Introducing @huggingface/kernels: 200+ WebGPU Kernels for Local AI

Publisher preview

Today, we are releasing the first layer of that effort: @huggingface/kernels, a minimal library for loading and running optimized WebGPU kernels from the Hugging Face Hub, together with an initial collection of 207 kernels at huggingface.co/webgpu-kernels. The collection covers operations used across a wide variety of machine learning architectures and workloads. More importantly, each kernel is published as a complete, versioned package: its interface, shader templates, correctness cases, benchmark cases, and usage instructions all live together on the Hub. We are also launching Fleet, an in-browser GPU benchmarking and testing…

MIT Quantum Initiative launches postdoctoral fellowship program

Publisher preview

The MIT Quantum Initiative (QMIT) has launched a new postdoctoral fellowship program to accelerate interdisciplinary quantum research and develop the next generation of scientific leaders working at the frontiers of quantum science and technology. Supported by a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the program reflects QMIT’s vision of expanding the boundaries of quantum science by encouraging researchers to connect quantum approaches with other disciplines and emerging applications. As opportunities in quantum research expand, investing in outstanding early-career researchers has never been more important. These fellowships are designed…

Polimill builds Japan's next-generation public AI infrastructure

Publisher preview

Polimill built QommonsAI with OpenAI technology to support about 1,050 municipalities and evolve into a next-generation public OS. Polimill began with Surfvote, a platform where citizens can exchange views about politics and society. As the company worked with local governments, it saw a structural challenge: public-sector teams were consumed by daily operations and had little time to reflect citizens' voices in policy. To expand civic participation, Polimill first needed to make government work itself more efficient. The company started building a generative AI platform for public-sector workflows and released QommonsAI…

OpenAI supports California’s bill to advance youth AI safety

Publisher preview

OpenAI supports California Senate Bill 1119, legislation that establishes meaningful safeguards for how young people use AI while preserving their access to tools that can help them learn, create, and prepare for the future. This support builds off the commitment Sam Altman, OpenAI’s co-founder and CEO, made last year when outlining the company’s principles on teens. In the absence of federal action, California has an opportunity to set a strong standard for youth AI safety. In our letter to Governor Newsom⁠, we commend him, along with Senator Steve Padilla, Assemblymembers…

A milestone in expanding access to AI

Publisher preview

ChatGPT Ads reaches $1 billion in annualized revenue run rate and global expansion continues. In less than 200 days after launch, ChatGPT Ads has reached $1 billion in annualized revenue run rate. The platform is now used by tens of thousands of advertisers and continues to expand globally. Starting later today, advertisers can purchase ChatGPT ads directly via Ads Manager across India, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Advertising is one pillar of OpenAI’s diversified business model, alongside consumer subscriptions, enterprise offerings, and usage-based APIs. Together, these offerings give…

Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX

Publisher preview

Today, we notified SpaceX that we intend to wind down our contract providing OpenAI models to Cursor, with a proposed shutoff date of November 12, 2026. To maximize the time that developers can retain access to our models through Cursor, we are giving the maximum notice provided by our contract. This decision was incredibly tough, as we care deeply about our models being broadly available for developers. We are making this choice because we cannot be confident that SpaceX will use our technology within our terms of service, based on…

Looking beyond natural sequences

Publisher preview

A protein’s function is determined by its structure, and structure — the way a protein folds — is determined by its sequence of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Many methods for designing novel proteins, including examples that could bind to a disease-causing molecule in our cells, involve a two-step process: The structure comes first, and then a machine-learning framework generates a repertoire of sequences that could potentially adopt that structure. In nature, many different amino acid sequences can fold into the same structure. At the same time, one…

Better answers, broader thinking: What students gain from ChatGPT and critical-thinking training

Publisher preview

In a randomized experiment with more than 1,000 students, access to ChatGPT and training in causal reasoning improved student work in complementary ways. What happens when students use ChatGPT on a real-world assignment? Do quality improvements come at the expense of originality? A new experiment from researchers at Bocconi University, in collaboration with OpenAI Economic Research, found distinct and complementary effects from ChatGPT access and critical-thinking training. Access to ChatGPT improved the quality and coherence of students’ work, while an exercise in causal reasoning—a form of critical thinking—led students to…
