We’ve (finally) added full support for MCP tools in ChatGPT.  In developer mode, developers can create connectors and use them in chat for write actions (not just search/fetch). Update Jira tickets, trigger Zapier workflows, or combine connectors for complex automations. https://x.com/OpenAIDevs/status/1965807401745207708

There are two people I’d like to mention that OpenAI would not be OpenAI without: Jakub Pachocki and Szymon Sidor. https://x.com/sama/status/1965206375287672834

We are starting to see some nuanced discussions of what it means to work with advanced AI In this case, GPT-5 Pro was able to do novel math, but only when guided by a math professor (though the paper also noted the speed of advance since GPT-4). The reflection is worth reading. https://x.com/emollick/status/1964447221853966775

One challenge that no AI model has solved yet is “”Create a compelling puzzle that is solvable by players for a D&D game that isn’t boring or trite and where choices matter.”” It just involves too much planning & detail. Here, GPT-5 Pro comes very close, but there are still flaws. https://x.com/emollick/status/1964882159157784961

Heh. “”GPT-5 Pro, here is data about the Gartner hype cycle, tell me if it is real given the data and show me evidence”” (I gave it a dataset of Gartner technology analyses since 1995) “”Is the five stage cycle real?

I think congrats again to OpenAI for cooking with GPT-5 Pro. This is the third time I’ve struggled on something complex/gnarly for an hour on and off with CC, then 5 Pro goes off for 10 minutes and comes back with code that works out of the box. I had CC read the 5 Pro version”” / X https://x.com/karpathy/status/1964020416139448359

Paper from OpenAI says hallucinations are less a problem with LLMs themselves & more an issue with training on tests that only reward right answers. That encourages guessing rather than saying “I don’t know” If this is true, there is a straightforward path for more reliable AI. https://x.com/emollick/status/1964347733499638063

Through each model addition to transformers, we end up working on larger topics than the model itself: Performance (kernels, fusing), parallelism (ND), caching, attention, … This results in updates for most models. @ariG23498 wrote a nice blog about this w/ GPT-OSS release! https://x.com/LysandreJik/status/1966147345646780561

In retrospect it is surprising that OpenAI released o1-preview. As soon as they showed off reasoning, everyone copied it immediately. And if they had held off releasing a reasoning/planning model until o3 (& called that GPT-5) it would have been a startling leap in AI abilities.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1964373393983361074

As someone who has worked with Census data, the fact that GPT-5 can do this so easily is impressive But we can go even further!
