Watching the livestream now, the improvement over their current models on the benchmarks is very small. I know they seemed to be trying to temper our expectations leading up to this, but this is much less improvement than I was expecting

im sure i am repeating someone else but sounds like we're coming over the s-curve

My thought exactly.-

Diminished returns.-

... here's hoping it leads to progress.-

Sam Altman, in the summer update video: > "[GPT-5] can write an entire computer program from scratch, to help you with whatever you'd like. And we think this idea of software on demand is going to be one of the defining characteristics of the GPT-5 era."

He said something like "entering the fast fashion era of SaaS" recently.

GPT-5 doesn't seem to get you there tho ...

(Disclaimer: But I am 100% sure it will happen eventually)

Not that this proves GPT-5 sucks, but it made me laugh that I could cheese the rolling ball minigame by holding spacebar.

You could tell it wasn’t working well and fast enough for the presenters.

Pricing seems good, but the open question is still on tool calling reliability.

Input: $1.25 / 1M tokens Cached: $0.125 / 1M tokens Output: $10 / 1M tokens

With 74.9% on SWE-bench, this inches out Claude Opus 4.1 at 74.5%, but at a much cheaper cost.

For context, Claude Opus 4.1 is $15 / 1M input tokens and $75 / 1M output tokens.

Since Claude Code launched, OpenAI has been behind. Maybe the RL on tool calling is good enough to be competitive now?

Seems LLMs really hit the wall.

i think this is more an effect of releasing a model every other month with gradual improvements. if there was no o-series/other thinking models on the market - people would be shocked by this upgrade. the only way to keep up with the market is to release improvements asap

Short anything that’s riding on AGI coming soon. This presentation has gotten rid of all my fears of my children growing up in a crazy winner take all AGI world.
