Codex is one of the most important untold stories in the history of technology. A year ago, it was a scrappy effort in a quiet corner of @OpenAI. Its cloud product hadn’t found PMF, and the team was starting over from scratch. Less than 12 months later: - Codex swallowed the flagship ChatGPT desktop app from the inside (it literally runs as com.openai.codex on your Mac) - Codex and ChatGPT for Work hit 40M+ weekly users across engineering and knowledge work - Its leader @thsottiaux was elevated to run all of OpenAI’s core products, including ChatGPT, Codex, and the API How did they pull it off? They trained their own dedicated model line, separate from ChatGPT, with researchers and product builders sitting on the same team They built four different products in a single year (cloud → terminal → IDE sidebar → a desktop app with no code editor at all) as every model leap made a new form factor possible They used Codex to build Codex—so a handful of people could prove a new product in weeks instead of arguing for it in meetings I had a front-row seat to the whole arc—from their failed Cloud launch, to OpenAI’s offices the night before GPT-5 dropped, to the day Codex took over ChatGPT. And I spent months interviewing @gdb, @thsottiaux, @embirico, @mia_glaese, @aambrosino, and @edbayes to get inside how it all went down. Here is the full, behind-closed-doors story of the team that remade OpenAI: https://every.to/p/how-codex-happened We’re pushing the boundaries of how stories like this are told. This piece is completely agent-native—designed to be read alongside your agent inside ChatGPT’s in-app browser: - Every interview transcript is included in full: Click any quote and you (or your agent) can see the exact conversation it came from. - Built for your agent to explore: Ask your agent to pull out product lessons for your team, cross-examine the transcripts, or find insights I missed when writing the piece. It’s a story about the future of software—built to be read with an agent: https://every.to/p/how-codex-happened

interpretability might be the most important scientific problem in the world right now, as I don't think we can solve alignment if we don't know what we're building. I think I have good news about it. I co-authored early work in mechanistic interpretability at OpenAI and came away pessimistic, because neural networks appeared to fold into arbitrary tangled knots. years later, I started openai's first large-scale automated interpretability project, finding about 2% of neurons legible with the primitive tools we had with modern agentic tools and a much closer look, the picture looks totally different. the vast majority in models up to trillions of parameters are legible, and their circuits beautiful. many famous examples of tangled neurons turned out to be misunderstood. The roadblocks I expected mostly aren't there. I now think ambitious interpretability will be solved by the time we need it most, and possibly quite soon, as automated scientists keep improving. it may be a bitter lesson for interpretability: the simple thing, at absurd scale, works https://already-clean.goodfire.com/

My dear friends, I’d like to show you my latest toy project Introducing Handwired: turn your regular JavaScript code into a neural net! - no training - exact outputs vs the JS program - fully differentiable All runnable in a browser, without GPU

This happened when I tried to get my Grok Bot to order stuff for me on Amazon. “Continued access by an unauthorized AI agent violates Amazon's Conditions of Use, to which our customers have agreed.” My bots can no longer access Amazon for orders or anything.

Grok @bot booked a flight for me today the entire process was really really easy…..I send a photo of my credit card and it did the entire process…. Tbh, last time I booked, the website was way too confusing…. It’s not an easy website, and Grok Bot did perfectly well and booked a flight for me…. And I got a message for a booking confirmation….going to board it soon

Introducing Grok Voice 3.0, the world’s most intelligent speech-to-speech model. It excels at resolving customer calls, responds in under a second, and costs less than other frontier models.

Cheeky Pint is back! Mark Zuckerberg @finkd and Alexandr Wang @alexandr_wang came to the pub to discuss their new frontier model, Muse Wonder. 00:00:24 Muse’s breakout use cases 00:07:28 The model is the product 00:14:35 Muse Wonder 00:24:56 How frontier models are built 00:48:26 Betting $100B 01:07:21 Agentic commerce 01:19:34 OpenRouter 01:20:06 Beyond the smartphone 01:27:00 Funding 01:34:06 Why AI won’t be winner-take-all 01:40:46 Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) 02:08:11 Working for Mark Zuckerberg

An email from noreply@x.ai landed in my inbox, passed SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and had the blue check Something felt off, so I asked @bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check passed, wrote a report to xAI - including proposed fix!
