Training frontier AI models is, at its core, a coordination problem. Thousands of chips must communicate with each other continuously, synchronizing every gradient update across the network. When one chip fails or even slows down, the entire training run can stall. As models scale toward hundreds of billions of parameters, that fragility becomes increasingly untenable.

OpenAI has released GPT-5.5, its most capable model to date and the first fully retrained base model since GPT-4.5. GPT-5.5 is designed to complete complex, multi-step computer tasks with minimal human direction. Think of it as the difference between an assistant who needs a checklist and one who understands the underlying goal and figures out

In this tutorial, we explore the implementation of OpenMythos, a theoretical reconstruction of the Claude Mythos architecture that enables deeper reasoning through iterative computation rather than increased parameter size. We build and analyze models using both GQA and MLA attention mechanisms, examine memory efficiency through KV-cache comparisons, and validate stability via the spectral properties of
