If it takes talent + compute to win in AI...
It's starting to look like
- OpenAI is betting the marginal dollar on compute (Anthropic is playing catchup)
- Anthropic is betting the marginal dollar on talent (OpenAI is playing catchup)
It will be very interesting to see which strategy pays off.

@AhmedAlNeaimy @OpenAIDevs @sama @thsottiaux Out of curiosity what are the complexity of tasks you’re carrying out, because I have a 5x GPT pro subscription and I’m having no issues with usage
English
Guys @OpenAIDevs @sama @thsottiaux
i can confirm Codex is eating the usage limits so fast, there is something wrong with all my 4 Pro 20x accounts!
I even didn't use them heavily cuz i was in a travel, back to work yesterday and today and runs out the entire week limits.
English
@laurensnys Probably prepping the compute for GPT 5.6 which will drop soon
English
Just me or are codex limits lower than 1-2 weeks ago?
Going through them way faster it feels like.

now i understand why anthropic sides with america in the AI race

Anthropic's loss is OpenAI's gain... for now. But don't be fooled. This is not a sustainable process.
Eventually, they will face the same problem as Anthropic, especially if their models are as large as empirical research shows (GPT-5.5 being ~9.7T params).
Prepare yourself for token scarcity.

Don't just reset Codex rate limits for fun, it costs money. Don't just reset Codex rate limits for fun, it costs money. ... but the vibes are good ... I have reset Codex rate limits for ALL paid plans to celebrate a good week and allow everyone to build more with GPT-5.5. Enjoy

@GregKamradt They use it better than any of us, so they’ll have the best ideas on how to set it up in that way. Don’t think they use a particular framework either
English
When OAI employees say, “I let codex run all night…”
What framework they use?
How do you set up the task so it has enough work for 8 hours?

@scaling01 They have indicated in the blog post that anthropic scores are higher because there's evidence of memorization. So it's likely SOTA on swe-bench-pro as well.
English
@thsottiaux Compacting context after u exceed the limit strangely takes a significant chunk of my rate limit. Also, in computer use, when you have multiple browser windows open, it can sometimes hallucinate and choose the last clicked browser instead of the one right beside it

Guys I think it’s a little early for the villain monologue
Palantir@PalantirTech
Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

@prairiecentrist Has this guy forgotten how well Canada faired during the 2008 financial crisis, because Harper had the good sense to hire Carney as governor of the BoC? Or is it just a massive blind spot?

few cents on anthropic and openai launches today (and from quite sometime).
i am almost convinced that anthropic has figured out the game. essentially they are leveraging consistent distribution + public perception + effective marketing and narrative compounding. (irrespective of kind of launch, you can track this from months)
and openai has been surprising me with this from long time. they are coming up with more exciting stuffs (see computer use launch today) but aren't consistent. they come up with (extra) news and lores which makes it distributed.
we have been carrying lot of hopes from anthropic to see something big EVERY day and it has been rewarding for them.

Excited to announce the first major product I’ve worked on at @OpenAI : Computer Use in Codex!
Our team has been hard at work bringing this magical experience to you over the last couple of weeks
Let us know how you use Computer Use!
Some of my favorite details 👇
OpenAI@OpenAI
Codex for (almost) everything. It can now use apps on your Mac, connect to more of your tools, create images, learn from previous actions, remember how you like to work, and take on ongoing and repeatable tasks.
English
@ShepherdessAnne @sama Ngl this one is different, especially as someone who’s been using Claude’s ecosystem a lot
English
@sama What type of bait is this? Honestly, of course you should so you can see what the products are actually doing and stop being surprised when people are upset and churn.
English
I am happy everyone is switching to Codex, but Tibo if you start rate limiting me or making me use worse models...
Tibo@thsottiaux
Codex Compute efficient ✅ Always up, never down ✅ Best at hardcore engineering ✅ Crazy good app, first to escape the terminal ✅

@LLCOOLJARED1 @I_amMukhtar Basically addressed all her concerns and clarified anything stemming from misinformation

@I_amMukhtar Could you post the clip with his response please? I'd be curious to know what he said after that.

crazy results
In digital logic, you know that a single NAND gate can build any Boolean circuit.
AND, OR, NOT, XOR... all reducible to NAND. Nobody had found the equivalent for continuous math, the stuff on scientific calculators: sin, cos, log, exp, sqrt, etc.
This paper shows that one binary operator does it:
for example eml(1, eml(eml(1,x), 1)) = ln(x) and eml(x, 1) = exp(x) - ln(1) = exp(x) - 0 = exp(x)
once you get ln(x) and exp(x), you can get anything from using same operator again and again

@gabriberton Very interesting take, as soon as u incentivize hacking and penetration testing to the extent that hyper skilled criminals do, we’ll see a lot more software vulnerabilities than we’d expect even without models like Mythos
English
Super interesting take from one of the greatest hackers
He says Mythos is not as good as they claim, because zero-day vulnerabilities are not that hard to find for skilled hackers
I'm far from the hacking world but sounds reasonable
Any thought?
