OpenAI internal AI usage surges; new open models and agent capabilities emerge

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI has reported a significant increase in internal AI model usage across various departments, with median output tokens for Codex growing by as much as 56x in Research since November 2025. This surge in token consumption, particularly outside of coding tasks, highlights a deepening integration of AI tools within the company's operations. Concurrently, the open-source AI landscape is seeing advancements, with GLM-5.2 demonstrating strong performance in coding and agent benchmarks, and new specialized models like Ornith-1.0 emerging. Google has also enhanced its Gemini 3.5 Flash model with built-in computer use capabilities, standardizing an action interface for developers. AI

IMPACT Increased internal AI adoption at OpenAI and advancements in open-source models and agent capabilities suggest a maturing AI ecosystem.
