we're starting rollout of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a frontier cybersecurity model, to critical cyber defenders in the next few days. we will work with the entire ecosystem and the government to figure out trusted access for cyber; we want to rapidly help secure companies/infrastructure.

i would like to talk to people who have built amazing things with 5.5 that weren't possible with earlier models. i am especially interested in examples that took ludicrous token budgets. thanks.

a general-purpose model solved a major open problem in mathematics. we'll be saying this a lot over the coming years, but this is a kinda big milestone. i'm very excited for AI to greatly extend our understanding of the world, but still, i have complicated feelings today.

i get some anxiety not using the smartest-available model/settings. but sometimes i dont mind if it's really slow. i wonder if we should focus more on a price/speed tradeoff relative to a price/intelligence tradeoff.
