OpenAI's internal data: model task time horizons double every 64 days
LeviTurk · x · 2026-10-17
Citing OpenAI's official piece "Research acceleration: The view inside OpenAI" (Sep 6, 2026), the poster notes that by OpenAI's internal measurements, the time horizon of tasks models can complete doubles every 64 days. Following the METR-style evaluation framing, this implies the duration of continuous work a model can handle could climb from minutes to hours within a year if the trend holds. The post gives only the claim and the source reference.
