@sama

This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like.

Sam Altman

@sama

funny, they never sent me one of these for contributing to democrats...

Sam Altman

@sama

it's super fun seeing people love images in chatgpt. but our GPUs are melting. we are going to temporarily introduce some rate limits while we work on making it more efficient. hopefully won't be long! chatgpt free tier will get 3 generations per day soon.

@sama

watching @potus more carefully recently has really changed my perspective on him (i wish i had done more of my own thinking and definitely fell in the npc trap). i'm not going to agree with him on everything, but i think he will be incredible for the country in many ways!

Sam Altman

@sama

welcome to the world, little guy! he came early and is going to be in the nicu for awhile. he is doing well and it’s really nice to be in a little bubble taking care of him. i have never felt such love.

A tale in three acts:

@sama

goodbye, GPT-4. you kicked off a revolution. we will proudly keep your weights on a special hard drive to give to some historians in the future.

GPTs can save a lot of effort:

a year ago tonight we were probably just sitting around the office putting the finishing touches on chatgpt before the next morning’s launch. what a year it’s been…

@sama

Tim Cook is a legend. I am very thankful for everything he has done and I am very thankful for Apple.

@sama

muslim and arab (especially palestinian) colleagues in the tech community i've spoken with feel uncomfortable speaking about their recent experiences, often out of fear of retaliation and damaged career prospects. our industry should be united in our support of these colleagues; it is an atrocious time. i continue to hope for a real and lasting peace, and that in the meantime we can treat each other with empathy.

Sam Altman

@sama

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

@sama

what's happening with ai adoption in india right now is amazing to watch. we love to see the explosion of creativity--india is outpacing the world.

Sam Altman

@sama

a few times a year i wake up early and can't fall back asleep because we are launching a new feature ive been so excited about for so long. today is one of those days!

Sam Altman

@sama

great conversation with @narendramodi discussing india's incredible tech ecosystem and how the country can benefit from ai. really enjoyed all my meetings with people in the @PMOIndia.

Sam Altman

@sama

chatgpt plus is free for college students in the US and canada through may!

Sam Altman

@sama

insane thing: we are currently losing money on openai pro subscriptions! people use it much more than we expected.

Sam Altman

@sama

I think US college education is nearer to collapsing than it appears.

Sam Altman

@sama

we have greatly improved memory in chatgpt--it can now reference all your past conversations! this is a surprisingly great feature imo, and it points at something we are excited about: ai systems that get to know you over your life, and become extremely useful and personalized.

Sam Altman

@sama

next phase of the msft x oai partnership is gonna be much better than anyone is ready for!!

Sam Altman

@sama

no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want

Sam Altman

@sama

there are a lot of benchmarks that suggest 5.6 sol is the best model in the world right now, but the most reliable way to tell is that elon is obsessed with me again

Sam Altman

@sama

if i start going off, the openai board should go after me for the full value of my shares

Sam Altman

@sama

chatgpt image gen now rolled out to all free users!

Sam Altman

@sama

very happy to be partnering with apple to integrate chatgpt into their devices later this year! think you will really like it.

Sam Altman

@sama

Really excited to get Elon under oath in a few months, Christmas in April!

Sam Altman

@sama

gpt-oss is out! we made an open model that performs at the level of o4-mini and runs on a high-end laptop (WTF!!) (and a smaller one that runs on a phone). super proud of the team; big triumph of technology.

Sam Altman

@sama

GPT-6 will be renamed GPT-6-7, you're welcome

Sam Altman

@sama

today we are introducing codex. it is a software engineering agent that runs in the cloud and does tasks for you, like writing a new feature of fixing a bug. you can run many tasks in parallel.

Sam Altman

@sama

o3 and o4-mini are super good at coding, so we are releasing a new product, Codex CLI, to make them easier to use. this is a coding agent that runs on your computer. it is fully open source and available today; we expect it to rapidly improve.

Sam Altman

@sama

i never took the dead internet theory that seriously but it seems like there are really a lot of LLM-run twitter accounts now

Sam Altman

@sama

just one more mean tweet and then maybe you'll love yourself...

Sam Altman

@sama

i can't think of a non-cliche way to say this, but everyone who says having a kid is the best thing in the world is both correct and still somehow understating it.

Sam Altman

@sama

which one is supposed to be the left-wing propaganda machine again?

Sam Altman

@sama

My sister has filed a lawsuit against me. Here is a statement from my mom, brothers, and me:

Sam Altman

@sama

twitter hype is out of control again. we are not gonna deploy AGI next month, nor have we built it. we have some very cool stuff for you but pls chill and cut your expectations 100x!

Sam Altman

@sama

you can just do things

Sam Altman

@sama

i try not to think about competitors too much, but i cannot stop thinking about the aesthetic difference between openai and google

Sam Altman

@sama

Our new AI-first web browser, ChatGPT Atlas, is here for macOS. Please send feedback! Availability on other platforms to follow.

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed. But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it. More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.) Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions. Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be. We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare. One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path. As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything. We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win. We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users. This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night: connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests. every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.
