OpenAI’s Head of ChatGPT: We’re entering a new era of AI (again) | Tibo Sottiaux

We covered the launch of dots last week, and this interview adds OpenAI's reasoning behind it rather than a new product. Tibo Sottiaux, who leads ChatGPT at OpenAI, told Lenny Rachitsky at DevDay that he expects most actions people take on the internet to move to agents. The more pointed claim concerns how agents are built today. Sottiaux argued that hand-written workflow scaffolding, such as fixed loops and orchestration graphs, is temporary, and that more of that structure will be handled by the model itself. For teams deciding what to invest in, that is a direct statement of where one major lab expects the work to go. It is also a prediction from a company that sells the models, so it should be weighed against the reliability teams see today. A reasonable reading is to keep orchestration code thin and easy to remove, and to put effort into evaluations and tool quality that survive a change in model behavior.
