A year ago Sunday Pichai declared code red, now it’s Sam Altman declaring code red. How tables have turned, and I think the acquisition of Windsurf and Kevin Hou by Google seems to correlate with their level up.

Re: GPT-5.2
#383I 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…
Interesting, I had the opposite experience. 5.0 "Thinking" was better than 5.1, but Gemini 3 Pro seems worse than either for web search use cases. It's hallucinating at pretty alarming rates (including making up sources it never actually accessed) for a late 2025 model. Opus 4.5 has been a step above both for me, but the usage limits are the worst of the three. I'm seriously considering multiple parallel subscription…
I've had the same experience with search, especially with it hallucinating results instead of actually finding them. It's really frustrating that you can't force a more in-depth search from the model run by the company most famous for a search engine.

#384For me the last remaining killer feature of ChatGPT is the quality of the voice chat. Do any of the competitors have something like that?
Gemini's much better, try it

#385I recently built a webapp to summarize hn comment threads. Sharing a summary given there is a lot here: https://hn-insights.com/chat/gpt-52-8ecfpn.

#386Is it me, or did it still get at least three placements of components (RAM and PCIe slots, plus it's DisplayPort and not HDMI) in the motherboard image[0] completely wrong? Why would they use that as a promotional image? 0: https://images.ctfassets.net/kftzwdyauwt9/6lyujQxhZDnOMruN3f...
to be fair that image has the resolution of a flip phone from 2003
If I ask you a question and you don't have enough information to answer, you don't confidently give me an answer, you say you don't know.
I might not know exactly how many USB ports this motherboard has, but I wouldn't select a set of 4 and declare it to be a stacked pair.

Assuming you meant "leave the app open", I have the same frustration. One of the nice things about the ChatGPT app is you can fire off a req and do something else. I also find Gemini 3 Pro better for general use, though I'm keen to try 5.2 properly
Re: GPT-5.2
#388I've benchmarked it on the Extended NYT Connections benchmark ( https://github.com/lechmazur/nyt-connections/ ): The high-reasoning version of GPT-5.2 improves on GPT-5.1: 69.9 → 77.9. The medium-reasoning version also improves: 62.7 → 72.1. The no-reasoning version also improves: 22.1 → 27.5. Gemini 3 Pro and Grok 4.1 Fast Reasoning still score higher.
Why no grok 4.1 reasoning?

Then you haven't used Gemini CLI with Gemini 3 hard enough. It's a genius psychopath. The raw IQ that Gemini has is incredible. Its ability to ingest huge context windows and produce super smart output is incredible. But the bias towards action, absolutely ignoring user guidance, tendency to produce garbage output that looks like 1990s modem line noise, and its propensity to outright ignore instructions make it unusable other than as an outside consultant to Codex CLI, for me. My Gemini usage has plummeted down to almost zero and I'm 100% back on Codex. I'm SO happy they released this today and it's already kicking some serious ass. Thanks OpenAI team and congrats.

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.
Pretty good until it goes crazy glazing Elon or declaring itself mecha hitler.
