Today, I’m excited to share with you all the fruit of our effort at @OpenAI to create AI models capable of truly general reasoning: OpenAI's new o1 model series! (aka 🍓) Let me explain 🧵 1/

- It's deeply concerning that one of the best AI researchers I've worked with, @kaicathyc, was denied a U.S. green card today. A Canadian who's lived and contributed here for 12 years now has to leave. We’re risking America’s AI leadership when we turn away talent like this.
- This is on the scale of the Apollo Program and Manhattan Project when measured as a fraction of GDP. This kind of investment only happens when the science is carefully vetted and people believe it will succeed and be completely transformative. I agree it’s the right time.Announcing The Stargate Project The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure
- Today, we at @OpenAI achieved a milestone that many considered years away: gold medal-level performance on the 2025 IMO with a general reasoning LLM—under the same time limits as humans, without tools. As remarkable as that sounds, it’s even more significant than the headline 🧵1/N I’m excited to share that our latest @OpenAI experimental reasoning LLM has achieved a longstanding grand challenge in AI: gold medal-level performance on the world’s most prestigious math competition—the International Math Olympiad (IMO).
- We announced @OpenAI o1 just 3 months ago. Today, we announced o3. We have every reason to believe this trajectory will continue.
- 3 years ago my teammates and I set out toward a goal that seemed like science fiction: to build an AI that could strategically outnegotiate humans *in natural language* in Diplomacy. Today, I’m excited to share our Science paper showing we’ve succeeded! 🧵Meta AI presents CICERO — the first AI to achieve human-level performance in Diplomacy, a strategy game which requires building trust, negotiating and cooperating with multiple players.

00:00 - When this happened in 2014 almost everyone in AI thought it was outrageously overpricedstill can’t believe DeepMind was acquired for $400M
- You don’t need a PhD to be a great AI researcher. Even @OpenAI’s Chief Research Officer doesn’t have a PhD.
- Those of us at @OpenAI working on o1/🍓 find it strange to hear outsiders claim that OpenAI has deprioritized research. I promise you all, it's the opposite.
- We did not “solve math”. For example, our models are still not great at writing proofs. o3 and o4-mini are nowhere close to getting International Mathematics Olympiad gold medals.AI has *solved* math. OpenAI did it with o4 Not "is close to solving math" Not "is competitive at math" *SOLVED* This is far bigger than anyone realizes. Let me explain why. First, you need to understand some historical context. Typically, with AI/ML you know that you're
Readers added contextOpen AI did not "solve" math Source: Noam Brown, research at OpenAI leading test time compute scaling x.com/polynoamial/st… - 12 years ago I tried making my first poker AI in college and dreamed of beating the world's best pros. After seven years of a PhD, I'm excited to announce that I finally did it! It's been quite an adventure. Looking forward to the next one!Facebook AI and @CarnegieMellon researchers have built Pluribus, the first AI bot to beat elite poker pros in 6 player Texas Hold’em. This breakthrough is the first major benchmark outside of 2 player games and we’re sharing specifics on how we built it. ai.facebook.com/blog/pluribus-…
00:00 - I worked in quant trading for a year after undergrad, but didn't want my lifetime contribution to humanity to be making equity markets marginally more efficient. Taking a paycut to pursue AI research was my best life decision. Today, you don't even need to take a paycut to do it.>be you >work in HFT shaving nanoseconds off latency or extracting bps from models >have existential dread >see this tweet, wonder if your skills could be better used making AGI >apply to attend this party, meet the openai team >build AGI
- Replying to @polynoamial @OpenAI and @rao2z@OpenAI's o1 thinks for seconds, but we aim for future versions to think for hours, days, even weeks. Inference costs will be higher, but what cost would you pay for a new cancer drug? For breakthrough batteries? For a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis? AI can be more than chatbots
