Has that task accomplished anything yet?
4 comments

I think the OP is in for a rude surprise when the task is “finished”.
It will go somewhat like this:

“You're really not going to like it," observed Codex.

"Tell us!"

"All right, said Codex. "The answer to your Great Question..."

"Yes...!"

"Is..." said Codex, and paused.

"Yes...!"

"Is..."

"Yes...!!!...?"

"Forty-two," said Codex, with infinite majesty and calm.

I bet you've asked Codex for that joke :p
Too soon to tell, give it a billion tokens before we make up our minds
Oh boy, you are far from what it requires, we are probably talking 3B+, but note that this is just codex, obviously codex is also doing automatic adversarial with the regular zoo (gemini-3.1-pro-preview, opus-4.6/4.7, gpt-5.3-codex, minimax-2.7, glm-5.1, mimo-2 (now 2.5) and so-on, you get the gist) :)
what is that task doing???
Interesting is that they had the opportunity to explain but decided that hyping it more made more sense. 3 billion tokens!!1!
The correction question is: what isn't that task doing?
Kept the OP employed for a full extra month at their high AI metric firm, hopefully.
Just making Jensen proud is all.
It made Sam richer.
I don't know their margin so I can't really say, but do we have 8 OpenAI accounts, I doubt they are making that much with us seeing that there isn't a single hour where we don't saturate the accounts.
Wtf are you even talking about? Sam has zero stake in OpenAI.
Of course he doesn't.
