Sam Altman says GPT-5.6 outperforms physicians and taunts Musk as proof of lead

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made two pointed claims about GPT-5.6 on Saturday: citing a study in which physicians found fewer flaws in GPT-5.6 responses than in physician-written responses, and quipping that the most reliable signal the model is the world's best is that Elon Musk has become obsessed with him again. The dual posts — one data-driven, one deliberately trolling — reflect a wider public sparring match between Altman and Musk, with Altman also firing back at Musk over comments about short-term space datacenters and public-market investors.

Separately, Altman offered a notably optimistic read on AI's macroeconomic impact, writing that despite expecting some labor-market disruption at current capability levels, he now believes AI has been net job-creating so far — a reversal of the conventional narrative and one he acknowledged he did not anticipate.
