OpenAI says it hit its "automated research intern" goal, its researchers now use 3.1 agent-workdays per human workday, and top users spend $7,000+/day on tokens (OpenAI)
OpenAI is putting numbers on how much agent labor now sits inside its own research workflow.
The company says it has reached the “automated research intern” goal it announced last fall. Its researchers now use 3.1 agent-workdays per human workday, with use rising fastest among heavy users. Techmeme’s note also points to OpenAI’s claim that top users are spending more than $7,000 a day on tokens, and to its stated goal of an automated AI researcher by March 2028. Techmeme's note
