Hey @GayaniFigma , I think in spirit, when I created MCP, I envisioned an open ecosystem. That to me feels core. Seeing restrictions like this is sad and I hope Figma can get to a point where it’s more open or at least make the process of getting into the allowlist very easy.

I love Smash 64 but I wish I was in it, so I hacked the original game to run in the browser and put myself + 1000 others in Upload yourself at smash dot fun

Introducing ARC AGI 4 Now that GPT-6 Astra has already saturated the Arc AGI 3 benchmarks, it is time we introduce a newer more foundational benchmark to measure frontier intelligence. @AnthropicAI Fable and @ChatGPT Astra are both tied at ~4%. claymath.org/millennium-prob…

Build a plugin once and use it across compatible agent clients. Introducing Agent Plugins, an open standard developed with @awsdevelopers, @cursor_ai, @github, @code, and @vercel that packages Agent Skills and supports MCP server configurations in a shared format.

My favorite quote I heard from @tobi: "If you made something 10% faster, you did something smart. If you made something 100% faster, you just stopped doing something dumb."

Thrilled to announce the MCP 2026-07-28 release. It is one of MCP's biggest yet, built on 18 months of lessons learned. A few highlights: ★ MCP is now stateless, with semantics for multi-round-trip requests. Serving MCP just got much simpler and more scalable. ★ MCP now has extensions. MCP Apps, Tasks, Enterprise Managed Auth, and more. Domain-specific ways to use MCP, plus room for experimental additions. ★ Python, Typescript, C# (soon) SDKs released a v2.0.0 for the new spec with improved ergonomics! But the biggest highlight for me: this release is a true community effort. Individuals and companies alike — Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and many others helped shape this specification. And there's much more. Full details: blog.modelcontextprotocol.io…

had a crazy idea on Friday: port Quake to Roblox. After a /goal, $3000 of Fable tokens and four sleepless nights, meet Robloquake, a function-by-function port of Quake, Quakeworld and mods to luau. Open source and playable in Roblox today

today we’re releasing a limited preview of GPT-5.6 in the OpenAI API. GPT-5.6 Sol is our most capable model ever, and we’re looking forward to expanding access to it through the API in the coming weeks openai.com/index/previewing-…

The release candidate for MCP 2026-07-28 is out. The protocol is now stateless: no handshake, no session id, any request can hit any server instance. Plus extensions as first-class (MCP Apps, Tasks), auth hardening, and a proper deprecation policy so we don't have to do this again. blog.modelcontextprotocol.io…

- Drafted a blog post - Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours. - Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing! - Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite. - LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true. - lol The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.

don't call it vibe coding - that's associated with yolo i smash head on keyboard, not thinking, engineering, building, testing, debugging, iterating. agentic engineering, or just...coding. We move faster, but it's still hard.

I resigned from OpenAI. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn’t an easy call. AI has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I’m proud of what we built together.

GPT-5.4 is launching, available now in the API and Codex and rolling out over the course of the day in ChatGPT. It's much better at knowledge work and web search, and it has native computer use capabilities. You can steer it mid-response, and it supports 1m tokens of context.

always run with xhigh reasoning
This matches my own experience with GPT-5.3-Codex – I basically only run it on xhigh nowadays for all coding tasks. With all the speed improvements too, it doesn't even feel that slow, even at `xhigh`.

Microservices are what happens when your organization has communication problems and you decide the architecture should have them too.
