I find it quite funny how this blog post has a big "Ask ChatGPT" box at the bottom. So you might think you could ask a question about the contents of the blog post, so you type the text "summarise this blog post". And it opens a new chat window with the link to the blog post followed by "summarise this blog post". Only to be told "I can't access external URLs directly, but if you can paste the relevant text or descri…

If you don't want to click in, easy comparison with other 2 frontier models - https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2029620619743219811?s=20

Definitely don’t want to click in at x either.

Get a redirect plugin and set it up to send you to xcancel instead of Twitter. I've done it, and it's very convenient.

> Google essentially only has Preview models! The last GA is 2.5. As a developer, I can either use an outdated model or have zero insurances that the model doesn't get discontinued within weeks. What's funny is that there is this common meme at Google: you can either use the old, unmaintained tool that's used everywhere, or the new beta tools that doesn't quite do what you want. Not quite the same, but it did remind…

So let me get this straight, OpenAi previously had an issue with LOTS of different models snd versions being available. Then they solved this by introducing GPT-5 which was more like a router that put all these models under the hood so you only had to prompt to GPT-5, and it would route to the best suitable model. This worked great I assume and made the ui for the user comprehensible. But now, they are starting to in…

5 itself might have solved the problem of having too many different models somewhere in the backend

GPT-5.3-Codex is superior to GPT-5.4 in Terminal Bench with Codex, so not really

General consensus seems to be that it's still a better coding model, overall

It just released, how is there a general consensus already

What a model mess! OpenAI now has three price points: GPT 5.1, GPT 5.2 and now GPT 5.4. There version numbers jump across different model lines with codex at 5.3, what they now call instant also at 5.3. Anthropic are really the only ones who managed to get this under control: Three models, priced at three different levels. New models are immediately available everywhere. Google essentially only has Preview models! Th…

> What a model mess! OpenAI now has three price points: GPT 5.1, GPT 5.2 and now GPT 5.4. I don't know, this feels unnecessarily nitpicky to me It isn't hard to understand that 5.4 > 5.2 > 5.1. It's not hard to understand that the dash-variants have unique properties that you want to look up before selecting. Especially for a target audience of software engineers skipping a version number is a common occurrence and n…

Agreed - and its a huge step up from their previous naming schemes. That stuff was confusing as hell

Can't you continue to use to older model, if you prefer the pricing? But they also claim this new model uses fewer tokens, so it still might ultimately be cheaper even if per token cost is higher.

You can, until they turn it off. Anthropic is pulling the plug on Haiku 3 in a couple months, and they haven't released anything in that price range to replace it.

Surely there are open source models that surpass Haiku 3 at better price points by now.

I've only used 5.4 for 1 prompt (edit: 3@high now) so far (reasoning: extra high, took really long), and it was to analyse my codebase and write an evaluation on a topic. But I found its writing and analysis thoughtful, precise, and surprisingly clearly written, unlike 5.3-Codex. It feels very lucid and uses human phrasing. It might be my AGENTS.md requiring clearer, simpler language, but at least 5.4's doing a good…

That's been my experience as well switching from Opus to Codex. Reasoning takes longer but answers are precise. Claude is sloppy in comparison.

codex has been really good so far and the fast mode is cherry on top! and the very generous limits is another cherry on top
