OPENAI ROLLS OUT CHATGPT LIBRARY TO STORE YOUR PERSONAL FILES

ChatGPT's new Library feature allows users to store personal files or images on OpenAI's cloud storage. Available to Plus, Pro, and Business subscribers, the feature is rolling out to customers across the world except in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. ChatGPT will automatically save uploaded or created files. Deleting a chat containing a file will not delete the file saved in Library.

VIBE PHYSICS: THE AI GRAD STUDENT

A professor of physics supervised Claude through a real research calculation from start to finish without ever touching a file to see whether AI could do theoretical physics. This resulted in a technically rigorous, impactful, high-energy theoretical physics paper in two weeks instead of the usual year. While Claude was impressively capable, domain expertise was essential for evaluating its accuracy. AI is still not able to do end-to-end science, but the project proved that it can do frontier science with guidance.

RESEARCH NOTE: WE SPENT 2 HOURS WORKING IN THE FUTURE

The rate of model releases and the number of new evals required next year could be such that keeping informed will be a challenge without effective AI assistance. These AI-augmented workflows need to be understood now before they become necessary. METR ran a tabletop exercise to learn what workflows emerged, what the bottlenecks are, and how much faster researchers will actually be. This post details the lessons learned from the exercise.

FAST REGEX SEARCH: INDEXING TEXT FOR AGENT TOOLS

Providing text search indexes to fast models creates a qualitative difference for Agentic workflows. The impact is more pronounced in larger Enterprise repositories because grep latency scales with the size and complexity of the code being worked on. Removing the time spent searching the code base provides meaningful time savings and allows for much more effective iteration, particularly when the Agent is investigating a bug.
