I have been using chatGPT a ton over the last months and paying the subscription. Used it for coding, news, stock analysis, daily problems, and a whatever I could think of. I decided to give Gemini a go when version three came out to great reviews. Gemini handles every single one of my uses cases much better and consistently gives better answers. This is especially true for situations were searching the web for curre…

What is it with the Polish always messing up products?

(yes, /s)

> Unlike the previous GPT-5.1 model, GPT-5.2 has new features for managing what the model "knows" and "remembers to improve accuracy. Dumb nit, but why not put your own press release through your model to prevent basic things like missing quote marks? Reminds me of that time an OAI released wildly inaccurate copy/pasted bar charts.

Their model doesn't handle punctuation, quote marks, and similar things very well at all.

Arc-AGI is just an iq test. I don’t see the problem with training it to be good at iq tests because that’s a skill that translates well.

Exactly. In principle, at least, the only way to overfit to Arc-AGI is to actually be that smart. Edit: if you disagree, try actually TAKING the Arc-AGI 2 test, then post.

Is it different every time? Otherwise the training could just memorize the answers.

What an understatement. It has me thinking „man, fuck this“ on the daily.

Just today it spontaneously lost an entire 20-30 minutes long thread and it was far from the first time. It basically does it any time you interrupt it in any way. It’s straight up data loss.

It’s kind of a typical Google product in that it feels more like a tech demo than a product.

It has theoretically great tech. I particularly like the idea of voice mode, but it’s noticeably glitchy, breaks spontaneously often and keeps asking annoying questions which you can’t make it stop.

For me the last remaining killer feature of ChatGPT is the quality of the voice chat. Do any of the competitors have something like that?

I think Grok's voice chat is almost there - only things missing for me: * it's slower to start-up by a couple of seconds * it's harder to switch between voice and text and back again in the same chat (though ChatGPT isn't perfect at this either) And of course Grok's unhinged persona is... something else.

Big knowledge cutoff jump from Sep 2024 to Aug 2025. How'd they pull that off for a small point release, which presumably hasn't done a fresh pre-training over the web? Did they figure out how to do more incremental knowledge updates somehow? If yes that'd be a huge change to these releases going forward. I'd appreciate the freshness that comes with that (without having to rely on web search as a RAG tool, which isn'…

> which presumably hasn't done a fresh pre-training over the web What makes you think that? > Did they figure out how to do more incremental knowledge updates somehow? It's simple. You take the existing model and continue pretraining with newly collected data.

A leak reported on by semi-analyses stated that they haven't pre-trained a new model since 4o due to compute constraints.

Containment breach is going to occur from a disgruntled customer convincing the customer service bot it needs to get a hold of a supervisor

I tried this! Me: Is it possible get early access to the GPT 5 fine tuning? It is much better at non-English languages, which is the majority of what we do, so it would be greatly beneficial to us. Bot: I'm an AI support agent. I don't have information about early access to GPT-5 fine-tuning or unannounced features. Currently, there is no public information or program for early access to GPT-5 fine-tuning. Please kee…
