can't believe I went all the way to Pyongyang to see statues of dictators when I could have just waited for the Trump library

if you studied secret police in history class - who'd beat citizens and drag them off in unmarked vehicles - and thought, "I'd obviously have spoken up if I had been around back then"
well, now's your chance
Americans will be better off when he and his party are removed from power
5 years on from January 6th it's worth reflecting on just how much contempt Donald Trump has for us, the American people. he’s pardoned criminals who've defrauded us, used our tax money to enrich himself and his friends, and continues to attack our democratic rights
2026 is shaping up to be an incredibly gay year
how was your year with chatgpt?
congrats to Anthropic on the release of Claude Opus 4.5!
congrats to google on the launch of gemini 3!
setting "prompt_cache_retention" to "24h" in the Responses API can lead to significant cost and latency improvements in gpt-5.1, since prompts will be cached much longer than the normal 5-10 minutes
developers didn't have to wait long - gpt-5.1 is now available in the API! openai.com/index/gpt-5-...
I have positions in both NYC and SF for senior backend and full-stack engineers, who can end-to-end own a number of new initiatives. If this sounds like you, send me a DM!
I’m hiring for the API Frontiers team at OpenAI! We take the latest breakthroughs from research and turn them into developer products - designing APIs that feel natural, powerful, and scale to billions of users.
gpt-5.1 is now available in ChatGPT! smarter, faster, and with more options to customize its personality - because sometimes you don't need to be told that every question is a great question
exciting to see my current and former employers working together to scale AI compute!
just made a donation to the Python Software Foundation. groups like the PSF should not be forced to add/remove unrelated policies in order to receive scientific grants.
seems like a good day to remind everyone of the temporary chat button in ChatGPT, which will disable memory and remove the conversation from your history
another successful DevDay in the books. thanks to everyone who attended and also to our incredible events team - it was our biggest one yet!
between the Apps SDK, Codex SDK, and AgentKit - how many startups did OpenAI just create today?
ChatGPT, the everything app
it’s difficult to overstate how important Codex has been to our team’s ability to ship new products. for example: the drag and drop agent builder we launched today was built end to end in under 6 weeks, thanks to Codex writing 80% of the PRs
want more users? how does 800M users sound?
build and distribute your apps within ChatGPT with the new Apps SDK
Sam’s DevDay keynote starts in 15 minutes! what do you think he’s going to announce? 👀
