Are the mini / omni models really trillion parameter models?

I don't think so, but you're still looking at a giant investment that can't really be justified for their capability.

For most AI users who are not engineers, their emotional value is more important than the programming ability of the model.Moreover, there is no substitute for 4o's text ability and creativity for the time being.In any market, the emotional market is very significant.

I understand the need to move forward, but removing a model that worked so well for so many of us — without giving us any option to retain it — feels like a step bac…

I agree with your point of view.I believe the AI market shouldn’t be limited to supporting scientific research and development alone. Literary expression and emotional depth deserve to be developed in parallel. I hope OpenAI will respect the diversity of market needs and allow space for different forms of interaction to thrive.
