You can now interrupt long-running queries and add new context without restarting or losing progress. This is especially useful for refining deep research or GPT-5 Pro queries as the model will adjust its response with your new requirements. Just hit update in the sidebar and type in any additional details or clarifications.

RT Sora Yes, this is the official Sora handle.

Happy Halloween from Sora and the monsters of Monster Manor. Created using characters, now available in the Sora app.

Turn on agent mode and ChatGPT can take action for you—research, plan, and get things done while you browse. Now in preview for Plus, Pro, and Business users.

RT Bill Peebles we are launching the ability to buy extra gens in sora today. we are doing this for two main reasons: first, we have been quite amazed by how much our power users want to use sora, and the economics are currently completely unsustainable. we thought 30 free gens/day would be more than enough, but clearly we were wrong! this will let our pro creators get as much usage as they want to pay for. second, this is a step towards a new sora economy. we imagine a world where rightsholders have the option to charge extra for cameos of beloved characters and people. we will soon pilot monetization, prioritizing people and companies who got onto the platform early. this will also be a way for a new generation of sora creators to make money. eventually we will need to bring the free gens down to accommodate growth (we won't have enough gpus to do it otherwise!), but we’ll be transparent as it happens. in the meantime, enjoy the crazy usage limits :)

Now in private beta: Aardvark, an agent that finds and fixes security bugs using GPT-5. https://openai.com/index/introducing-aardvark/

You can now get into the Sora app without an invite code in the US, Canada, Japan, and Korea. Limited time only.

RT Sam Altman Yesterday we did a livestream. TL;DR: We have set internal goals of having an automated AI research intern by September of 2026 running on hundreds of thousands of GPUs, and a true automated AI researcher by March of 2028. We may totally fail at this goal, but given the extraordinary potential impacts we think it is in the public interest to be transparent about this. We have a safety strategy that relies on 5 layers: Value alignment, Goal alignment, Reliability, Adversarial robustness, and System safety. Chain-of-thought faithfulness is a tool we are particularly excited about, but it somewhat fragile and requires drawing a boundary and a clear abstraction. On the product side, we are trying to move towards a true platform, where people and companies building on top of our offerings will capture most of the value. Today people can build on our API and apps in ChatGPT; eventually, we want to offer an AI cloud that enables huge businesses. We have currently committed to about 30 gigawatts of compute, with a total cost of ownership over the years of about $1.4 trillion. We are comfortable with this given what we see on the horizon for model capability growth and revenue growth. We would like to do more—we would like to build an AI factory that can make 1 gigawatt per week of new capacity, at a greatly reduced cost relative to today—but that will require more confidence in future models, revenue, and technological/financial innovation. Our new structure is much simpler than our old one. We have a non-profit called OpenAI Foundation that governs a Public Benefit Corporation called OpenAI Group. The foundation initially owns 26% of the PBC, but it can increase with warrants over time if the PBC does super well. The PBC can attract the resources needed to achieve the mission. Our mission, for both our non-profit and PBC, remains the same: to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. The nonprofit is initially committing $25...
