OpenAI has released Symphony, an open-source specification for turning issue trackers such as Linear into control planes for Codex coding agents.
Instead of asking an AI tool for help with one coding problem at a time, Symphony is designed to let agents pick up work from an issue tracker, run in separate workspaces, monitor CI, and prepare changes for human review.
In a blog post, OpenAI said the system grew out of a bottleneck it encountered as engineers began running multiple Codex sessions. Engineers could manage only three to five sessions before context switching became painful, the company said, limiting the productivity gains from faster coding agents.
OpenAI said the impact was visible quickly, with some internal teams seeing landed pull requests rising 500% in the first three weeks.
The orchestration layer can monitor issue states, restart agents that crash or stall, manage per-issue workspaces, watch CI, rebase changes, resolve conflicts, and shepherd pull requests toward rev
Inference efficiency has quietly become one of the most consequential bottlenecks in AI deployment. As agentic coding systems such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor scale from developer tools to infrastructure powering software development at large, the underlying inference engines serving those requests are under increasing strain. The LightSeek Foundation researchers have released TokenSpeed, an […]

The week leading up to Thanksgiving 2023 was the AI industry's biggest soap opera moment. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was abruptly ousted from his role at the ChatGPT-maker. The explanation? That Altman was "not consistently candid in his communications with the board." Now, via witness testimony and trial exhibits in Musk v. Altman, the public is getting a concrete look behind the scenes of that dramatic weekend for the first time, much of it centered on former CTO Mira Murati.
It was a unique situation in that the rollercoaster of a power play - which seemed to change every hour - took place, in many ways, publicly. The board's strikingly vague …

OpenAI is launching an optional safety feature for ChatGPT that allows adult users to assign an emergency contact for mental health and safety concerns. Friends, family members, or caregivers designated as a "Trusted Contact" will be notified if OpenAI detects that a person may have discussed topics like self-harm or suicide with the chatbot.
"Trusted Contact is designed around a simple, expert-validated premise: when someone may be in crisis, connecting with someone they know and trust can make a meaningful difference," OpenAI said in its announcement. "It offers another layer of support alongside the localized helplines already available …
