OpenAI employees can't leave: unlimited frontier models and sub-agent swarms
brandon_galang · x · 2026-08-19
A joke tweet about OpenAI staff: imagine trying to leave and work anywhere else after getting used to blasting unlimited GPT 5.6 Astra, orchestrating a swarm of 5.6 Sol sub-agents at 1,300 tok/s.
Behind the joke is a real gap: top-lab employees have access to models and compute quotas the outside world doesn't, and leaving means losing that entire way of working.
