Danny and Alex explore OpenAI tools while trying to cook ramen, with help from an always-on Dot and a voice-powered sous chef. They discuss features including Codex Cloud, Spaces, and the refreshed Codex CLI, then build a ramen simulator game for the Mod Retro. The guests also review community projects, including a retro game, a decoded message attributed to Napoleon, and a horse-racing game. After playing their own game, the group reveals that a guest had prepared the ramen they eat.

  • Dot is described as an always-on persistent agent that can help with tasks such as checking in guests, sending emails, and preparing a recipe.
  • Codex Cloud lets people work in a customizable cloud environment.
  • Spaces gives a Dot a place to organize its thoughts and collaborate with a user.
  • The refreshed Codex CLI includes a full-screen interface, agent tracking, conversation forking into a separate work tree, and terminal interaction.
  • The hosts use a voice-powered sous chef and describe GPT live one as a full-duplex model that waits rather than interrupting when someone trails off.
  • The group creates a ramen simulator game for the Mod Retro, with ingredient collection and cooking as its central gameplay.
  • Guests discuss how they connect Dots to services and receive timely email reminders.
  • The community builds featured include a retro game, an AI-assisted decoding of a historical message, and a game where drawn horses race.
  • The episode ends with the group playing the ramen game and eating ramen prepared by a guest.

00:00 I think you’re the only qualified cook in this kitchen. >> [laughter] >> Welcome to Cooked from OpenAI. >> doing [music] my way never did it by [singing] the book. Let me cook. Now let me >> I’m Danny. >> I’m Alex. >> And today we have a lot of things on the menu. Dots, ChatGPT spaces, and many other things from OpenAI Dev Day we want to try ourselves. [music] How confident are we in this recipe? >> They were pretty confident. I took a bunch of pictures of all the ingredients and sent them to my dot and I think he is on the task. So, see how this turns

00:31 out. >> Speaking about dots. >> Dot is your always on persistent agent. In [music] this case, our dot has been running in the background, running interference for us for checking in guests, sending emails, and of course putting [music] this recipe together. Now there was another big launch at Dev Day and that was Codex Cloud. Codex Cloud [music] lets you work inside the cloud in your own environment that you and your team can fully set up and customize so that you can close your laptop.

01:02 The other thing I’m really excited about is spaces. Spaces gives your dot a place to actually write its thoughts [music] and a place for you to collaborate with your dot. He has everything in a space right now that he’s preparing for us and we’re just going to have a look at the space, follow the steps, and see what happens. >> Before I continue cooking, a word from my [music] sponsors. >> Our sponsor. >> Introducing the refreshed Codex CLI. A new full-screen look. Keep tabs on your agents. Fork a conversation into a separate work tree. And now, talk to

01:32 your terminal. >> [music] >> How do we cook like no sites ever cooked before? >> Oh, I love the energy. Let’s invent, not imitate. [music] >> Update and keep cooking. Please consult your existing side projects before starting another. >> We’re back and we have our sous chef here with us. >> Ooh, the chaos twins return. Welcome back to Cooked where Alex and Danny pretend they know where the ginger is. >> That’s not very nice. >> That’s not nice at all. >> It’s nicer than your nice skills, [music] but not by much. Let’s make this >> Hey, hey, hey. Can you just walk us through this recipe

02:04 for today? >> We don’t know how to cook. >> Okay, chef. Resetting. Let’s identify those [music] decanted seasonings. >> What’s this one? You want to pass it to me? I think this is paprika. All right. I checked out the seasoning. That is definitely chili. >> Okay, excellent. Get those eggs simmering about 11 to 12 minutes. We’ll ice them after. Chop two garlic cloves. We’ll warm garlic and ginger in a touch of oil. No browning. >> All right. So, our sous chef here is powered by GPT live one, which is [music] our frontier model for voice,

02:35 and it is a full duplex model, which means that when I trail off like this [music] or say um, it actually doesn’t interrupt me. Right, Jeff? >> Yeah. I was waiting my turn. Gold star for not talking over you. Okay, back to the stove. >> All right. Let’s do it. >> We’ll do it. >> Matthew. You’ve been following us as we’ve been cooking here. How do you think we’re doing? >> Yeah, it’s pretty good so far. Definitely looks like ramen. >> Thanks. >> Thanks. >> I think Brian’s here somewhere, too, right? >> Yeah, I’m here. >> Oh my god.

03:06 >> I was in the kitchen basement. >> So, Dots came out last week. We’ve been using [music] it a ton. We want to hear how you guys have been using your Dots. >> Yeah, I mean, the first thing I did was obviously connect it [music] to all the different services I use. Last night before filming, we got emails of instructions. Now, I was in bed and it popped up with a message saying, “Hey, you just got this email. You probably should know about it for your film tomorrow.” So, it’s been great. >> Guys, we have a challenge for you.

03:36 >> Have you heard of one shot? >> Absolutely. >> You guys are going to one shot these shots, which is ingredients from the kitchen, fresh ginger, and then you are going to build a game with ultrafast on the new mod retros. Are you ready? >> Here we go. >> it. >> All right. Here’s mine. >> Let’s do it. >> Yeah, okay. We’re going to make a game. Okay, we want to make a ramen simulator game [music] for the mod retro and we want it to be obviously a bit

04:07 >> Give me a character select screen where I can choose any of the dots. >> The goal of the game is [music] to collect the different ingredients, put it all together and make the best bowl of ramen possible. Hey, it’s moving. Yeah, we’re getting there. >> You could say we’re cooking. All right, Matt. You want to keep chopping the garlic? >> Absolutely. >> Thank you. Thank you. I think you’re the only qualified cook in this kitchen. >> I I am far from it. >> Actually, I don’t know about you, Brian. >> No, no, no, no. Don’t even ask. >> If we’re ready, if we got it going, we have the emulator running here.

