Our general-purpose reasoning models solved all 12 problems at the 2025 International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Finals, the world’s top university programming competition which was enough for a 1st-place human ranking.

GPT-5 is what you’ve been waiting for – it defines and extends the cost-intelligence frontier across model sizes today. it’s been a long journey, and we’ve landed pivotal improvements across many axes in the whole GPT-5 family. and hey no more model picker (by default)!
Here at @OpenAI we've cracked pretraining, then reasoning, and now we're experimenting with a new set of techniques that maximally leverage their interaction. GPT-5 is just the first step in this direction, and we're incredibly excited to see where scaling this up will lead us!
GPT-5 is here. Rolling out to everyone starting today. openai.com/gpt-5/
Our open models are here. Both of them. openai.com/open-models
We released two open-weight reasoning models—gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b—under an Apache 2.0 license. Developed with open-source community feedback, these models deliver meaningful advancements in both reasoning capabilities & safety. openai.com/index/introduc…
Recently, there has been a lot of talk of LLM agents automating ML research itself. If Llama 5 can create Llama 6, then surely the singularity is just around the corner. How can we get a pulse check on whether current LLMs are capable of driving this kind of total…
