Report: OpenAI has largely automated training of new experimental AI models
Kyrannio · x · 2026-09-22
Per a report relayed by @wallstengine, OpenAI's internal AI models can now handle much of building and training experimental models, including writing GPU kernels and optimizing runtime code. Researchers reportedly give the AI a single optimization example, then let it work for weeks implementing and testing similar improvements. Employees say internal agents increasingly collaborate with each other without human involvement, and the capability has jumped sharply in just the last few months amid growing compute access. Andrew Curran notes this mirrors Anthropic's report last week, with the biggest inflection in early May.
