OpenAI: Amp puts AI agents to work beyond code with OpenAI models
See how Amp pushes the frontier of what agents can do with GPT-6 Astra, Ultrafast, GPT-Live-1, and Sign in with ChatGPT.
A startup is using OpenAI's AI models to build agents that help developers with tasks beyond just writing code, including planning, design, and marketing work. The agents can take on larger tasks when users have access to more tokens through integration with ChatGPT, removing the constraint of counting every unit of usage. Faster model performance allows these agents to work more efficiently and check their own work before returning results. This demonstrates how improvements in AI models create opportunities to expand what autonomous agents can accomplish across different types of work.

Epic Games is shifting to an "AI first" development strategy for its collaboration with the Walt Disney Company, letting AI models write all the code and guide all the artwork for an upcoming shooter. That's according to a Bloomberg report, which cites unnamed people familiar with the project who commented on the significant pivot in internal development at the Unreal Engine maker. Human developers will be tasked with managing and guiding code and art assets generated by models such as Anthropic
