What's the point of this article besides free propaganda? It seems to me like every other AI shop except for OpenAI and possibly Anthropic only gets mentioned once they actually release something.
Probably because OpenAI is the best at this than any other player in the game. They’re on their way to replacing Google as the #1 search engine. Instead of “google it” it’s going to be “gpt it”, and we all know who “gpt” is.
If it were any good I would assume there would be no need to hype it up. My theory is that LLMs will get commoditized within the next year. The edge that OpenAI had over the competition is arguably lost. If the trend continues we will be looking at inference like commodity prices, where the most efficient like cerebras and groq will be the only ones actually making money at the end.
Incredibly bad theory, it's like you're saying every LLM is the same because they can all talk, even though the newer ones continue to smash through benchmarks the older ones couldn't. And now it happens quarterly instead of yearly, so you can't even say it's slowing down.

The fact that xAI only exists for Elon Musk's personal spite and they produced a top performing model certainly implies that model training isn't any kind of moat. It's certainly very expensive but not mysterious.
“Top performing model” Ie overfit to benchmarks.
They can call it whatever they want…not sure that has a great deal of meaning unless there’s a GPT-4/Claude 3.5 level step change.
This happened because training progressively larger models used to be the main path forward, which was easy to track and name, but currently it's all about quickly incorporating synthetic data chain-of-thoughts created by flash models.
OpenAI promises too much and delivers too little. It promised "Agent mode" and "Study and learn", but I have neither despite paying for the service. I get the impression that OpenAI will rename what's intended as o4 to gpt-5 and package it as such.
I will die on this hill. Nothing annoys me more than OpenAI acting like something is rolling out (or rolled out already) and then taking forever to do so. > ChatGPT agent starts rolling out today to Pro, Plus, and Team; Pro will get access by the end of day, while Plus and Team users will get access over the next few days. "Next few days" - It's 8 days later (so far). Lest one think "It's only 8 days, geez, calm down…

If it were good, there would also be no need for their devs to tell people to temper their expectations, alas... [0]

When I had some mild success with my first startup in the UK, I got flooded by news organisations offering "premium publication content" --- basically pay us a big chunk of cash to write a positive article on your company. I was surprised at the number and calibre of orgs that came to me who would basically say anything I wanted for cash, this opened my eyes a lot and made me very suspicious of published media.

They already are. I have been using Kimi k2. It is 90% as good as Sonnet and on Groq 3x faster and 1/5th the price.

I feel like Altman is taking Elon's path. ChatGPT was his Tesla Model 3. Now he's in the overpromise/underdeliver phase, he's probably going to get himself into a "funding secured" moment soon enough, but he definitely hasn't started calling people "pedo" yet.
