Third Moment runs tens of thousands of research agents in parallel
What happened
On October 14, 2026, OpenAI News published a first-hand report on Third Moment Research's practice of running agents for long autonomous research. The report says Third Moment Research used Codex, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6.1 Sol to run 10,000 agents at once, doing autonomous research for 36 to 48 hours straight. The headline sums this up as "10,000 agents running 36+ hours," while the body gives the 36-to-48-hour duration. What has been disclosed so far covers the tools and models used, the scale of parallel agents and the length of autonomous research; no specific research results are given.
