Sam Altman stated that OpenAI's past 12 months were "not the best year," but the next 12 months will be one of the best ever, adding that the team is doing "fantastic work."
The post further interprets OpenAI's pace:
- During the GPT-5 era, they bet on pair programming and agentic coding in browsers/VMS, but it was premature.
- Later, a small team independently advanced the Codex model line and product.
- By November/December 2025, version 5.3 began to take shape.
- Codex Desktop launched in February and is considered stronger in user experience, demonstrating the possibility of "late-mover advantage" in AI products.
