ILYA SUTSKEVER – WE'RE MOVING FROM THE AGE OF SCALING TO THE AGE OF RESEARCH

This post contains a transcript of an interview with Ilya Sutskever, former chief scientist at OpenAI and co-founder of Safe Superintelligence. In the interview, he discusses model jaggedness, emotions and value functions, why humans generalize better than models, alignment, and more. Sutskever says that current models generalize dramatically worse than people and that it is a very fundamental thing. Scaling has gotten big - it's time to get back to research to continue creating improvements.

CHATGPT 5.1 CODEX MAX

OpenAI's GPT-5.1-Codex-Max enhances capabilities over GPT-5.1-Codex, showing improved performance in SWE-bench-verified, SWE-Lancer-IC SWE, and Terminal-Bench 2.0. It advances task persistence, cybersecurity preparations, and introduces Windows training, while network access remains disabled by default for security. Despite substantial internal evaluation progress, external reviews show mixed cybersecurity capabilities, yet highlight advances in AI self-improvement tasks and overall code efficiency.
