GPT-5 rollout updates: *We are going to double GPT-5 rate limits for ChatGPT Plus users as we finish rollout. *We will let Plus users choose to continue to use 4o. We will watch usage as we think about how long to offer legacy models for. *GPT-5 will seem smarter starting today. Yesterday, the autoswitcher broke and was out of commission for a chunk of the day, and the result was GPT-5 seemed way dumber. Also, we are making some interventions to how the decision boundary works that should help you get the right model more often. *We will make it more transparent about which model is answering a given query. *We will change the UI to make it easier to manually trigger thinking. *Rolling out to everyone is taking a bit longer. It’s a massive change at big scale. For example, our API traffic has about doubled over the past 24 hours… We will continue to work to get things stable and will keep listening to feedback. As we mentioned, we expected some bumpiness as we roll out so many things at once. But it was a little more bumpy than we hoped for!

Game changer!
Introducing our first set of Llama 4 models! We’ve been hard at work doing a complete re-design of the Llama series. I’m so excited to share it with the world today and mark another major milestone for the Llama herd as we release the *first* open source models in the Llama 4 collection 🦙. Here are some highlights: 📌 The Llama series have been re-designed to use state of the art mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture and natively trained with multimodality. We’re dropping Llama 4 Scout & Llama 4 Maverick, and previewing Llama 4 Behemoth. 📌 Llama 4 Scout is highest performing small model with 17B activated parameters with 16 experts. It’s crazy fast, natively multimodal, and very smart. It achieves an industry leading 10M token context window and can also run on a single GPU! 📌 Llama 4 Maverick is the best multimodal model in its class, beating GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash across a broad range of widely reported benchmarks, while achieving comparable results to the new DeepSeek v3 on reasoning and coding – at less than half the active parameters. It offers a best-in-class performance to cost ratio with an experimental chat version scoring ELO of 1417 on LMArena. It can also run on a single host! 📌 Previewing Llama 4 Behemoth, our most powerful model yet and among the world’s smartest LLMs. Llama 4 Behemoth outperforms GPT4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, and Gemini 2.0 Pro on several STEM benchmarks. Llama 4 Behemoth is still training, and we’re excited to share more details about it even while it’s still in flight. A big thanks to all of our launch partners (full list in blog) for helping us bring Llama 4 to developers everywhere including @huggingface, @togethercompute, @SnowflakeDB, @ollama, @databricks and many others👏 This is just the start, we have more models coming and the team is really cooking – look out for Llama 4 Reasoning 😉 A few weeks ago, we celebrated Llama being downloaded over 1 billion times. Llama 4 demonstrates our long-term commitment to open source AI, the entire open source AI community, and our unwavering belief that open systems will produce the best small, mid-size and soon frontier models. Llama would be nothing without the global open source AI community & we are so ready to begin this next chapter with you. 🦙 Read more about the release here: llama.com/, and try it in our products today.

#2 Agent hype becomes real, for real people Everyone is always talking about agents, but the big breakthroughs have yet to happen In 2025 we will see at least one primordial AI agent gain significant consumer adoption There will be a 2022 ChatGPT moment, but for agents 4/8

Since ChatGPT dropped in 2022, AI progress has been dramatic. But it's also been predictable—new models, bigger chip clusters, more chatbots. Not in 2025. Here are the three big changes to watch for over the next 12 months 🧵 1/8

Been playing with o1 and o1-pro for bit. They are very good & a little weird. They are also not for most people most of the time. You really need to have particular hard problems to solve in order to get value out of it. But if you have those problems, this is a very big deal.

One of THE largest personas datasets dropped in @huggingface 🤯 21 Million rows and 142GB 🤯 FinePersonas contains detailed personas for creating customized, realistic synthetic data. So now you can integrate unique persona traits into text generation apps. ------- What's a Persona? A persona is a detailed description of an individual’s characteristics, background, and goals, designed to reflect diverse identities and experiences. In the context of FinePersonas, each persona represents a unique set of attributes that can enrich synthetic data. For example, a persona might describe: A network engineer with a focus on routing protocols and preparing for Cisco certification exams, particularly CCNA.
