The launch of GPT-5.6 has reignited the public dispute between Sam Altman and Elon Musk on Twitter. The exchange involved Altman highlighting GPT-5.6's performance and Musk criticizing OpenAI's practices, with Altman retorting about Musk's own ventures.
“Now, one of the exciting things about 5.6 is it renewed the Sam versus Elon Twitter battle.”
“So Sam tweeted, there are a lot of benchmarks that suggest 5.6 Soul is the best model in the world right now, but the most reliable way to tell is that Elon is obsessed with me again.”
“This was in reply to something we'll touch on a little later about Apple suing Open AI.”
“But Elon had tweeted that, um, you take scamming to a whole new level.”
