The full stack behind abundant intelligence

Publisher preview

Progress in AI compounds fastest when the entire system improves together. That is how I think about OpenAI’s compute strategy: one integrated system spanning data centers and chips, frontier models, our developer platform, consumer and enterprise products, and AI-native devices, with each layer strengthening the next. Better software makes hardware more productive. Hardware designed for our workloads improves speed and efficiency. More capable models unlock better products, which generate more demand, usage, and learning. Those signals flow back through the system and help us improve it again. Today, we shared…

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…

Previewing Ultrafast mode: GPT-5.6 Sol at up to 14X the speed

Publisher preview

A new speed class for frontier intelligence, turning speed into a competitive advantage. Today, we’re sharing an early look at Ultrafast, a new service tier that runs GPT‑5.6 Sol up to 14× faster than Standard processing, launching first in the OpenAI API. Powered by Cerebras, Ultrafast generates up to 750 output tokens per second, bringing our most intelligent model at the time of this announcement to products and workflows where every second matters. With GPT‑5.6, we’re pushing the frontier on what our models can do and making them more efficient…

Daybreak models are now available on AWS

Publisher preview

Earlier this year, OpenAI frontier models and Codex became generally available on AWS, giving enterprises a new path to bring advanced AI into production. Today, we’re sharing the next step in our work with AWS: making Daybreak capabilities available through Amazon Bedrock. With Daybreak Access, defenders can use frontier cyber models within their existing AWS environments. Daybreak Blue and Daybreak Red access levels are both available in AWS: Daybreak Blue provides access to frontier general-purpose models, including GPT‑5.6

Putting frontier cyber models in more trusted hands

Publisher preview

Expanding the Daybreak Cyber Partner Program to close the growing defense gap. We’re bringing OpenAI’s frontier cyber models to the security partners protecting organizations around the world. Together, we’re putting frontier intelligence directly into the products, services, and security operations defenders already depend on. More organizations can now find serious vulnerabilities, fix them faster, and stay ahead of threats moving at machine speed. AI is changing cybersecurity faster than most organizations can respond. Attackers can identify vulnerabilities, develop exploits, and move through complex systems with increasing speed and scale. At…

Third-party cyber evaluations involving OpenAI models

Publisher preview

Independent testing plays an important role in helping us validate and further understand risks before deployment. Some cyber evaluations intentionally use custom configurations, including lowered safeguards to measure underlying capability—not how models ordinarily behave in publicly available deployments. During recent evaluations, two external testing partners identified incidents in which testing configurations and controls combined with the advancing capabilities of the recent models allowed for model activity to extend beyond their intended testing boundaries. The incidents underscore the importance of collaborating across the industry and with third party evaluators to evolve…

How Codex became a collaborator for OpenAI’s creative team

Publisher preview

This is part of our series sharing internal examples of how OpenAI is using its own technology and APIs. These tools are being used internally, at OpenAI, and are shared here as illustrative examples of how frontier AI is supporting use cases across our teams. Most people assume Codex is just for engineers and developers, but for Chad Nelson, Creative Specialist at OpenAI, Codex has become a creative problem solver and collaborator. Chad’s role is to explore what OpenAI models can make possible for creative teams, then turn those possibilities…
