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…

Yeah having Auto selected is really destroying my cognitive load...

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…

5.4 is the one fine tuned for autonomous mass murder, automated surveillance state, and money grabs at any cost. It’s really hard to lump that into the others as it’s a fairly unique and specialized feature set. You can’t really call it that tho so they have to use the numbers.

I’m pretty glad I’m out of the OpenAI ecosystem in all seriousness. It is genuinely a mess. This marketing page is also just literally all over the place and could probably be about 20% of its size.

I’m sure the military and security services will enjoy it.

Do you think the US military should have handicapped technology while China gets unrestricted LLM usage from their models?

Current US admin that just murdered over 150 little girls? Yes.

can anyone compare the $200/mo codex usage limits with the $200/mo claude usage limits? It’s extremely difficult to get a feel for whether switching between the two is going to result in hitting limits more or less often, and it’s difficult to find discussion online about this. In practice, if I buy $200/mo codex, can I basically run 3 codex instances simultaneously in tmux, like I can with claude code pro max, all d…

sure can! One of them stood up to the “Department of War” for favoring your rights, the other did not. Hope that helps!

Neither favoured my rights, as I don't have US citizenship, Dario thinks I have none.

So may as well use the one that gives me best value for money.

The marquee feature is obviously the 1M context window, compared to the ~200k other models support with maybe an extra cost for generations beyond >200k tokens. Per the pricing page, there is no additional cost for tokens beyond 200k: https://openai.com/api/pricing/ Also per pricing, GPT-5.4 ($2.50/M input, $15/M output) is much cheaper than Opus 4.6 ($5/M input, $25/M output) and Opus has a penalty for its beta >200…

Grok has a 2M context window for most of their models.

For example their latest model `grok-4-1-fast-reasoning`:

- Context window: 2M

- Rate limits: 4M tokens per minute, 480 requests per minute

- Pricing: $0.20/M input $0.50/M output

Grok is not as good in coding as Claude for example. But for researching stuff it is incredible. While they have a model for coding now, did not try that one out yet.

This is definitely the Claude killer OpenAI is cooking.

And so far it has succeeded

I no longer want to support OpenAI at all. Regardless of benchmarks or real world performance.

Yeah I dropped them. Unfollowed the people working for them on SM

It's not particularly about x.com, hundreds of site like x, youtube, facebook, linkedin, tiktok etc surreptitious add tracking parameters to their links. The iOS Messages app even hides these tracking parameters. I don't like being surreptitiously tracked online and judging by the success of my free app, there are millions of people like me.

so, since these companies have to comply with removing PII, is the worst thing that could happen to me, that I get ads that are more likely to be interesting to me? i’m not being facetious, honest question, especially considering ads are the only thing paying these people these days

The worst thing that could happen is that you get caught in some government dragnet based on your historical viewing data and get disappeared because (as is the nature of dragnet searches) no matter how innocent you are you still look guilty.

Public Service Announcement!! I don't know why the hell google do this, but when the deprecate a model, the error you will see is a Rate Limit error. This has caught me out before and it is super annoying.

Do you mean when they remove a model you get that error? Because deprecation means it will be removed in the future but you can still use it

Yes, sorry - you are correct. Once removed, that's the error, which is incredibly confusing. I spent way too long troubleshooting usage when 2.0 was removed before I figured it out.
