On November 2, 2026, OpenAI signed four agreements with multiple Abu Dhabi institutions to deploy its AI models in the government, energy, investment, and education sectors. Previously, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. On the energy side, ADNOC, G42 subsidiary Inception42, and OpenAI are collaborating to run GPT models on inference infrastructure within the UAE, and ADNOC said it became the first company in the energy industry to deploy OpenAI's frontier AI technology. On the government side, the Abu Dhabi government and OpenAI launched the Machine-Readable Government initiative to convert some policies and regulations into machine-readable formats; the first pilot has already been used at the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority for food import assessments, with officials retaining final decision-making authority. According to Yicai, the four agreements respectively cover ADNOC and Inception42's energy business, the Abu Dhabi government's "Machine-Readable Government" project, Mubadala's investment analysis, and a five-year enterprise-level AI promotion partnership between Inception42 and OpenAI; none of the contract amounts were disclosed.

MIT Study: GPT-6 Astra Can Directly Rewrite Other Models' Weights Without Retraining
MIT researchers have published a study showing that OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra can improve some AI models by directly rewriting model weights, without going through the training process. Alibaba's small Qwen model originally scored 7.9% on math; Astra modified only 0.016% of the weights to reduce the repetitive-output problem, and after the fix the score reached 48.1%. The same method applied to Google's Gemma 3 had limited effect, with its math score barely changing. The authors say this capability could in the future allow AI to upgrade itself, add or remove skills for other models on demand, or check for hidden problems.
