberger is joining OpenAI to drive the next generation of personal agents. He is a genius with a lot of amazing ideas about the future of very smart agents interacting with each other to do very useful things for people. We expect this will quickly become core to our product offerings. OpenClaw will live in a foundation as an open source project that OpenAI will continue to support. The future is going to be extremely multi-agent and it's important to us to support open source as part of that.
More than 1 million people downloaded Codex App in the first week. 60+% growth in overall Codex user last week! We'll keep Codex available to Free/Go users after this promotion; we may have to reduce limits there but we want everyone to be able to try Codex and start building.
Proud of the team for getting Pantheon and The Singularity is Near in the same Super Bowl ad
I love building with this model; it feels like more of a step forward than the benchmarks suggest. Also you can choose "pragmatic" or "friendly" for its personality; people have strong preferences one way or the other!
First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed. But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it. More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.) Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions. Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be. We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare. One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path. As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything. We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win. We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users. This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.
GPT-5.2 is here! Available today in ChatGPT and the API. It is the smartest generally-available model in the world, and in particular is good at doing real-world knowledge work tasks.
Great meeting with PM @narendramodi today to talk about the incredible energy around AI in India. India is our fastest growing market for codex globally, up 4x in weekly users in the past 2 weeks alone. 🇮🇳!
We have a special thing launching to Codex users on the Pro plan later today. It sparks joy for me. I think you are going to love it...
GPT-5.3-Codex is rolling out today in Cursor, Github, and VS Code!

Big drop for Codex users later today! You can just build things.
I am extremely excited to welcome @dylanscand to OpenAI as our Head of Preparedness. Things are about to move quite fast and we will be working with extremely powerful models soon. This will require commensurate safeguards to ensure we can continue to deliver tremendous
GPT-5.1 is now available in the API. Pricing is the same as GPT-5. We are also releasing gpt-5.1-codex and gpt-5.1-codex-mini in the API, specialized for long-running coding tasks. Prompt caching now lasts up to 24 hours! Updated evals in our blog post.
Codex weekly users have more than tripled since the beginning of the year!
We updated GPT-5.2 (the instant model) in ChatGPT today. Not a huge change, but hopefully you find it a little better.
.@SebastienBubeck is so so good; incredible researcher and leader.
The 5.3 lovefest is so nice to see. Don't think we've had so much excitement for a model since the original GPT-4.
Codex is now over 1 million active users!
We have a lot of exciting launches related to Codex coming over the next month, starting next week. We hope you will be delighted. We are going to reach the Cybersecurity High level on our preparedness framework soon. We have been getting ready for this. Cybersecurity is tricky and inherently dual-use; we believe the best thing for the world is for security issues to get patched quickly. We will start with product restrictions, like attempting to block people using our coding models to commit cybercrime (eg ‘hack into this bank and steal the money’). Long-term and as we can support it with evidence, we plan to move to defensive acceleration—helping people patch bugs—as the primary mitigation. It is very important the world adopts these tools quickly to make software more secure. There will be many very capable models in the world soon.
