My first launch at OpenAI!! ChatGPT Voice for free users and plus users who hit limits should be better at Instruction Following, tool usage(search).

@scaling01 Why do people never use x-high, very curious on what that result would look like.

ARC-AGI-3 scores for GPT-5.4, Gemini 3.1 Pro and Opus 4.6 Gemini 3.1 Pro: 0.37% GPT-5.4: 0.26% Opus 4.6: 0.25% Grok 4.2: 0%

The way @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI account for revenue / ARR is apples to oranges. Should Anthropic treat their revenue from AWS and other hyperscalers the same as OAI, they would be a materially lower in rev… If they both IPO in the coming quarters, not sure how the SEC is going to let these two companies have different accounting treatment for essentially the same type of revenue. OpenAI TAKES OUT the 80% revenue share that goes to @Microsoft Azure and others so reports this 3rd party revenue on a NET basis in their total revenue. Anthropic INCLUDES the revenue share that goes to @amazon AWS and others in their revenue so reports this 3rd party revenue on a GROSS basis in their total revenue. IMO, OpenAI taking more conservative approach that reflects the reality of the economics of these hyperscaler partnerships.

Had to go check Slack in the afternoon today after seeing a bunch of news here, might as well Tweet next time. Sad about Sora, it’s actually a very capable model but love we are focusing.

Next up, enable an API for this which can be used by agents and boom!!!

@BarrAlexandra Search for Wavy on Slack:)

i’ve gotten to the point where I genuinely need voice-to-codex because it takes me more time to write my prompt than it takes for codex to generate my solution 😵‍💫

Is this just computer use with custom hardware or am I missing something?

If you want AI Code Review, but don't want to pay $25 per review (not a typo), check out Codex Review! It leverages frontier Codex models, finds complex issues, and 100% usage based. Most runs should cost ~$1 or less developers.openai.com/codex/integrat…

@beffjezos @tszzl good idea. shared the feedback internally!

@tszzl Can you give more font options for ChatGPT

have to say claude is “tasteful” in a “high reddit modernist” way and new gpt is “tasteful” in a “early twitter schizophrenic” kind of way

Forget about benchmarks, building the ability to train models from scratch and serving them is the real win here. This is the worst it’ll ever be, congrats to the @SarvamAI team!

My first interaction with GPT 5.4 👀

@jonchu @AnthropicAI @DarioAmodei Which is what I meant btw. Labeling SCR randomly is a bad move.

@vthallam @AnthropicAI @DarioAmodei I think we shouldn't be setting any precedents here at all

We always root for the idealistic and naive hero in movies. The ones who will fall on their sword for honor. And if the world were a place where they win more often, maybe it'd be a better place. For that alone, I am still an @AnthropicAI and @DarioAmodei supporter and am long. We all lose with Ant as a supply chain risk.

It's a good model!!

@danprimack Wow. But not very shocked.

As I wrote yesterday: "Amodei's blog post is said to have infuriated Defense Dept officials, who believed he was trying to virtue signal to: (a) Anthropic employees upset about the Venezuela revelations, and (b) AI engineers at rival companies who might share similar concerns." axios.com/2026/03/02/ant…

@signulll I paid $1K a night last year at the same hotel last year lol. Crazy deal.

be greedy when others are fearful.

@tylerangert @AnthropicAI Or just hit send:) so you don't have to leave the app!!

Can someone at @AnthropicAI please fucking fix your voice transcription in the Claude mobile app. It’s horrific. I literally go to chatgpt just to transcribe what I’m saying then copy and paste it back in. My 2nd fallback is the native Apple keyboard voice recognition. For the love of god there are enough quality OSS STT models why can’t this work

5.4 sooner than you Think.

Here is re-post of an internal post: We have been working with the DoW to make some additions in our agreement to make our principles very clear. 1. We are going to amend our deal to add this language, in addition to everything else: "• Consistent with applicable laws, including the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, National Security Act of 1947, FISA Act of 1978, the AI system shall not be intentionally used for domestic surveillance of U.S. persons and nationals. • For the avoidance of doubt, the Department understands this limitation to prohibit deliberate tracking, surveillance, or monitoring of U.S. persons or nationals, including through the procurement or use of commercially acquired personal or identifiable information." It’s critical to protect the civil liberties of Americans, and there was so much focus on this, that we wanted to make this point especially clear, including around commercially acquired information. Just like everything we do with iterative deployment, we will continue to learn and refine as we go. I think this is an important change; our team and the DoW team did a great job working on it. 2. The Department also affirmed that our services will not be used by Department of War intelligence agencies (for example, the NSA). Any services to those agencies would require a follow-on modification to our contract. 3. For extreme clarity: we want to work through democratic processes. It should be the government making the key decisions about society. We want to have a voice, and a seat at the table where we can share our expertise, and to fight for principles of liberty. But we are clear on how the system works (because a lot of people have asked, if I received what I believed was an unconstitutional order, of course I would rather go to jail than follow it). But 4. There are many things the technology just isn’t ready for, and many areas we don’t yet understand the tradeoffs required for safety. We will work through these, slowly, with the DoW, with technical safeguards and other methods. 5. One thing I think I did wrong: we shouldn't have rushed to get this out on Friday. The issues are super complex, and demand clear communication. We were genuinely trying to de-escalate things and avoid a much worse outcome, but I think it just looked opportunistic and sloppy. Good learning experience for me as we face higher-stakes decisions in the future. In my conversations over the weekend, I reiterated that Anthropic should not be designated as a SCR, and that we hope the DoW offers them the same terms we’ve agreed to. We will host an All Hands tomorrow morning to answer more questions.

Leaving the actual answer aside, you can see which AI's are good at Instruction Following.
