This is looking very good wow. Need to try!
Experimenting with a pretty cool way to animate 3D meshes with @OpenAI Astra (High) + ImageGen.
This bunny animation was created with:
🐰 1 mesh
🦴 Astra for rigging
🖼️ ImageGen for animation keyframes
🎬 Astra again for the final animation
No manual keyframing.
Here’s how ↓

Flying to SF next week. Can’t wait to see you at DevDay and incredibly excited by all the stuff and the energy around it. Locked in and cooking.
We were working on the keynote today with @romainhuet and @sama and most of the fun was trying to figure out how to explain it all to you because there is so much good stuff in there that it's a bit ridiculous all in quick succession.
We'll have some things next week already to not keep you waiting so long, but very excited to show you all new things we've been working on and how it will all come together in the coming months.

Plot twist but it’s not if you were using all the native components and had a good iPad app the Duo support is free.
How do you open the Duo simulator???
we should do a boat games week
In 4K
Another boat demo from Astra today. Asked for a sailboat in Blender, then to make it a browser experience, then to implement good water simulation and weather system. Still impressed!

I like days when it's 10 am and I already worked on 5 different projects, made 10 PR and 5 visual demos. OpenAI is really ADHD dreamhouse.
Appshots: my favourite Codex feature is now on Windows too!
They go beyond just a screenshot and grab all the other relevant app metadata and text too.
Appshot away with ⌘ + ⌘ on Mac or Alt + Alt on windows

Another impressive Astra game demo!
I asked Astra to make a realistic WaveRunner game.
It casually came back with this.
What are we even doing.

In honor of GPT-6 community night, here's some of the coolest projects built by the community
Shoutout to everyone who's been sharing what they've built!

biggest loss of the century
In iOS 26, the scroll edge effect default is .soft.
In iOS 27, it is .hard.
Thanks Astra
Very impressive wow
Made a Monaco Grand Prix final lap film with Astra. 🏎️
87 seconds. All 22 F-1 cars. 2,610 frames to render at 4K 30fps.
Codex wrote the scripts to build and animate the Blender scene and also wrote the original stereo soundtrack in Python for engine RPM, gear changes, passing cars and tunnel reverb.
Used High reasoning for this!

What year is it
SwiftUI isn’t native and here’s why SwiftUI apps may sometimes feel janky. It ditches the key element that made animations run so smoothly on iOS since the original iPhone: Core Animation.
In SwiftUI animations run in-app without CA backing. Block the main thread: SwiftUI ball stalls while UIKit’s keeps moving on the render server.

Nice to be able to watch Astra building 3d game assets from my phone.
All thanks to Codex remote control.
So happy to be launching the next round of Codex for OSS 💙
We’re doubling the program to 10,000 grants in total, with $100 Pro plans for maintainers. Please apply, and if you’ve received a grant before, come back and reapply!
To the maintainers putting so much time and care into the software we all build on: thank you.
Excited to support more of you!

If you're wondering how to make games with Astra, I wrote on it on our dev blog for Astra launch:
I plan to write a follow-up on the actual game I'm doing but mostly everything I've been doing (concept arts etc..) is in there.
