“We're talking about roughly a 10x increase in load on some systems. At most companies, that kind of growth might happen over two or three years. At OpenAI, we see it in about six months.”

“We're now seeing agentic code reviews that look at code changes through a series of different lenses. In the past, it would have been impractical for a cloud infrastructure engineer and a security engineer to review every single code change. With agents, that becomes possible.”

“We are building an agent that "handholds" a change all the way to production — whether it's a code change or a change behind a feature flag. It observes the relevant monitoring graphs, but can also build its own dashboard to monitor important signals. More of our code changes are going to production with this kind of agent monitoring.”
