I’ve been using gpt-4-1106-preview from the API (mostly to use retrieval) and it’s insanely slow. I can submit something and watch a YouTube it takes so long sometimes. I can’t imagine the issues they’re having trying to scale this, present drama excluded.

As a paid ChatGPT user for many months now I’m glad they move so fast making the service better. I happily take that over a slowly improving but always reliable service. Let reliability come later. For now it’s great they move fast even at the cost of service disruption.

If this was GitHub (or even X or Threads) that went down, you would never see a comment like this: "As a paid GitHub user for many months now I’m glad they move so fast making the service better.

Most people don’t rely on ChatGPT for production work flows like they do for GitHub. Of course users are going to have different expectations for different services.

`gpt-4-0314` gives me

"openai.InternalServerError: Error code: 500 - {'error': {'message': 'The server had an error processing your request. Sorry about that!

Maybe you would see these comments if github actually innovated fast. They could make a search that finds what you are looking for, for instance.

It depends what it is! GitHub is basically infrastructure so yes.. but I'll take the tradeoff with chat gpt

Totally agree. GitHub is definitely a more core service that more people rely on than ChatGPT (plus if you're like me you just use Claude until they fix the issue).

That's because GitHub haven't really innovated in years.

They have some good icing (actions is pretty good) but the cake is still just a boxed cake mix from 2010.
