Nice to see the people behind all this marvelous stuff.

[OriginalRaveParty]

GPT 3.5, GPT 4, GPT 4o (and also Claude Sonnet 3.5) have all helped me to create software which has saved me many hours of time, and enabled me to see the big picture which was hidden inside my own data. The models keep getting better and allowing me to improve and iterate on these little software projects. It's fun 😊

[pedromarquez]

Thank you all. The people who actually use this for work are not asking for the next model but are using what is available to its fullest.

[alexawesome]

Love every unique and distinct self expression of this team

[JimSlattery]

What a great group of people! It's inspiring to see and hear from the people who put so much effort into creating at OpenAI.

[bhavtosh]

I appreciate your hard work.
Please take care of those who
can't afford your subscription
especially in emerging economies.
You people are going to change
the future of humanity.👍👍👍

[Sammy-kily]

Need more of these!! So interesting seeing what the team thinks.

[tracy]

Just wanted to thank you all for making it possible for the rest of us to see and do things I never thought would be possible in my lifetime.

And thanks to this kind of technology, I may actually be alive to see what's coming next century.

Crazy exciting times, please help ensure this isn't held back from the population by governments and religious beliefs.

[bastabey]

the only girl in that room is Turkish, Ilge Akkaya.. special greeting to her and the great work she did with the rest of the team

[BlayneOliver]

It’s wonderful how young the team are. Decades of great value to these bright minds

[my.last.memories]

With open source, we're all becoming creators. Thank you, DeepSeek, for giving us the open. Fun fact: OpenAI includes the word "Open."

[longhuynh]

Wojciech Zaremba is like a child. The way he enjoys the work and his vision of the model is such a pure one. Hope he and his team make greater things ahead

[lightyagami]

Computer Scientists are both scientist and engineers that's what makes the field so cool. I'm on a journey to become both

[RobertLoPinto]

Paraphrasing here: "People get excited when it gets really good at a domain they personally care about"

This is so true.

When I demo chat sessions to different people, their level of excitement is definitely proportional to their interest in the subject domain.

[noneyerbusiness]

Thank you to everyone at openai. Good to see that humans are involved in the process ;)

[jonnyhifi]

Terrific video . Do please make more of these In the future. It is fascinating hearing the developers talking, and I suspect will be really interesting historical documents in the far future.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, It's truly inspiring to watch the brilliant minds at OpenAI come together, working to create the most advanced AI in the world. The possibilities that could emerge from these innovations are staggering—perhaps even cures for diseases like cancer, cystic fibrosis, heart disease, HTLV, HIV, and many other metabolic disorders that currently seem beyond our reach. As a doctor, I’m deeply moved by the potential these technologies have to not only transform medicine but to extend and improve lives across the globe. The work being done today is groundbreaking, and tools like O1 Mini and O1 Preview are just the beginning of what could be a revolutionary era in healthcare. Who knows what incredible advancements lie ahead, but for now, I’m in awe of what’s already been achieved.
