OpenAI agents do 3 days of work in one

OpenAI

OpenAI has reached its automated research intern milestone with agents now handling 3.1 workdays of research per human workday, though the company admits it doesn't yet know how to safely achieve full recursive self-improvement. Researchers are spending $600-$7,000 daily on inference as the company targets fully automated AI research by March 2028.
