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…

How AI is expanding what people do at work

Publisher preview

OpenAI Economic Research’s new Work at the Frontier series shows how workers cross over into work beyond the traditional boundaries of their roles. AI changes the work that people do. In an analysis of more than 800,000 messages from U.S. ChatGPT users, our new research suggests that 16.8% of work-related messages and 43.5% of occupation-specific messages are about tasks associated with another occupation. A small-business owner can independently draft copy, review a contract, or perform basic financial analysis. A salesperson can use AI to explore a customer dataset that might…

Building AI infrastructure with the Effingham County community

Publisher preview

Project Camellia is a long-term datacenter project that OpenAI is designing and developing in Effingham County, Georgia. To support the data center, we are contracting with Georgia Power Company for 3.2 gigawatts of power which will be delivered in phases between 2028 and 2032. We’re excited about the opportunity to work with this community. We also recognize that new data center projects can raise important questions, so we’ve outlined our initial commitments that will guide how we engage, develop, and operate. 1.
