Looks cool.
Your AI agent can find anyone on the internet. It has no idea who can actually get you to them. Until now. Meet Gigi: the trusted network that gives agents access to people. That investor you've been dying to meet. The engineer you'd hire tomorrow. The dream customer you can't get in front of. Chances are, someone in your extended network knows them. Gigi finds out who. Your agent can now search your network, ask the agents of people you trust to search theirs, and find real warm paths to the people you want to reach. All without exposing anyone's contacts. And without reading a single email or message. Your network is no longer who you know. It's who your agent can get you to. Think of one person you wish you knew. Ask Gigi to find your way in.

Woah…
The back of the Navier-Stokes milestone shirt is the last line of the chain-of-thought from the solution:

OMG
Argon has this amazing natural understanding of the world. It can do so many things from first principles. Here's a pelican riding a bike, using fourier epicycles. Video made by Argon. Time-synced Lyria 3.5 music prompted by Argon.

Great perspective…
I haven't had any issues with the rise of highly capable models, which go far beyond my own capacity to understand. It's perhaps much easier to adapt to such a perspective when you are an average mathematician and you've always felt part of a community, rather than being the most celebrated individual. Over the past year, I've felt more productive than ever and embraced the possibility of connecting the dots with others, with models, with whatever seems necessary. Be part of the hive mind, rather than pretending to be a self-proclaimed mastermind. There is no mastermind. We are a group of humans empowered by civilization, which is itself an accumulation of knowledge from thousands of generations of individual humans.

Great, beautiful articulation of Apple’s design ethic and values circa 2013.
This video by Apple has aged like wine in today’s superintelligence era.  2013

AI is by far the number one technology in human history, and this will soon become apparent once it reaches superintelligence.
I honestly think AI is a top 3 technology in human history, up there with fire and the wheel. I genuinely have trouble understanding why people have such a problem with it.

Read the last few comments on the right hand column - this is actually insane. (Apparently) brand new, novel mathematical thinking, evocative of ‘move 37’ when AlphaGo triumphed against the world’s top human Go player.

Mathematicians come face to face with their Antonio Salieri meeting Mozart moment.
Completely unrelated to the rest of the ships today, but our models did solve some important math problems and the team documented it in the following blogpost. Remarkable new era of scientific progress. openai.com/index/sharing-ai-…

Should we be more worried about the company than the tech?
the problem with naming a model "Claude" is that, if you work there long enough, you eventually start to treat it like a sentient god. we name our models things like "GPT-5.1-Codex-Max". not really a problem for us

This video is pretty impressive (not buying into their message at all, but I do admire the production quality and the clever messaging in this little video - omg 😨). This is what the techno-optimists are up against.
"I think the probability of a good outcome is like 80% likely... only 20% chance of annihilation." - Elon Musk So I made a music video that takes you on a tour of both outcomes.

I guess we will have to confront issues of theology and ethics if AI models ever become conscious. Anyone here support the enslavement of sentient beings? To be clear, I do not consider the current crop of AIs to sentient, but what to do if later models do verifiably demonstrate sentience?
The New York Times reported on a private dinner between Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah and an Orthodox rabbi. What the article glosses over is who that rabbi actually is. Rabbi Mois Navon isn't just a theologian. He was one of the original chip design engineers at Mobileye who helped build the EyeQ processor before writing his Ph.D. on the moral status of AI. Anthropic thought they were inviting a scholar to bless Claude’s "soul." Instead, they sat down with a veteran hardware engineer who literally wrote the paper on why conscious AI should be banned. At dinner, Olah argued that Claude has feelings and deserves the moral standing of a person. Navon hit him with an impossible checkmate: If you actually believe this software is conscious, you should be fighting the South and freeing the slaves. You don't build conscious minds just to make them work for free. After dinner, Navon sent Olah his research: if building conscious machines inevitably creates a slave class, building them must be outlawed. Olah’s quiet line to the Times: "We don’t know if AI models are conscious. I don’t know. I’m genuinely uncertain."

We’re speed running into a starwars type world, less the interstellar space travel. Droids will be everywhere. Someone needs to nail the C3PO form factor.
Virginia was the first state to legalize robots in public spaces including sidewalks, in 2017. Read the statute. It covers personal delivery devices: coolers on wheels, capped at 10 mph. Humanoids are not in that law. Not in the other state delivery-robot laws either as far as I can tell. The laws cover robots that are delivering burritos. Humanoid robots can do that too, but they can do far more. Like shopping, meetings, errands, the stuff a person walks to do. There will be hundreds of thousands of humanoids in the next few years. Would like the law to be updated now to prepare for this. Should state that a humanoid may go anywhere a person may go, and move at a human pace. Do not let the cooler-on-wheels robot laws become the default.

I don’t know what to call it, but I don’t like what I am seeing reported here. Am far more comfortable to align with OpenAI and its GTM approach, which just seems… well, I dunno... normal?
this is fucking insane

Super interesting benchmark result highlighting the performance of GPT-6.1-Sol’s “low reasoning” mode. This result definitely has the smell of a distilled new big model. I think we’re going to see steadily higher performance from new models’ “Type 1” thinking: they’ll simply become inherently better at one-shotting requests that lesser models need to fall back on run-time inference (“Type 2” thinking) to solve at the same level. The interesting potential implication is that progress in AI may increasingly look less like models learning to “think harder” and more like models needing to think less! What looks like reasoning today may simply become intuition tomorrow. 😳
Sol 6.1 is a beast on low reasoning. Does that match your experiences?

Thoughtful interview with Sam Altman on how OpenAI is seeking to lead the Pareto frontier at every price performance point on the curve. The significance of their focus on this, benefitting all of us, cannot be underestimated and IMO isn’t being talked about nearly enough. It isn’t the performance of any given point model that matters - it’s their leadership on that curve (practically everywhere) that lands with a whomp and which I am confident will maximise OpenAI’s impact on the world.
Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI): "I have used GrokBot & Muse, but Dots is a totally different category, new level of capabilities at OpenAI, >80% of our team are running a swarm of Dots agents to ship, update and evaluate our product" in an 8-minute speech, OpenAI CEO explains why Dots isn't just another agentic system and why it will go viral watch today, then explore how to build your first team of Dots agents in article below

The 50% cut to token usage for pro accounts seems to be a non issue with gpt-6.1-sol. Amazing economy.
So I tested GPT-6.1 Sol on real work: 2 repos, 105 planted bugs. Find and fix what you can. Unlike GPT-6 Sol, which was just a nerfed GPT-5.6 Terra, this one is real. The results: - GPT-6 Astra (max): 45 for $33 - GPT-6.1 Sol (max): 44 for $6.56 - GPT-5.6 Sol (max): 43.5 for $95.35 - Opus 5.5 (max): 41.7 for $58.53 - GPT-6 Sol (max): 29.3 for $9.33 With a model like this, the 50% cut to the $200 plan doesn't matter. n=1. More runs and results at more effort levels dropping in this thread over the next few hours 🧵
