Re: GPT-5
#562Some people have hypothesized that GPT-5 is actually about cost reduction and internal optimization for OpenAI, since there doesn't seem to be much of a leap forward, but another element that they seem to have focused on that'll probably make a huge difference to "normal" (non-tech) users is making precise and specifically worded prompts less necessary. They've mentioned improvements in that aspects a few times now,…
I just don’t know that you’d name that 5.
The jump from 3 to 4 was huge. There was an expectation for similar outputs here.
Making it cheaper is a good goal - certainly - but they needed a huge marketing win too.
Re: GPT-5
#563GPT-5 just dropped for my ChatGPT Plus.
Two concerning things: - thinking/non-thinking is still not really unified, you can chose and the non-thinking version still doesn't start thinking on tasks that could obviously get better results with thinking
- all the older models are gone! No 4o, 4.1, 4.5, o3 available anymore

#564> An expressive writing partner > emdash 3 words into their highlighted example
I've always utilized emdashes heavily, and now they're suddenly passe—an unmourned casualty of the new paradigm.

#565Ha. I asked it to write some code for the Raspberry Pi RP2350. It told me there might be some confusion as there is no official product release of the RP2350.
If it doesn’t know that, then what else doesn’t it know?
Re: GPT-5
#566I'm not really convinced, the benchmark blunder was really strange but the demos were quite underwhelming, and it appears this was reflected by a huge market correction in the betting markets as to who will have the best AI by end of the year.
What excites me now is that Gemini 3.0 or some answer from Google is coming soon and that will be the one I will actually end up using. It seems like the last mover in the LLM race is more advantageous.

#567ugh still fails my test prompt: https://chatgpt.com/share/689507c7-5394-8009-b836-c6281a246e...
"Assume the earth was just an ocean and you could travel by boat to any location. Your goal is to always stay in the sunlight, perpetually. Find the best strategy to keep your max speed as low as possible"
o3 pro gets it right though..
Re: GPT-5
#568They will retire lots of models: GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.5, GPT-4.1-mini, o4-mini, o4-mini-high, o3, o3-pro. https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6825453-chatgpt-release-... "If you open a conversation that used one of these models, ChatGPT will automatically switch it to the closest GPT-5 equivalent." - 4o, 4.1, 4.5, 4.1-mini, o4-mini, or o4-mini-high => GPT-5 - o3 => GPT-5-Thinking - o3-Pro => GPT-5-Pro
GPT-5-nano does not support temperature parameter and is giving me worse quality results than GPT-4.1-nano. Will be interesting if they truly do end up retiring a better model in favor of a worse one.

#569It 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…
It's the classic S-curve. A few years ago when we saw ChatGPT come out, we got started on the ramping up part of the curve but now we're on the slowing down part. That's just how technology goes in general.
We are not approaching the Singularity but an Asymptote

AGI is so far away from happening that it is barely worth discussing at this stage.
