Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Consider Jalapeño for controlled evaluation if access becomes available.

Why
Working silicon has credible laboratory results, while production reliability and performance on long, multi-turn workloads remain unproven.
Next
Require tests on your model and traffic mix, measured system power, sustained reliability data and confirmed availability before committing deployment capacity.

Constraints

Blockers

  • External availability is unconfirmed; OpenAI's internal compute demand takes priority.
  • Production qualification and software maturation remain underway.
  • Independent long-context, multi-turn workload validation is unresolved.
  • Fleet reliability and sustained operational economics are not established.
  • New model families require additional kernels and model-specific optimization.
