Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
OpenAI’s CPO on what’s coming next: Hardware, GPT-5, Jony Ive, agents, more

Yeah, I think part of this is about making sure that, like we talked about earlier, that the user is in control here.

So you should be able to at some point be like, hey, you know what?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

You've checked enough.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
OpenAI’s CPO on what’s coming next: Hardware, GPT-5, Jony Ive, agents, more

Like, you're good.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
OpenAI’s CPO on what’s coming next: Hardware, GPT-5, Jony Ive, agents, more

And the other interesting thing in all of this is the technology is evolving so quickly, like much more quickly than I think we're used to with technology.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

We're used to things taking like decades to deploy and to really achieve scale.

One of the phenomenons you see with AI technology is there'll be some benchmark, some eval that AI just can't crack.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
OpenAI’s CPO on what’s coming next: Hardware, GPT-5, Jony Ive, agents, more

And people are like, oh, AI just can't do that.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

And then one day, somebody ships a model that gets like 5% on that eval.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

Still mostly can't do the job, but just like begins to get it.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

And then what you inevitably find is like two months later, there's a model that's at 30 on that eval.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

And then four months later, there's a model that's at 60.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

And then, you know, within six months, it's completely saturated and like models are great at that new skill and will forever be.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
OpenAI’s CPO on what’s coming next: Hardware, GPT-5, Jony Ive, agents, more

And so you go very quickly from like proof of existence to like, oh yeah, of course AI models can do that.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
OpenAI’s CPO on what’s coming next: Hardware, GPT-5, Jony Ive, agents, more

That like rate of development is still, I think, something that we're not totally used to.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
OpenAI’s CPO on what’s coming next: Hardware, GPT-5, Jony Ive, agents, more

Yeah, it's a really good question.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

And actually, coding is this vertical that kind of hits all of these things.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
OpenAI’s CPO on what’s coming next: Hardware, GPT-5, Jony Ive, agents, more

For one, it's really important to us because if we can speed up coding, if we can make every engineer more effective, we also make ourselves more effective.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
OpenAI’s CPO on what’s coming next: Hardware, GPT-5, Jony Ive, agents, more

And so we can build even faster and we can bring AGI to the world faster.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

So it's interesting to us from that perspective.
