Sam Altman has repeatedly emphasized the three layers of value of AGI in various public forums. This post continues the strategic path from the o-series models to personal agents since 2025, previously deeply integrated with ChatGPT personal version, educational programs, and the YC ecosystem.
In terms of capital strategy, OpenAI is directing computing power and credits resources towards research breakthroughs, enterprise incubation (YC), and personal users simultaneously, motivated by the goal of building a closed loop: research provides cutting-edge signals, enterprises expand commercial applications, and personal AGI generates massive personalized data to feed back into the model, creating a multi-layer positive feedback loop.
Similar to OpenAI's previous credits support for tools like Cursor and Perplexity, as well as the deployment of educational programs in multiple countries, the current development of AGI is in a transition phase from general capabilities to personalized goal accelerators. Early platforms are competing for user mindshare and data dominance through multi-channel resource investments.
Essentially, this is about capital concentration: the direction of personal AGI will shift pricing power from enterprise-level deployment to assisting individual daily goals. The mechanism is that each person's unique goals generate irreplaceable interactive data. OpenAI lowers the threshold through credits, accelerating the structural shift from "tool usage" to "personal intelligent partners," forming long-term user stickiness and model optimization advantages.

Research breakthroughs are the most dazzling, but accelerating personal goals changes the lives of most people.
It's easy to give companies credits, but providing personal AGI to everyone is the largest scale leverage.
The closer AGI gets to individuals, the sooner those who embed intelligence into daily goals will reap compound returns.
