Promptfoo will be joining OpenAI. We’re staying open source and we’re going to keep supporting customers and users. We built Promptfoo to help devs test and secure AI apps. The results have been phenomenal: 350k+ developers, 25%+ of the Fortune 500, 23 people, ~2 years. AI agents are eating the world, and joining OpenAI will supercharge our technology as we connect it deeply into the model and inference layers. We will be able to find & fix AI security issues in a way that no one else has done before. Grateful to our team, to a16z and Insight Partners, and to the community who helped turn this into something huge. You built this with us. Much more to come ❤️

We interviewed @sama — crazy stories that have never been told before > how sam crashed a Stanford professor's car > the first day of OpenAI in @gdb's apartment > "sam, are you happy?" > sam's day in the life > his time at Stanford before dropping out > what to build now
TreeHacks@hackwithtrees

We sat down with @sama for a fireside chat at TreeHacks 2026. We chatted about his time at Stanford, the early days of OpenAI, and the future! 0:00 Steam tunneling and freshman year at Stanford 2:03 Founding Loopt in soph year 4:16 YC changes everything 6:16 Dropping out of Stanford 8:16 How to raise 10:38 How OpenAI was born 15:18 How he met OpenAI co-founders 17:03 OpenAI's first day in @gdb's apartment 19:01 When moment when OpenAI started to work 20:33 Why GPT-2 was the turning point 22:07 AGI will be here in >2 years. 25:32 What should people build now? 29:57 How AI will impact politics, religion, and society 34:24 How do you compete with OpenAI? 36:40 Is OpenAI *really* burning cash dangerously fast? 37:46 Sam, are you happy? 40:23 What AI subfield today feels like OpenAI in 2016? 42:26 Custom silicon & hardware

It was an absolutely crazy journey organizing the 12th annual TreeHacks. Short read about how I made this year's PCB Badges 👇 toryn.bio/blog/pcb-badges

Came out of a 2 year long hackathon retirement to win 🏆 GRAND PRIZE at @hackwithtrees !!! In 36 hours, we: - Manufactured, designed, and built an entire 4-armed surgery robot (+ a 6am trip to Home Depot). - Wrote our own inverse kinematics control system. - Designed a custom algorithm to convert LIDAR data into 3d coordinates. - Built a multi-LLM robotic agent using @OpenAI's GPT-5.2 and @GoogleDeepMind's Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5. - Mapped real-time orientation data from a Meta Quest 3 onto a physical moving camera arm. - Created Nix flakes for reproducible builds on both our production and development environments. - Used dependent type theory in Lean to prove that trajectories are within safe physical bounds. And the best part is we came up with the idea during the Hackathon. Check out our project here: devpost.com/software/we-us…
