Lenny Rachitsky interviewed Thibault Sottiaux, Head of ChatGPT and Codex at OpenAI, surfacing several notable points:
- Revenue sharing: OpenAI shares revenue with third-party plugins that see heavy usage — a program Lenny says he wasn't aware of
- Model picker likely going away: suggesting automatic routing instead of manual model selection
- Loops and graphs are a passing phase in agent design
- Most actions on the internet will soon be taken by agents
The conversation also covers OpenAI's approach to AI safety.
