What was said
"OpenAI with the GPT 5.6 release is openly promoting recursive self-improvement. They were openly promoting that Saul, the high-end weight class model in the GPT 5.6 series was being used to post-train Luna, the low end, as an experiment."
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 family includes models named Saul, Terra, Luna, and an Ultra Mode that runs four agents in parallel. Most significantly, OpenAI publicly acknowledged using its highest-capability model to train successor models, marking the first open promotion of recursive self-improvement by a frontier lab. The release includes dramatic improvements in enterprise capabilities and further solidifies OpenAI's pivot from consumer to B2B markets.
