Between purchasing chat.com, and this new 800 number, I sometimes feel like OpenAI is really channeling that 90s dot com era energy.

Feels like something Google would do in the early days, but not now.

I hope they introduce a way to use Plus plan features/models. Would be neat to do quick queries in WhatsApp and forward results to friends & family without context switching/copy pasting.

something tells me all these bells and whistles around gpt are signs that scaling laws have plateaued, otherwise OpenAI et al. would focus more on improving model quality.

Maybe GPT-4 is the 1080p of LLMs: Noticeably better than 720p and 480p models, and not bad enough to warrant additional improvements.

Sure, 4K, 8K, ... are technologically available, but for the majority of use cases, 1080p is enough. Similarly, even though o1 and other models are technically feasible, for most cases the current models are enough.

In fact, GPT-4 is more than enough for 80% of tasks (text summarization, Apple (un)Intelligence, writing emails, tool use, etc.)—small models (<32B) are perfectly fine for those tasks (and they keep getting better too.)

more gimmicks than actual progress. scaling limits and intelligence barrier has definitely been hit

More likely, there are different groups of engineers working on these features.

It's likely the people implementing the WhatsApp feature, are not the ones working on the LLM models.

Next month we'll have LetterGPT and by 2026 they'll introduce MorseGPT to let us communicate via telegram
