OpenAI keeps the loop short and applied: a couple of medium-hard algorithm problems, then a practical build round. Expect graph and design questions with follow-ups on how you would ship, measure and debug the thing in production.
Across the 18 questions on this page, the weight sits on these patterns:
This sheet collects 18 OpenAI interview questions, grouped into 10 patterns. They are questions reported as actually asked in OpenAI interviews, and each one carries how recently it was reported so you can practise the current set first.
Design, Binary Search, Breadth-First Search come first — the patterns on this page are ordered by how often OpenAI leans on them, so working top-down spends your time where the interview actually is. The full order is Design, Binary Search, Breadth-First Search, Bit Manipulation, Depth-First Search, Topological Sort.
At roughly 25 minutes per problem — reading it, solving it and writing the approach down — 18 problems is about 8 hours, or 1 weeks at ten hours a week. Most people do not need all of it: the first two or three patterns cover the majority of what gets asked.
Yes. Every problem, the pattern grouping and the progress tracking are free and need no account. Progress saves in your browser, and signing in with Google only adds syncing across devices.
Yes — tick a problem on this page and it stays ticked. The counts per pattern update as you go, so you can see which of OpenAI's topics you have actually covered rather than guessing.
