"Hi there, VB from OpenAI here, we published a recap of all the things we shipped in 2025 from models to APIs to tools like Codex - it was a pretty strong year and I’m quite excited for 2026!
We shipped:
- reasoning that converged (o1 → o3/o4-mini → GPT-5.2)
- codex as a coding surface (GPT-5.2-Cod..."

Using a persona-adoption jailbreak (The "Grandma Protocol"), I forced the model to break character, dump its environmen..."

+++ Developers are frantically bolting retrieval systems onto Claude because apparently the real innovation in AI isn't the models, it's making them remember things for more than five minutes. +++
🎯 String theory research • AI-assisted literature search • Concerns about security and ethics
💬 "Using LLm for tasks that could be done faster with traditional algorithmic approaches seems wasteful"

"If you use Claude for research, you've probably hit this wall: podcasts are a goldmine of expert conversations, but they're invisible to AI. Claude can't listen to audio, and transcripts aren't indexed anywhere useful.
I built Audioscrape to fix this – and now it has an MCP server so Claude can sea..."

💬 "AI is going to be a highly-competitive, extremely capital-intensive commodity market"
• "OpenAI's infrastructure costs are astronomical - training runs, inference compute, and scaling to meet demand all burn through capital at an incredible rate"
"Hello everyone! I’m building a fully local AI-Scribe for clinicians and just pushed an end-of-year refresh of our medical dialogue STT benchmark.
I ran **26 open + closed source STT models** on **PriMock57** (55 files, 81,236 words) and ranked them by **average WER**. I also logged **avg seconds..."
