Based on benchmarks it's a flop. Not unexpected tho after oss

#382It is frequently suggested that once one of the AI companies reaches an AGI threshold, they will take off ahead of the rest. It's interesting to note that at least so far, the trend has been the opposite: as time goes on and the models get better, the performance of the different company's gets clustered closer together. Right now GPT-5, Claude Opus, Grok 4, Gemini 2.5 Pro all seem quite good across the board (ie the…
Companies are collections of people, and these companies keep losing key developers to the others, I think this is why the clusters happen. OpenAI is now resorting to giving million dollar bonuses to every employee just to try to keep them long term.
No the core technology is reaching its limit already and now it needs to Proliferate into features and applications to sell.
This isn’t rocket science.

#383Going by the system card at: https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-system-card/ > GPT‑5 is a unified system . . . OK > . . . with a smart and fast model that answers most questions, a deeper reasoning model for harder problems, and a real-time router that quickly decides which model to use based on conversation type, complexity, tool needs, and explicit intent (for example, if you say “think hard about this” in the prompt).…
Too expensive maybe, or just not effective anymore as they used up any available training data. New data is generated slowly, and is massively poisoned with AI generated data, so it might be useless.
I think that possibility is worse, because it implies a fundamental limit as opposed to a self imposed restriction, and I choose to remain optimistic.
If OpenAI really are hitting the wall on being able to scale up overall then the AI bubble will burst sooner than many are expecting.

#384It's very interesting how memetic the language around different models is. Elon seems to have coined "PhD level intelligence in all topics" and now Sam repeated it in his presentation. Despite it not having an actual meaning. I think OpenAI will coin they've achieved AGI first (as they have incentives to based on the rumored contract with MSFT), and then everyone will claim we've achieved it.
I gotta say PhDs are a dime a dozen these days, and yet we are talking about science stagnation.
And PhDs are not very smart imho (I am one)
Re: GPT-5
#385The marketing copy and the current livestream appear tautological: "it's better because it's better." Not much explanation yet why GPT-5 warrants a major version bump. As usual, the model (and potentially OpenAI as a whole) will depend on output vibe checks.
Yeah. We're entered the Smartphone stage: "You want the new one because it's the new one."

#386Are they reducing the price of older models now?

Even to just a random sysops person?

#388i love how the guys are pretending to be listening everyone's speach for the first time, like they don't know how it works.. marketing is weird
Re: GPT-5
#389Damn, you guys are toxic. So -- they did not invent AGI yet. Yet, I like what I'm seeing. Major progress on multiple fronts. Hallucination fix is exciting on its own. The React demos were mindblowing.
It's not about being toxic, it's about being honest. There is absolutely nothing wrong with OpenAI saying "we're focused on solid, incremental improvements between models with each one being better (slightly or more) than the last."
But up until now, especially from Sam Altman, we've heard countless veiled suggestions that GPT-5 would achieve AGI. A lot of the pro-AI people have been talking shit for the better part of the last year saying "just wait for GPT-5, bro, we're gonna have AGI."
The frustration isn't the desire to achieve AGI, it's the never-ending gaslighting trying to convince people (really, investors) that there's more than meets the eye. That we're only ever one release away from AGI.
Instead: just be honest. If you're not there, you're not there. Investors who don't do any technical evals may be disappointed, but long-term, you'll have more than enough trust and goodwill from customers (big and small) if you don't BS them constantly.
Re: GPT-5
#390Short 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.
