Altman on OpenAI's Next 12 Months
haider1 · x · 2026-07-17
Sam Altman publicly admitted that the past 12 months "were not the best" for OpenAI, taking personal responsibility. However, he emphasized that the next 12 months will be the company's "best yet."
He praised the team's current work and expressed optimism, stating his goal is for AI to empower people with greater freedom, agency, and wealth, rather than scaring them into following the company's direction. Commentators interpreted this as a sign that OpenAI was forced to adjust its pace due to Anthropic's coding model advantages, but is now making a strong comeback.
