Version: Retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 (SHA-256 f508dd752cfd8f1b288b2d447c428d6a046d0ea140ba8187f3937a2d5fa699ac). Press release as served on 2026-10-28; dated September 22, 2025. OpenAI's own post on the same announcement could not be retrieved (openai.com refuses direct retrieval from this environment); the cross-family checker should open it or its capture. Retrieved again at admission on 2026-10-30 (SHA-256 ffa6da3512fd4bc20607cc222d5a9cabc868805dc17fb6764d23601774e8d275). Its wording can change; earlier wording is not authenticated.

Reuse: No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution.
Check notes: Candidate pack passage, compute, power and orbit (research/compute-power-orbit). The quotation (16 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 and again at admission on 2026-10-30, in a fresh retrieval (SHA-256 ffa6da3512fd4bc20607cc222d5a9cabc868805dc17fb6764d23601774e8d275; the bytes differ from the pack’s retrieval). Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. A cross-family machine check (2026-10-29/30, item 66) answered the record’s question blind from fresh retrievals and agreed with the record. No human editorial review.
