OpenAI's autonomous agents, known as dots, operate on virtual machines powered by nine-core AMD EPYC 9V74 processors. These cloud-based environments run Debian Linux and come pre-installed with various applications, including Chromium, Blender, GIMP, and Python.
Geekbench 7 testing reveals that the dots achieve a median single-core score of 1,570 and a multi-core score of approximately 8,550. The hardware configuration includes a base clock speed of 2.6GHz and nearly 10GB of memory per instance.
In comparison, Meta's Muse agents utilize a two-core AMD EPYC 9D25 setup with 7.75GB of memory and a 1.5GHz base clock. The dots demonstrate performance levels roughly 1.5 times higher in single-core and 6 times higher in multi-core benchmarks than Muse.
The rising demand for always-on AI agents is driving a need for high-core-count CPUs capable of handling sustained workloads. Future plans for OpenAI include allowing users to scale dot performance by increasing processing speed and adding more agents.
