We've entered into an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Codex team. I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done so far, incredibly grateful to everyone that's supported us, and incredibly excited to keep building tools that make programming feel different.



GPT 5.4 is very good, but its most distinguishing characteristic is its humanity. 5.3 Codex was already incredible at coding so it's interesting to see what made it so much more successful. People claim they want a 10x autist savant coder, but what they want is personality.


gpt-5.4 has ramped faster than any other model we've launched in the API: within a week of launch, 5T tokens per day, handling more volume than our entire API one year ago, and reaching an annualized run rate of $1B in net-new revenue. it's a good model, try it out!


Building the industrial scale compute infrastructure for AI is one of the most exciting challenges of our time - it’s about building a new economic foundation that empowers people to do more and helps businesses move faster. Am thrilled to be a part of this revolution, thank you @business, @dinabass and @shiringhaffary on helping lay out our strategy to the world! At OpenAI we’re scaling compute to tens of gigawatts—rethinking and building resilient compute supply chains, AI datacenter, chip, rack, cluster & WAN design, scaling inference efficiency, and global delivery and operations of multi-GW scale AI infrastructure. If you want to help build the compute backbone for AI and have background in the above domains, please reach out. My DMs are open, please include information about your background and your fit.



We are investigating a possible solution by GPT-5.4 Pro to a problem from FrontierMath: Open Problems. My guess is that the solution is right, but we won’t be sure until the problem author weighs in. Thread with the story so far…











GPT 5.4 is a really special model. I think the tweet below is about coding, but IMO it also holds for general use (like explaining concepts or talking through issues). It’s tough to get the personality right - this model genuinely feels like talking to a smart friend.


Everyone is saying GPT-5.4 Pro is the smartest model, AGI-level intelligence, but do you have AGI-level questions to ask?

i’ve been using gpt 5.4 for the past few weeks. in a sea of endless model drops and benchmark maxxing, this model is the first in a long time to be worth your time to try. honestly didn’t expect openai to pull this off.

Jensen said TWO days ago Nvidia is expanding OpenAI capacity at AWS "like mad" We also know OpenAI Codex token use is exploding. Any narrative that says aggregate OpenAI compute needs are weakening seems suspect.