04:37 >> We have dialogue options. >> Okay, gather fridge, cook, chop, [music] okay. >> Get in front of that fridge. Come on. >> No! >> There we go. >> We got the ingredients. >> Fresh ingredients, noodles, and [music] miso broth. >> Soft egg, mushroom. Uh, you got to get that soft egg, man. >> And now I go [music] in for the chashu, sorry. >> [laughter] >> For the broth, are we doing a gentle boil or a rolling boil? >> Ooh. It’s rolling for me. >> Okay, rolling it is. >> Stir clockwise. >> This mod retro and like pixelization presentation, it makes me feel both that

05:08 I’m in the future [music] and the past. >> A little overdone, still tasty. >> Hey, you’re not Danny. >> No, I’m Fede. I work at Developer Community at OpenAI. >> Of course. >> So, we’re going to do a little community section. We’ve been watching all the builds that you guys had on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. So, today we’re going to bring a few of these community builds and [music] see what you think about it. >> Is it cooked or is it undercooked? >> Yeah, we even have pre-made cards for it. >> Yeah, this is super official. I’m ready. >> Don’t make [music] me use this. >> Bet it. What are we looking at here today? >> So, this is a very cool retro game built

05:38 with [music] GPT-3 6.1 saw. >> That’s pretty cool. What do you guys think? >> You know, I actually think this is super impressive. [music] It’s detailed. It has the retro vibes. I am probably going to go home and recreate this myself. I’m going [music] to say it’s cooked just right. >> All right. We’d love to see it. >> Ryan? >> No, Cosman, great job. You cooked it. >> Yeah. >> Really well done. This is one of my favorite community builds that I think I’ve ever seen. Carter Church here has used Astra to actually decode a message that Napoleon had sent all the way back in the day that’s remained unsolved for,

06:09 I guess, what? 2 or 300 years? >> What do you guys think? >> Yeah, definitely. And I already see Brian reaching for his card, so I’m going to let you go first. >> [laughter] >> Napoleon could have never predicted this. This is ridiculous. >> You did great. Cooked. >> Yeah, you know, I just like the cool factor on it. Definitely opening up history for a broader audience. >> Almost 5 million views. >> Pretty good. >> Perfect. >> So, for this next one, we have a pretty cool horse racing game that went pretty viral where you draw your character and just let it run and win the race. What do you guys think? >> The actual game is you’re drawing the

06:42 horse and depending on how you draw it, makes it go faster, slower. [music] >> Exactly. >> Yeah, forget that. I’m going to go first on this one, especially because, uh, you know, the guy who made it is right there. I’m going to say cooked. >> There’s >> [applause and cheering] >> There’s not much more to say. Double cooked. >> Oh! First time for that. There you go. >> All right, then. To close this out, we are going to do our catch of the day. >> Keep that in. >> We’re going to pick our favorite builds and talk [music] about it a little bit. So, for me, it was definitely the

07:12 Napoleon letter better. What was yours? >> Yeah, that’s that’s I think the the coolest. >> I’m going to go with the first one. I I liked the retro space shooting game. I that’s like right up my alley. I’m going to play it when I get home. >> And I’m loving this horse racing [music] game, honestly. >> All right. Napoleon wins. >> Napoleon wins. >> Again. >> Again? >> He can’t keep getting away with >> That’s been catch [laughter] of the day. >> All right, Matt. I think the mod retro has finally loaded our game. Are you excited to see what’s going on? >> Yeah, let’s play it. >> All right, let’s do it. Here you go. >> Thank you. All right, so we got the little blue dot. >> [music]

07:42 >> I got to go to the fridge. >> Matt, get the soft egg this time. >> Yeah, for sure. >> Yeah, stir clockwise. >> Clockwise. Silky broth, perfect noodles. Nice. Better than last time. >> Yeah, buddy. >> Good job. >> Didn’t you put an egg in there? >> Nah, shh. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, really cool. Congrats, everyone. We did it. >> Yeah. >> [applause] [cheering] >> All right, so Alex, we’ve been at this for a little bit. I smell all the delicious ingredients. I’ve actually gotten [music] quite hungry. What can we do about this? >> Yeah, I think we got a little little carried away talking about dots [music] and dub day. Um but I think we actually

08:13 did cook something up, didn’t we, Fedor? >> Yeah, I came prepared. >> Ooh, okay. >> Here we go. Wow, that is beautiful. Did we [music] cook this? We absolutely cooked this. Yes, everyone nod. Everyone nod. >> yeah. >> Yes, we cooked that. It looks beautiful. Fedor, you want to >> We actually [music] cooked with this one, boys. >> Look at that. Yeah, put it right on the laptop. That’s our fix right here. >> Smells excellent. >> Looks beautiful, too. >> I can’t [music] believe we cooked that. >> Matt, how is it? >> It’s actually really good. >> [laughter]

08:43 >> Yeah. >> Oh, Danny, you’re back. Where’d Fedor go? Never mind. Anyways, guys, this has been cooked. Thank you so much for joining us, and thank you [music] to our special guest, Matt and Brian. We had a great time. Played some games, made some memories. We’ll see you again next time. Thank you. >> [music] >> Always did it my [singing] way, never did it by the book. Let me cook. Now, let me cook. Just let me cook. Let me
