austinc3301 · x · 2026-07-11

A transcript mentions Aidan is in charge of post-training at OpenAI, and doing end-to-end RL training has become routine. Combined with the claim that "OpenAI internal compute usage has grown 100x in 6 months," the post suggests the internal feedback loop is accelerating significantly.

The core info is not a new model release but rapid changes in OpenAI's training workflow and compute consumption, reflecting increased investment in post-training and internal loops.
