- Formula 1
- Published: 2026-03-03 06:18 Beijing Time
- Summary: - Formula 1 is three competitions in one: a contest between the world’s best drivers at 200 mph, an engineering World Cup where teams of a thousand people spend hundreds of millions of dollars to design cars from scratch, and—as one of our listeners perfectly described it—“The Real Housewives of the garage,” a soap opera of billionaire egos, team politics, and paddock drama that makes for incredible reality television.
- It’s also the world’s most popular annual sports series, with over 827 million fans globally, a fact that would shock most Americans who, until a recent hit Netflix series, had never heard of it.
- Today we tell the story of how a chaotic, deadly, and dysfunctional European series became one of the greatest business stories in sports.
- For decades, brilliant engineers and daring drivers dedicated their lives (and often lost them) to a league controlled for 45 years by one man: a former London car dealer named Bernie Ecclestone, who centralized power and siphoned off billions of dollars while, undeniably, making the sport a success single-handedly.
- Then, the American company Liberty Media acquired the entire enterprise in 2017, assembled a team of Fox Sports and ESPN veterans, and did what Bernie never did—professionalize it.

- Formula 1 is three competitions in one: a 200mph battle of the world’s best race car drivers, the world cup of engineering where thousand-person teams spend…

How to debug a team that isn’t working: the Waterline Model
- Published: 2026-03-03 21:45 Beijing Time
- Summary: - Each week, I answer reader questions about building product, driving growth, and accelerating your career.
- Molly Graham epitomizes the type of person I love working with.
- She spent decades working closely with some of the most successful tech leaders, including Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Chamath Palihapitiya, and Bret Taylor, and more recently (through her Glue Club community), she has guided hundreds of leaders through the messy, lonely, and overwhelming journey inside early-stage and rapidly scaling companies.
- Drawing lessons from these experiences, she’s been able to find patterns that work and don’t, and is better able than anyone I’ve ever met to translate those lessons into powerful and memorable metaphors.
- In her post below, which I suspect will be as iconic as “give away your Legos,” she unpacks, building on our recent podcast conversation, a management framework that will transform how you approach team challenges: the Waterline Model.

Reasoning models struggle to control their chains of thought, and that’s good
- Published: 2026-03-05 18:00 Beijing Time
- Abstract: - As AI agents become capable of increasingly complex and autonomous tasks, reliable oversight of their behavior becomes more critical.
- In line with our principles of iterative deployment, we study how systems behave in real-world settings and continuously refine safeguards as capabilities advance.
- CoT monitoring analyzes the reasoning steps an agent generates while performing a task.
- These reasoning traces can provide a valuable signal during training and deployment, helping monitoring systems identify when an agent’s behavior may be unsafe or not aligned with the user’s intended goals.
- Here, we focus on one such avenue: if an agent can deliberately reshape or obscure its reasoning when it knows it’s being monitored, evaluations could overestimate system alignment or safety, and monitoring systems could become less reliable.
- EN Highlights:
- OpenAI introduces CoT-Control and finds reasoning models struggle to control their chains of thought, reinforcing monitorability as an AI safety safeguard.
- Published: 2026-03-05 18:00 Beijing Time
- Abstract: - The model’s comprehensive safety mitigation approach is similar to previous models in this series, but 5.4 Thinking is the first general-purpose model for which we have implemented mitigations for high-capability cybersecurity concerns.
- The cybersecurity approach builds on the state-of-the-art methods implemented in ChatGPT and the API for GPT-5.3 Codex.
- In this card, we also refer to GPT-5.4 Thinking as gpt-5.4-thinking.
- Note that there is no model named GPT-5.3 Thinking, so the primary baseline model is GPT-5.2 Thinking.
