So far, it seems like this is the hierarchy o1 > GPT-4o > o3-mini > o1-mini > GPT-4o-mini o3 mini system card: https://cdn.openai.com/o3-mini-system-card.pdf

If this is the hierarchy, why does 4o score so much higher than o1 on LLM Arena? Worrisome for OpenAI that Gemini's mini/flash reasoning model outscores both o1 and 4o handily.

o1 on LLM Arena often times out (network error) while thinking. But they still allow you to vote and they make it seem as if your vote is registered.

Well, o3-mini-high just successfully found the root cause of a seg fault that o1 missed: mistakenly using _mm512_store_si512 for an unaligned store that should have been _mm512_storeu_si512.

There's only two kinds of software, prototype and obsolete. I was taught that last millennium.

That's not true. Is Google Maps a prototype or obsolete?

The website or the database? I'd say the former is obsolete and the latter is still a prototype.

I just pushed a new release of my LLM CLI tool with support for the new model and the reasoning_effort option: https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/changelog.html#v0-21 Example usage: llm -m o3-mini 'write a poem about a pirate and a walrus' \ -o reasoning_effort high Output (comparing that with the default reasoning effort): https://github.com/simonw/llm/issues/728#issuecomment-262832... (If anyone has a better demo p…

A reasoning model is not meant for writing poetry. It's not very useful to evaluate it on such tasks.

I tried to tell my English teachers that all through high school but it never worked.

Hopefully this is a big improvement from o1. o1 has been very disappointing after spending sufficient time with Claude Sonnet 3.5. It's like it actively tries to gaslight me and thinks it knows more than I do. It's too stubborn and confidently goes off in tangents, suggesting big changes to parts of the code that aren't the issue. Claude tends to be way better at putting the pieces together in its not-quite-mental-mo…

I've also noticed that with cGPT. That said I often run into a sort of opposite issue with Claude. It's very good at making me feel like a genius. Sometimes I'll suggest trying a specific strategy or trying to define a concept on my own, and Claude enthusiastically agrees and takes us down a 2-3 hour rabbit hole that ends up being quite a waste of time for me to back track out of. I'll then run a post-mortem through…

I agree with this but o1 will also confidently take you into rabbit holes. You'll just feel worse about it lol and when you ask Claude for a post mortem, it too will find the answer you missed quickly

The truth is these models are very stochastic you have to try new chats whenever you even moderately suspect you're going awry

No, but the chat divs are all contenteditable.

Oh! That is an excellent solution. I wish it was that easy in every UI.

Thanks, for what it's worth unless you particularly need to use exl2 ollama works great for local inference and you can prompt together a half decent chat UI for yourself in a matter of minutes these days which gives you full control over everything. I also lean a lot on https://www.npmjs.com/package/amallo which is a api wrapper i wrote for ollama which makes this sort of hacking very very easy. (not that the default lib is bad, i just didn't like the ergonomics)

I understand that saas products are constantly evolving but this is an unusual definition of obsolescence and prototypes. Google Maps has been running like a tank for two decades, and it is pretty feature complete.

The API pricing is almost exactly double the deepseek ones.

I like deepseek a lot. But they are currently very glitchy. The API service goes up and down a lot. Maybe they'll sort that out soon.

Apparently they're under a very targeted DDoS for almost a month, with technical details shared in Chinese but very little discussion in English. Which is surprising, it's not like major AI products are getting DDoSed out of existence every day.

I used o3-mini to summarize this thread so far. Here's the result: https://gist.github.com/simonw/09e5922be0cbb85894cf05e6d75ae... For 18,936 input, 2,905 output it cost 3.3612 cents. Here's the script I used to do it: https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/claude-hacker-news-themes...

3.3612 cents (I guess USD cents) is expensive!

Same immediate thought: the free option I provide on my production site is a model that runs on 2xA40. That's 96GB of VRAM for 78 cents an hour serving at least 4 or 5 concurrent requests at any given time.

O3 Mini is probably not a very large model and OpenAI has layers upon layers of efficiencies, so they must be making an absolute killing charging 3.3 cents for a few seconds of compute

I think OpenAI really needs to rethink its product naming, especially now that they have a portfolio where there's no such clear hierarchy, but they have a place along different axis (speed, cost, reasoning, capabilities, etc). Your summary attempt e.g. also misses o3-mini vs o3-mini-high. Lots of trade-ofs.

Can't wait for the eventual rename to GPT Core, GPT Plus, GPT Pro, and GPT Pro Max models! I can see it now: > Unlock our industry leading reasoning features by upgrading to the GPT 4 Pro Max plan.

Had the same problem while trying to decide which Roborock device to get. There's the S series, Saros series, Q Series and the Qrevo. And from the Qrevo, there's Qrevo Curv, Edge, Slim, Master, MaxV, Plus, Pro, S and without anything. The S Series had S8, S8+, S8 Pro Ultra, S8 Max Ultra, S8 MaxV Ultra. It was so confusing.
