OpenAI's 10,000-agent experiment highlights massive compute advantage · 1 source tracked

A discussion on Reddit highlights the immense computational power and scale of OpenAI's recent agent experiment, which involved 10,000 agents working for 88 hours. This duration equates to nearly a century of continuous work, underscoring the significant advantage that advanced AI combined with abundant compute resources provides. The sheer scale of this effort, even if based on a rumor, is presented as a major point of astonishment, comparable to the AI's problem-solving capabilities. AI
