Sam Altman: RSI, AI Consciousness, OpenAI's New Hardware, Compute, and more!
Matthew Berman showed 6 AI tools in this video on . 2 are verified available in the EU. Each row below jumps to the exact second. Part of week 2026-43.

Altman describes recent math proofs and discoveries from OpenAI's internal models as the start of AI producing significant new knowledge, expecting similar results in biology, materials and energy. He says no widely available model comes close to the math results.
Berman says his editor started using Astra to edit videos, no longer touching the timeline, and they now produce more videos.
Mentioned as a tool companies could use, along with API credits, to do scientific work like discovering new materials. Altman says he hasn't read a line of code in about a year.
Personal AI assistant by Peter Steinberger that Berman credits with starting the 2026 personal-assistant wave. Altman says his own assistant (called Dot) saves him about an hour a day and flags urgent items, but needs more product work, compute and possibly new hardware.
Altman calls OpenAI's own chip and its descendants the most important single bet for far cheaper, more efficient compute, alongside robots helping build data center racks.
Altman says AI wants a new form factor because laptops and phones were designed for people, and ambient context needs new hardware. He says he has seen early hardware but won't show it or share details.
