Reflections on OpenAI
hree weeks ago. I had joined the company back in May 2024.
You might think that having one of the top consumer apps on the planet might be enough, but there's a desire to compete across dozens of arenas: the API product, deep research, hardware, coding agents, image generation, and a handful of others which haven't been announced. The scope wasn't small either; we built a container runtime, made optimizations on repo downloading, fine-tuned a custom model to deal with code edits, handled all manner of git operations, introduced a completely new surface area, enabled internet access, and ended up with a product that was generally a delight to use. And thanks for the Codex core team for giving me the ride of a lifetime: Albin, AE, Andrey, Bryan, Channing, DavidK, Gabe, Gladstone, Hanson, Joey, Josh, Katy, KevinT, Max, Sabrina, SQ, Tibo, TZ and Will.
