OpenAI reports 3.1 agent-workdays per human workday and top users spending $7,000+/day on tokens
↗
OpenAI claims it reached its internal "automated research intern" benchmark, with its researchers now consuming 3.1 agent-workdays for every human workday and its highest-spending users paying over $7,000 daily in token costs.
The 3.1 ratio gives a concrete data point on how much autonomous agent labor OpenAI is substituting for human researcher time inside its own workflows. The $7,000+/day token spend from top users signals that heavy agent usage is already economically material for at least some customers, which matters for anyone budgeting API-driven agent pipelines.
