OpenAI

One of the things I’m most excited about with ChatGPT is how it’s revolutionizing healthcare. GPT-5 is our best model yet for answering health questions. It scores significantly higher than any previous model on HealthBench, an evaluation OpenAI published earlier this year based on realistic scenarios in partnership with over 250 physicians. Felipe, a member of our OpenAI team, and his wife Carolina shared their story on today’s livestream, and it really moved me. Last October, Carolina was hit with three cancer diagnoses in one week. Like many, her biopsy results felt overwhelming and confusing. On a whim, she took a screenshot of the biopsy report and put it into ChatGPT. Within seconds, it translated the medical jargon into plain language, helping her feel more in control and more prepared to talk to her doctor about next steps. She’s kept using ChatGPT throughout her cancer journey, even to help make a tough choice about radiation when doctors gave conflicting advice. It’s incredible to hear how ChatGPT restored her sense of agency during these critical decisions. You can watch the full livestream and their story here:

Introducing GPT-5, our best AI system yet! GPT-5 features state-of-the-art performance across coding, math, writing assistance, health, visual perception, and more. Use GPT-5 to build websites, create apps, and tap into its improved writing capabilities to help with everyday tasks like reports, emails, and editing. GPT-5 is also our best model yet for health-related questions, empowering users to be informed about and advocate for their health.

Our open models are here! Today, we released two open-weight reasoning models—gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b—under an Apache 2.0 license. Developed with feedback from the open-source community, these models deliver meaningful advancements in both reasoning capabilities & safety. We’re excited to provide these best-in-class open models to empower everyone—from individual developers to large enterprises to governments—to run and customize AI on their own infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/gVmtKUWh

We build ChatGPT to help you thrive in the ways you choose — not to hold your attention, but to help you use it well. We’re improving support for tough moments, have rolled out break reminders, and are developing better life advice, all guided by expert input. https://lnkd.in/g7qNqcJz

This week, ChatGPT is on track to reach 700M weekly active users — up from 500M at the end of March and 4x since last year. Every day, people and teams are learning, creating, and solving harder problems. Big week ahead. Grateful to the team for making ChatGPT more useful and delivering on our mission so everyone can benefit from AI.

Does ChatGPT really cause brain rot? Our Head of Education Leah Belsky and college students Yabsera Benyam, and Alaap Nair join Andrew Mayne to discuss this and more on episode 4 of the OpenAI Podcast. https://lnkd.in/dr9D6-8i

As ChatGPT becomes a go-to tool for students, we’re committed to ensuring it fosters deeper understanding and learning. Introducing study mode in ChatGPT — a learning experience that helps you work through problems step-by-step instead of just getting an answer. Built in collaboration with educators and experts, study mode is our first step toward improving learning in ChatGPT. Available to logged-in Free, Plus, Pro, Team users, with availability in ChatGPT Edu coming in the coming weeks. https://lnkd.in/gi3xW8Hq

In front of an online audience of thousands last Thursday, OpenAI’s head recruiter, Joaquin Quiñonero Candela, described one of the common threads that draws talent to the company: OpenAI’s culture. “We’re a culture of doers who do things – with autonomy, with agency,” he said at the OpenAI Forum. “There’s no sitting around asking for permission.” Joaquin also mentioned how OpenAI’s mission is attractive to candidates. “We’re building AGI, and we’re bringing it to humanity in a way that’s responsible and beneficial.” And he explained how it’s the people at OpenAI who draw talent to the company. “We often say good people draw good people. And people want to work with like-minded people … people who, you know, want to jump into the deep-end and into the unknown.” Joaquin’s comments came during an hourlong conversation at the OpenForum titled: “Careers at the Frontier: Hiring the Future at OpenAI,” where he discussed his own career trajectory – stints at Facebook and LinkedIn before coming to OpenAI to work on AI safety and even a three-month turn as an intern on the company’s health team. Joaquin’s current role at OpenAI is Head of Recruiting, and he explained why he made the move to the post. “Although OpenAI is about 10 years old, in many ways we’re only getting started now. I feel like we’re at the beginning of building a company that is probably going to be generational,” he said. “It became a no-brainer.”  When Natalie Cone, who was moderating the conversation as head of the OpenAI Forum Community, asked him what a typical day looks like for his recruiting team, Joaquin replied, “Oh, a typical day is crazy.” He explained: “We have a constantly changing environment. The goals are always changing. We can’t really predict what products would be shipping long term, because the models keep getting more capable. It’s very hard, then, to know how much do different teams need to grow.” Approximately 11,000 guests registered for this online discussion – more than any other previous OpenAI Forum event.

I will officially start at OpenAI as CEO of Applications on August 18. I am sharing this essay on why I believe AI can be the greatest source of empowerment for all. https://lnkd.in/gfrq627N I’ve always considered myself a pragmatic technologist — someone who loves technology not for its own sake, but for the direct impact it can have on people’s lives. That’s what makes this job so exciting, since I believe AI will unlock more opportunities for more people than any other technology in history. If we get this right, AI can give everyone more power than ever. But I also realize those opportunities won’t magically appear on their own. Every major technology shift can expand access to power – the power to make better decisions, shape the world around us, and control our own destiny in new ways. But it can also further concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few — usually people who already have money, credentials, and connections. That’s why we have to be intentional about how we build and share these technologies so they lead to greater opportunity and prosperity for more people. The choices we make today will shape whether the coming transformation leads to greater empowerment for all, or greater concentration of wealth and power for the few. We can start by making sure the keys to empowerment and opportunity — knowledge, health, creative expression, economic freedom, time, and support — are widely available. You can read more in the link I shared about the potential AI has to transform each of these aspects of people’s lives. If we can make intelligence accessible everywhere, affordable to everyone, and easy to understand, we can drive the biggest opportunity engine the world has ever seen and help more people live better lives. I’m looking forward to building this future alongside my brilliant new colleagues at OpenAI, and I’ll have a lot more to share soon.
