The Information reports that OpenAI is developing an AI coding agent to replicate work of Level 6 engineers, as part of CEO Sam Altman's goal to develop artificial general intelligence that outperforms humans at economically valuable work - According to three people who spoke to OpenAI leaders, the new AI coding assistant could connect to code repositories and handle complex tasks like code refactoring, data system migrations, and feature integration with personalization - Based on an OpenAI employee's statement, the company already uses an internal tool powered by their o1 reasoning model (released in September) to help AI researchers generate code for model experiments - Per people who heard Altman speak, OpenAI aims to grow from 300 million weekly active ChatGPT users to 1 billion daily active users by end of 2025, while increasing revenue from $4 billion in 2024 to $100 billion in 2029 - According to one of these people, OpenAI has been preparing to test an early version with select customers, and unlike ChatGPT's copy-paste approach, the assistant could send messages via Slack to notify humans about changes it wants to make to a code base
