OpenAI's luna model is vastly underrated. The intelligence/cost ratio is crazy good.

Put Luna into your products and make every product intelligent
Luna is such insanely good value its not even funny. Basically doesn't make sense to meter tokens if you're offering luna in a product anymore.

Intelligence not worth metering 🔜
GPT-6 Luna is $0.10 / $0.50 per 1M tokens! We're soon going to have to switch to per billion token prices....

It’s great to see the team continue to push efficiency which we are then able to share with all of you! Excited for more ideas to be unblocked by this 🚀
Please welcome GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna to the GPT-6 universe. GPT-6 Sol and Luna build on the advances behind GPT-6 Astra, bringing much of its strengths into faster and more affordable models to support work at scale. We’ve also made caching and inference more efficient, and we’re passing the savings directly to you: 50% lower API prices for Sol and Luna compared with GPT‑5.6 promotional pricing.

Starting today, you can connect multiple accounts with most plugins in ChatGPT! 🎉 Bring context from your work and personal accounts into the same conversation. Connect your accounts in the plugin directory: chatgpt.com/plugins Devs: this works automatically, with no changes needed. But, to make the experience for users of your plugin even better, add a profile tool to your MCP server so ChatGPT can label the accounts: developers.openai.com/plugin…

chatgpt work for operating over and taking actions with your company's data, including building dashboards. just connect your existing tools, including PowerBI, Tableau, Clickhouse, Oracle BI, AWS Redshift, etc..
Now everyone can put data to work. We’re introducing a new Data agent in ChatGPT Work so you can turn your company’s data into answers, interactive dashboards, and action—just by asking. Just add the Data Plugin in ChatGPT Work, connect to the data sources and context you already use, and start the conversation. openai.com/index/put-data-to…

Every so often, a set of founders propose a vision for the future that seems so clearly better that you can’t believe it has not been done yet. In @Shivam2291 and @vik_sekhon’s case, they had visceral negative reactions to all the shortcuts folks had taken previously. They were willing to go as deep into the technical stack as required to build the experience, that they as fleet owners would have wanted. Everytime they sought a partner on the journey, that had a very clear requirement on bringing along first principle thinkers who would appreciate why even small papercuts and shortcuts make the product much less appealing. I was lucky to get to partner with them at @sparkcapital and they couldn’t have picked a better partner than @nikunj for this phase. Fun story: the way @nikunj won them over against the other investors was by actually driving to Tracy with them on one of the network expansions and seeing up close how the entire experience of going live with a gas station partner worked 🚀
I have been obsessed with closed payment loops for a LONG time, and have been looking to find a company trying to solve a real problem.. excited to finally back Piston (piston dot com) ⛽️ USA alone spends hundreds of billions in fuel. Most of that spend comes through cards (credit, fuel, or sometime house cards). However, a lot of these cards are not even tied to a particular driver. They often get stolen, skimmed, or misused. The fleet owner then has to eat the fraud and then spend a long time reconciling what exactly happened. The gas station has to pay interchange fees to accept the card, but has no relationship with the fleets on the other side. And a lot of companies have come and gone trying to optimize this infrastructure rather than thinking about it from the very beginning. You really can't fix this issue by JUST building a better fuel card. The card is the problem, and so Piston decided to get rid of it. It moves the payment over its own rails without networks or any intermediaries. Piston pays the station and then invoices the fleet. Every transaction is tied to a specific driver with the time, location, and fuel type attached, and soon it'll be integrated with the vehicle itself. The founders faced this problem themselves. @vik_sekhon runs his own fleet of trucks, and his fleet lost real money to fuel fraud. @Shivam2291 used to recruit thousands of drivers before the two of them got together to help build Piston. The best signal for how effective Piston is for fleets is the moment they switch over to Piston, they see their fuel spend automatically go down. I have seen so many charts and customer quotes that show this directly. Customer love shows in the metrics. Payment volume has grown 8x and merchant network has grown 40x while retention has stayed above 98%. Piston is now live across 2,000 stations and across 48 states. Fleets pay nothing for it today and they get fraud prevention, which is what a card-based system cannot offer. Gas stations get direct access to fleets to help build loyalty and offer adjacent products. To increase their reach, Piston is now directly integrated with POS of the majority of gas stations in America. This allows them to turn on hundreds of gas stations at once, secure supply and hence fulfill their already burgeoning demand. Thrilled to be leading their Series A and joining the board, along with existing investors @sparkcapital & @pearvc. Special thanks to @arpans who introduced me to this team last year!

Even when chess players don’t fully understand what Alphazero is doing in the moment, they are still able to spend days, weeks and years studying it after that moment. That analysis often leads to improved insights and ways to play chess and many teachable moments.

Absolutely! We have been hard at work and @mxstbr and team are continuously improving the platform and ecosystem!
ChatGPT is superior to Claude on plug-ins and connectors. Claude continually runs out of tool call space and they break weekly. Haven’t touched mine on ChatGPT in months. They just work.

People love using Amplitude with @ChatGPT ! Amplitude is one of the best analytics products out there, if you already use it , try using it with Data in @ChatGPT
Quit logging into Amplitude with ChatGPT Data agent. I'm excited for @Amplitude_HQ to be a featured ChatGPT Work plugin and a top source for its new Data agent launch today. This is a whole new way to use Amplitude data to understand what your users are doing and decide what to build next. Now anyone can do that without leaving their chat. Too many SaaS companies are trying to get you to visit their walled garden. We are all in on the headless future here at Amplitude. There's no more need to login to the 100th SaaS dashboard!

This Data agent has been huge for us – give it a try in ChatGPT Work! The coolest trend has been seeing how many _non_ data scientists can now do their own quick analyses and create their own dashboards.

Give this a go! Many teams across @OpenAI chipped in to make this happen. It reflects a ton of what we have seen change how people work with data within OpenAI and we wanted to give everyone similar capabilities 🙏🏾

The most important part about the way it works is that you can use any of your connectors and data tools that you love directly! The tools should work with all the warehouses and BI tools you want. It’s been great to work with so many of our partners to bring their capabilities to @ChatGPT and many more coming soon!

I think we will look back to this moment as one that changed what people outside the labs believed was possible with AI in math and science
We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics. The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
