The north stars we're working towards at OpenAI all center around the mission: ensure AGI benefits all of humanity. AI should expand human agency, not make people less consequential to the future.
- Very excited about the "First Proof" challenge. I believe novel frontier research is perhaps the most important way to evaluate capabilities of the next generation of AI models. We have run our internal model with limited human supervision on the ten proposed problems. The
- Last week, our reasoning models took part in the 2025 International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC), the world’s premier university-level programming competition. Our system solved all 12 out of 12 problems, a performance that would have placed first in the world (the best1/n I’m really excited to share that our @OpenAI reasoning system got a perfect score of 12/12 during the 2025 ICPC World Finals, the premier collegiate programming competition where top university teams from around the world solve complex algorithmic problems. This would have
- I am extremely excited about the potential of chain-of-thought faithfulness & interpretability. It has significantly influenced the design of our reasoning models, starting with o1-preview. As AI systems spend more compute working e.g. on long term research problems, it isModern reasoning models think in plain English. Monitoring their thoughts could be a powerful, yet fragile, tool for overseeing future AI systems. I and researchers across many organizations think we should work to evaluate, preserve, and even improve CoT monitorability.
- Great post from @joannejang on relationships people can form with AI. How we feel about AI is an increasingly important topic; we want to understand how this is influenced by the design/post-training of the system.some thoughts on human-ai relationships and how we're approaching them at openai it's a long blog post -- tl;dr we build models to serve people first. as more people feel increasingly connected to ai, we’re prioritizing research into how this impacts their emotional well-being.
