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. [image]

@mcbyrne Yes, we will turn it off in that very unlikely event, but we believe the U.S. government is an institution that does its best to follow law and policy. What we won't do is turn it off because we disagree with a particular (legal military) decision. We trust their authority.

@chatgpt21 I can't speak for them, but to speculate with the best understanding of the situation. *First, I saw reporting that they were extremely close on a deal, and for much of the time both sides really wanted to reach one. I have seen what happens in tense negotiations when things get

@mreiffy @Jack_Raines The main reason for the rush was an attempt to de-escalate matters at a time when it felt like things could get extremely hot. I am confident in our team's ability to build a safe system with all of their tools—including policy and legal matters, but also many technical layers.

For a long time, we were planning to non-classified work only.  We thought the DoW clearly needed an AI partner, and doing classified work is clearly much more complex.  We have said no to previous deals in classified settings that Anthropic took.  We started talking with the DoW many months ago about our non-classified work.  This week things shifted into high gear...

@captgouda24 I don't think this will happen. But of course if we are confident it's unconstitutional, we wouldn't follow it. The constitution is more important than any job, or staying out of jail, or whatever. In my experience, the people in our military are far more committed to the

@DouthatNYT Yes; I think it is an extremely scary precedent and I wish they handled it a different way. I don't think Anthropic handled it well either, but as the more powerful party, I hold the government more responsible. I am still hopeful for a much better resolution.
