Disrupting a Cambodia-based criminal scam operation

Publisher preview

OpenAI disrupted a Cambodia-based scam operation using ChatGPT to support investment, romance, gambling, and impersonation schemes. Earlier this year, we disrupted a Cambodia-based scam operation that used ChatGPT to support investment, romance, gambling, and law enforcement impersonation schemes. We began investigating this activity following a lead from our peers at WhatsApp and have since shared additional threat signals with industry partners and relevant authorities. The operation illustrates an important reality about modern scam networks: organized criminal groups rarely restrict themselves to a single type of scam. Instead, they opportunistically employ…

Connecting research to policy on Capitol Hill

Publisher preview

This spring, 25 MIT students and postdocs traveled to Washington to meet with congressional staffers and advocate for sustained federal investment in scientific research. With recent cuts to National Science Foundation programs and continued uncertainty surrounding the federal research budget, these conversations were especially timely. Over the course of just two days, participants met with 62 congressional offices representing 32 states to discuss the importance of federal support for scientific research, higher education, and other policy concerns related to their individual research areas. Each spring, the MIT Science Policy Initiative…

Advancing the price-performance frontier with GPT-5.6

Publisher preview

By making every layer more efficient, OpenAI is delivering stronger performance per dollar across more enterprise workloads. Yesterday, we shared how GPT‑5.6⁠ helped make itself more efficient to run⁠. Today, we’re passing those gains on to customers with lower prices for GPT‑5.6 Luna⁠ and Terra⁠ and faster performance with GPT‑5.6 Sol⁠ in the API. Together, these updates help customers get more from every dollar they invest in AI and move faster when time matters. Starting today, GPT‑5.6 Luna, our fastest and most affordable model, will cost 80% less, while GPT‑5.6…

How avatarin built a 24/7 retail agent with GPT-Realtime

Publisher preview

With OpenAI’s GPT‑Realtime, avatarin scales Yamada Denki’s retail expertise through 24/7 multilingual shopping support. Japan’s home-appliance retailers face a persistent challenge: extending expert sales support beyond store hours while staffing remains tight. avatarin, an AI customer service company spun out of ANA Holdings, partnered with Yamada Holdings to turn experienced associates’ knowledge into a 24/7 multilingual shopping agent. Built on OpenAI’s GPT‑Realtime, the Kurashi-Marugoto AI Agent supports natural voice conversations and guides shoppers from product discovery to purchase decisions. In a two-week public campaign on Yamada Denki’s online store, approximately…

How enabling two settings tripled our scores on the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark

Publisher preview

A sped-up video of GPT‑5.6 Sol attempting to solve puzzles in the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark, with the official harness (left) and our Responses API harness (right), which retains reasoning and enables compaction. On the leaderboard for this game⁠, no frontier model solves any level beyond the first. With our harness, GPT‑5.6 Sol solves all six. When we first saw GPT‑5.6 Sol’s low scores on the ARC-AGI-3⁠ benchmark, we were puzzled. GPT‑5.6 Sol has solved longstanding open problems in mathematics like the cycle double cover conjecture⁠ and beaten games like Pokémon FireRed.…

How a medical database developed at MIT evolved into a global standard of data-sharing

Publisher preview

Before the advancement of scientific data storage and collaboration via the cloud, medical investigators seeking health research breakthroughs had to overcome significant obstacles to collaboration and key clinical data gathering. Data were siloed and difficult to distribute, so those looking to undertake research had no option but to gather them themselves. This not only made research more expensive, but it was challenging to compare findings across datasets. In 1975, researchers studying arrhythmias at MIT and Boston’s Beth Israel Hospital envisioned another way: the team began collecting and digitizing electrocardiogram recordings…

Scientific computing in the age of agentic AI

Publisher preview

A field report shows how scientists are using coding agents to modernize scientific software for genomics and other data-rich fields. Scientific computing is a core pillar of modern research across academia and industry. Yet the software needed to analyze scientific information has struggled to keep pace with the rapid rate of data generation. Many widely used research tools began as code accompanying a research paper, built by small academic teams with limited engineering experience and minimal time for packaging, testing, optimization, or long-term support. The result is scientific infrastructure that…
