Here is how we are prioritizing compute over the next couple of months in light of the increased demand from GPT-5:1. We will first make sure that current paying ChatGPT users get more total usage than they did before GPT-5.2. We will then prioritize API demand up to the currently allocated capacity and commitments we've made to customers. (For a rough sense, we can support about an additional ~30% new API growth from where we are today with this capacity.)3. We will then increase the quality of the free ti ...

Performance Improvement - Performance improved from the 49th to the 98th percentile in IOI in one year [1] - The improvement was achieved without training any specialized models [1] - The same Reinforcement Learning (RL) was used as for everything else [1]

RT Ahmed El-Kishky (@ahelkky)My first project at OpenAI involved teaching our models to reason and use tools by improving their competitive programming skills. Back then, GPT-4 struggled with even the simplest Codeforces problems, often oom-ing in the sandbox. It's incredible to see that just 2.5 years later, our models now achieve IOI gold-level performance! This amazing progress reflects the hard work of many, many people. Huge congrats to everyone involved! ...

RT Sheryl Hsu (@SherylHsu02)1/n I’m thrilled to share that our @OpenAI reasoning system scored high enough to achieve gold 🥇🥇 in one of the world’s top programming competitions - the 2025 International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) - placing first among AI participants! 👨‍💻👨‍💻 https://t.co/k3RQxIzXPH ...

Product & Pricing Strategy - Company is considering offering a small number of GPT-5 Pro queries monthly to Plus subscribers [1] - Individual user willing to pay $1k/month for GPT-5 Pro with 2x input tokens [1] - Company might consider offering 2x input tokens for $1k/month [1] Product Performance - GPT-5 Pro is considered "ridiculously good" by at least one user [1]

If you have been following the GPT-5 rollout, one thing you might be noticing is how much of an attachment some people have to specific AI models. It feels different and stronger than the kinds of attachment people have had to previous kinds of technology (and so suddenly deprecating old models that users depended on in their workflows was a mistake).This is something we’ve been closely tracking for the past year or so but still hasn’t gotten much mainstream attention (other than when we released an update ...

the percentage of users using reasoning models each day is significantly increasing; for example, for free users we went from <1% to 7%, and for plus users from 7% to 24%.i expect use of reasoning to greatly increase over time, so rate limit increases are important. ...

today we are significantly increasing rate limits for reasoning for chatgpt plus users, and all model-class limits will shortly be higher than they were before gpt-5.we will also shortly make a UI change to indicate which model is working. ...

tomorrow or tuesday we expect to share our thinking on how we are going to make capacity tradeoffs over the coming months.(e.g., chatgpt vs the api, existing users vs new ones, research vs product, etc) ...

Wanted to provide more updates on the GPT-5 rollout and changes we are making heading into the weekend.1. We for sure underestimated how much some of the things that people like in GPT-4o matter to them, even if GPT-5 performs better in most ways.2. Users have very different opinions on the relative strength of GPT-4o vs GPT-5 (just the chat model, not the advanced reasoning one). This is a cool thing you can try: https://t.co/O9Nu6LPC7f3. Long-term, this has reinforced that we really need good ways for dif ...
