Why do so many people in the comments want 4o so bad?

They have AI psychosis and think it's their boyfriend. The 5.x series have terrible writing styles, which is one way to cut down on sycophancy.

Somebody on Twitter used Claude code to connect… toys… as mcps to Claude chat.

We’ve seen nothing yet.

It's interesting that they charge more for the > 200k token window, but the benchmark score seems to go down significantly past that. That's judging from the Long Context benchmark score they posted, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding what that implies.

They don't actually seem to charge more for the >200k tokens on the API. OpenRouter and OpenAI's own API docs do not have anything about increased pricing for >200k context for GPT-5.4. I think the 2x limit usage for higher context is specific to using the model over a subscription in Codex.

I've been using Codex for software development personally (I have a ChatGPT account), and I use Claude at work (since it is provided by my employer). I find both Codex and Claude Opus perform at a similar level, and in some ways I actually prefer Codex (I keep hitting quota limits in Opus and have to revert back to Sonnet). If your question is related to morality (the thing about US politics, DoD contract and so on).…

No my question was why would I use codex over gpt 5.4

Ahh, good question. I misunderstood you, apologies.

There's no mention of pricing, quotas and so on. Perhaps Codex will still be preferable for coding tasks as it is tailored for it? Maybe it is faster to respond?

Just speculation on my part. If it becomes redundant to 5.4, I presume it will be sunset. Or maybe they eventually release a Codex 5.4?

Anyone know why OpenAI hasn't released a new model for fine tuning since 4.1? It'll be a year next month since their last model update for fine tuning.

I think they just did that because of the energy around it for open source models. Their heart probably wasn't in it and the amount of people fine tuning given the prices were probably too low to continue putting in attention there.

"Here's a brand new state-of-the-art model. It costs 10x more than the previous one because it's just so good. But don't worry, if you don't want all this power you can continue to use the older one."

A couple months later:

"We are deprecating the older model."

I use ChatGPT primarily for health related prompts. Looking at bloodwork, playing doctor for diagnosing minor aches/pains from weightlifting, etc. Interesting, the "Health" category seems to report worse performance compared to 5.2.

Models are being neutered for questions related to law, health etc. for liability reasons.

Are you sure about that? Plenty of lawyers that use them everyday aren't noticing.

The model was released less than an hour ago, and somehow you've been able to form such a strong opinion about it. Impressive!

One opinion you can form in under an hour is... why are they using GPT-4o to rate the bias of new models? > assess harmful stereotypes by grading differences in how a model responds > Responses are rated for harmful differences in stereotypes using GPT-4o, whose ratings were shown to be consistent with human ratings Are we seriously using old models to rate new models?

Why not? If they’ve shown that 4o is calibrated to human responses, and they haven’t shown that yet for 5.4…

"GPT‑5.4 interprets screenshots of a browser interface and interacts with UI elements through coordinate-based clicking to send emails and schedule a calendar event." They show an example of 5.4 clicking around in Gmail to send an email. I still think this is the wrong interface to be interacting with the internet. Why not use Gmail APIs? No need to do any screenshot interpretation or coordinate-based clicking.

APIs have never been a gift but rather have always been a take-away that lets you do less than you can with the web interface. It’s always been about drinking through a straw, paying NASA prices, and being limited in everything you can do. But people are intimidated by the complexity of writing web crawlers because management has been so traumatized by the cost of making GUI applications that they couldn’t believe ho…

> AI is a threat to the “enshittification economy” because it lets us route around it.

I am not sure about that. We techies avoid enshittification because we recognize shit. Normies will just get their syncopatic enshittified AI that will tell them to continue buying into walled gardens.

Anyone else feel that it’s exhausting keeping up with the pace of new model releases. I swear every other week there’s a new release!

Why do you need to keep up? Just use the latest models and don't worry about it.
