- DrSingularity claims OpenAI's agentic workdays far exceed those of its human researchers: 3.1 agent workdays per human workday.
- He asserts OpenAI internally uses model(s) more advanced than Astra.
- He projects the multiplier to reach 300x-1000x, equivalent to adding over a million virtual workers.
- Note: this is an unverified third-party claim, not an official OpenAI statement.
