Get Sam Altman on My First Million

Sam Altman is setting the agenda in AI this week, from launching GPT-5.6 and the new ChatGPT Work Agent on July 9, 2026, to saying OpenAI made many changes after talks with the U.S. government. Two weeks ago OpenAI throttled parts of the GPT-5.6 rollout at the government’s request, and yesterday Altman warned that demand is so high there may be hiccups, so hearing him explain what ships next and why really matters today.

He is also locking in the compute future, unveiling an LLM‑optimized Broadcom inference chip partnership on June 24 and attracting fresh capital like SoftBank’s follow‑on investment on July 1. With DevDay coming September 29, the policies and product direction he lays out now will ripple through every founder’s roadmap.

Altman has not been a guest on My First Million before, though the show has repeatedly covered him and OpenAI during pivotal moments, which makes a first appearance timely and necessary for this audience. If you want real answers on models, safety constraints, and business models that affect your company today, support this nomination now.
