OpenAI builds for capabilities 2–3 months ahead

AI’s third era: the rise of persistent AI coworkers | Tara Seshan (OpenAI’s product lead)
Lennys Podcast
Tara Seshan describes ChatGPT’s progression from chat to agents to persistent AI coworkers, with ChatGPT Work using Codex capabilities for knowledge-work tasks.
- OpenAI product teams build for model capabilities expected in two to three months; Tara Seshan says building for current models or for models expected a year ahead is “equally wrong.”
- ChatGPT Work and Codex use the same underlying capabilities; Work removes coding-oriented UI such as worktrees and exposes less technical detail, while Codex can perform the same tasks, including generating financial models and revenue predictions.
- Codex supports
/visualize, which can turn a request such as “Visualize my ChatGPT usage until now” into a visualization using the user’s ChatGPT activity and charts.

Dharmesh Shah commented that YouSpot is entirely a HubSpot project within HubSpot Next. Its goal is to create a product built from the ground up for the low end of the SMB market—specifically one-person companies—to create customer value in this fast-growing segment and provide HubSpot with a strategic defense against low-end disruption. All value created with YouSpot accrues to HubSpot.

I built a Claude Cowork system that does a week of PM work in a day
How I AI Podcast
Daniel Blum uses Claude Cowork, Notion, Slack, Gmail, calendar data, and Granola meeting transcripts in a self-improving PM workflow that creates and maintains his weekly priorities, daily brief, context files, and task inbox; he says it lets him complete in one day work that previously took a week.
- Daniel Blum’s Sunday “weekly prep” recurring task pulls from Notion, calendar, Slack, and Granola transcripts, recommends additions or removals for “Top of Mind,” “This Week,” and “Inbox,” prepares him for upcoming meetings, and writes the confirmed plan into his Notion board.
- His daily Claude Cowork morning brief reviews recent Slack messages, emails, and Granola notes; it identifies company terms, files, milestones, or goals missing from its context—such as “the settlement cap”—asks Daniel Blum whether to save them, and adds approved definitions to context files.
- Daniel Blum says he manages about 70% to 80% of his computer-based work through Claude Cowork; Melio’s “Workstation” plugin onboards employees in about 15 minutes by connecting tools, mapping colleagues and management, reviewing calendar and Slack context, capturing goals, and creating an individual writing voice.

Guillermo Rauch commented on JFrog’s disclosure of CVE-2026-82329, a CVSS 9.8 authentication bypass in Artifactory that he says affects default configurations and requires no authentication or user interaction. He said there was no official confirmation connecting the vulnerability to reports of agents discovering zero-days and characterized the possibility that agents discovered and exploited it as speculation.

Thariq commented that securing enough compute to make the 25% permanent was difficult and described the weekly-limits change as a net loss from current limits. Most users hit the unchanged 5-hour limits, and he said he would try to post a clarification the following day.
#6 𝕏
Sebastian Raschka said he added a `uv.lock` to help a little but cautioned that excessive pinning can cause issues. He noted that some people cannot run a specific version because of CUDA compatibility with specific drivers, and that the default works for most people, but not everyone.
#7 𝕏
Philipp Schmid shared text advocating the removal of obsolete paths rather than preserving backward compatibility, and rejecting compatibility layers, fallbacks, or mitigations. The text references AGENTS.md, though it is unclear whether it was added to the file.

How to Use Claude Code to Get UNLIMITED Leads in 6 Mins | Best Lead Scraping Tool
Helena Liu
Claude Code installs the ScrapeGraphAI GitHub repository and uses an OpenAI API key to scrape up to 10,000 U.S. accounting-related leads into a CSV from a plain-English prompt.
- An OpenAI API key is created at platform.openai.com under API keys; the video uses OpenAI’s “400 nano” lower-tier model rather than Claude because its token cost is stated to be lower for lead scraping.
- Claude Code receives the ScrapeGraphAI GitHub URL with the prompt, “I want to scrape Unlimited Leads. Can you please help me install this GitHub repository?”, then installs the repository locally and prompts for an API key.
- A request for accountants, bookkeepers, and tax-prep services in the United States produced roughly 9,000-plus leads in under an hour; ScrapeGraphAI is stated to handle up to 10,000 leads at once, take about 30–90 minutes, and cost about $2–$3 for 10,000 leads.

Marc Baselga commented on Stripe’s reported agreement to acquire OpenRouter for more than $7 billion, noting the deal has not yet closed. OpenRouter routes requests across more than 400 AI models from over 80 providers based on factors such as job, price, speed, and reliability, and already uses Stripe for payments, billing, tax, and fraud.
#10 𝕏
Sebastian Raschka commented that reasoning models can offer different reasoning-effort settings, with many or most also providing a “None” setting.

Clement Delangue commented that cyber defense involves detection, understanding, containment, and remediation, with this issue taking a few days rather than minutes or hours because the team deemed it not highly critical. He said an initial cut was performed Monday, more than a week before OAI realized there was a problem; GLM then helped identify the backdoors so they could be cut, agents continued probing after the doors were closed, and open models enabled detection and understanding without asking permission or sharing what he called “our most important confidential data.”
