English

OpenAI is experiencing significant research acceleration, particularly in Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) and agentic engineering, as indicated by a notable increase in AI spending per researcher since late July 2026. This shift coincided with internal access to the new model, GPT-6 Astra, which is being utilized by OpenAI's research team through coding agents.
