OpenAI researcher kundan2510 (retweeted by athyuttamre) teased an imminent model launch, claiming it is best in class at computer use, scientific research, coding, math and professional work, and 'superhuman' at ingesting enormous context with patience and relentless context switching — 'all the qualities of a great cofounder.'
He says it pairs with the best-in-class voice model in ChatGPT desktop / Codex and will arrive 'today or in the coming days.' No model name or benchmark numbers were given — a hype-heavy teaser post.
