Paving the way for greener ammonia production

Publisher preview

Ammonia is one of the most important chemicals produced in the world, ranking second only to sulfuric acid in the total volume produced each year. It is used mostly to make fertilizer, which is essential to feeding the world’s population. Yet its production accounts for up to 2 percent of the world’s energy consumption and about 1.5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, so the search has been underway for ways to produce ammonia more sustainably. The traditional way of making ammonia, in use for more than a century and accounting…

Replit expands access to software creation with GPT-5.6 Luna

Publisher preview

Replit is introducing Free Mode, powered by GPT‑5.6 Luna, so anyone can turn ideas into working software without worrying about token costs. As models become more capable, their economics are changing just as quickly. Better price performance makes advanced intelligence practical across more products, more workflows, and more moments. For software creation, that shift is narrowing the distance between having an idea and building something that works. Replit⁠ and OpenAI have long shared a goal: making software creation accessible to anyone with an idea, regardless of technical background. Replit was…

Strengthening democratic oversight in national security

Publisher preview

OpenAI is launching a new initiative to help democratic oversight bodies develop the expertise and tools they need to understand and oversee government use of AI for national security. AI is changing how democratic governments protect their people. It can help stop cyberattacks, secure critical infrastructure, detect threats earlier, and give public servants a clearer picture in a crisis. Used well, these tools can strengthen national security. Democratic oversight helps ensure that uses of public power remain accountable to the people they serve. As AI makes national security work faster…

When AI art has no author: Study finds generated images often can’t be traced to training data

Publisher preview

When an artificial intelligence image generator produces a portrait, whose work went into it? The question sits at the center of lawsuits, licensing deals, and proposed regulations worldwide. Artists want credit. Companies want clarity. Policymakers want a way to assign responsibility. New work from a team of researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) suggests that for models trained on large datasets, the question may often have no answer. It's not that the tools for finding it are inadequate. The connection itself has disappeared. The scientists identified…

Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities

Publisher preview

Over the past several weeks, two developments have underscored the growing risks associated with increasingly capable AI systems: the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident and, separately, preliminary evidence that one of our upcoming models, Astra, may meet the Critical cybersecurity capability threshold under our Preparedness Framework. Together, these developments, combined with rapid progress in our internal research, have added urgency to our work on strengthening our monitoring, alignment, and containment safeguards across all stages of the training process. As models become more capable, the risks associated with developing and testing them internally…

Partnering with CodeAI to prepare the first AI generation

Publisher preview

Today’s students will be the first generation to grow up with AI as part of everyday life. For parents and educators, the question isn’t simply whether young people will use AI, but whether they will learn to critically evaluate its outputs, understand its limitations, and use it responsibly. Right now, there’s a gap between use and understanding. The vast majority of students today are already using AI, while only 16% of high school leaders say⁠ all of their students are learning the technical knowledge to understand it in the classroom.…

Asana completed a years-long code migration in 2 weeks with Codex

Publisher preview

Using OpenAI Codex, Asana replaced an outdated testing system in two weeks, with about $12K in model and infrastructure costs. Weeks to complete a migration projected to take ~5 more years at its prior pace In order to modernize its frontend stack, Asana needed to finish a long-running code migration that was still years from completion. At its prior pace—with only a few engineers working on the migration incrementally alongside other priorities—Asana projected that it would take roughly five more years to complete. With Codex, Asana completed the project in…
