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…

Introducing ChatGPT for Teens: Built for learning, backed by protections

Publisher preview

We’re introducing ChatGPT for Teens, an experience designed to help teens learn, think critically, deepen understanding, and use AI with confidence. It provides stronger built-in safety protections for teens, including features to promote healthy use and additional controls for parents. If our system estimates someone is under 18 or they state their age is between 13 and 17,⁠ they are automatically placed into ChatGPT for Teens. This launch builds on the foundational work to support teens on our platform including: Introducing Parental Controls, updating our Under-18 Model Spec, creating our…

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…

Q&A: Rethinking how innovation happens

Publisher preview

Innovation is a concept that has become mythologized in the modern era: what it is, how to manage it, how to teach it, and how to get it to work for us. Despite these explorations, it remains fundamentally misunderstood, writes Eugene Fitzgerald, the Merton C. Flemings SMA Professor in MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, in his latest book, “The Invisible Engine: Why Innovation Evades Control.” Fitzgerald draws on a decade of work leading international research programs, including the MIT and Masdar Institute Cooperative Program and the MIT-Singapore Alliance…

The Defender’s Window

Publisher preview

The OpenAI-Hugging Face incident⁠ was a watershed moment for cybersecurity because it gave a peek into how the capabilities of a typical threat actor will evolve in upcoming months. I’ve spoken with many organizations over the past few weeks, and one theme is clear: they know they need to fundamentally uplevel their cybersecurity practices with unprecedented speed. In this post, I’ll share what we’re doing to defend OpenAI, concrete steps other organizations can take today, and why now is the time to act. AI models developed around the world are…

OpenAI joins PORTS-Pike project

Publisher preview

OpenAI has entered into an agreement to secure approximately 8 gigawatts-IT at the PORTS-Pike Technology Campus in Pike County, Ohio, working with SB Energy, NVIDIA, and the U.S. Department of Energy. We want to develop this project as a partner to Pike County—paying its project-specific energy and infrastructure costs, using water responsibly, creating opportunities for local workers and businesses, and making long-term investments shaped by the community. The project is expected to create 35,000 construction jobs during its six-year buildout through 2032 and 2,500 long-term operating jobs. We will also…

Funding independent projects to promote economic opportunity and resilience as AI advances. OpenAI is awarding grants to 14 projects led by independent organizations to promote economic opportunity and societal resilience as AI advances. The grants follow through on a commitment we made when we published Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age in April 2026: to support others in testing, challenging, and building on the ideas we put forward to ensure that advanced AI benefits everyone. AI is quickly becoming more capable, with the potential to transform how people learn, create,…

The builder’s guide to GPT‑5.6

Publisher preview

The GPT‑5.6 model family makes frontier-level agent performance dramatically more affordable, while also advancing the frontier of what is possible. In this guide, we show how startups are using smarter model selection and new API controls that help with reasoning continuity, multi-agent orchestration, and programmatic tool calling to build faster, more capable agents at a fraction of the cost. Since GPT‑5, each model generation has sought to tackle longer-horizon tasks with fewer tokens. GPT‑5.6 continues that trajectory: stronger agent performance, lower costs, with minimal changes to the underlying harness. The…
