This model was not so fun to use for me, had it make a fancy landing page and sometimes it would forget about what i just asked it to do and affirm something it had done before was working. Just odd, needs too much hand-holding compared to composer 1.5 or gemini 3

It's more hedonic adaptation, people just aren't as impressed by incremental changes anymore over big leaps. It's the same as another thread yesterday where someone said the new MacBook with the latest processor doesn't excite them anymore, and it's because for most people, most models are good enough and now it's all about applications. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47232453#47232735
Plus people just really like to whine on the internet
I think whine is a very strong word in this case. Kind of offputting and negative.

But, why include the non-functional chat box in the article?
Different team "manages" the overall blog than the team who wrote that specific article. At one point, maybe it made sense, then something in the product changed, team that manages the blog never tested it again. Or, people just stopped thinking about any sort of UX. These sort of mistakes are all over the place, on literally all web properties, some UX flows just ends with you at a page where nothing works sometimes…
> team that manages the blog never tested it again.
They can use this new tech called AI to test it.

#726I just tried that in Codex CLI. With /fast mode enabled. Observations: 1. Fast mode ain't that fast 2. Large context * Fast * Higher Model Base Price = 8x increase over gpt-5.3-codex 3. I burnt 33% of my 5h limit (ChatGPT Business Subscription) with a prompt that took 2 minutes to complete.
> 8x increase over gpt-5.3-codex
How do you arrive at that number? I find it hard to make sense of this ad hoc, given that the total token cost is not very interesting; it's token efficiency we care about.
Re: GPT-5.4
#727the 1M context is cool but tbh the token cost problem nobody's talking about is tool schema bloat. before the model writes a single line of code it's already consumed thousands of tokens just ingesting function definitions. i've seen agent setups where 30-40% of the context window is tool descriptions before any actual work happens. the per-token price war is nice but if your schema is 10k tokens of boilerplate you're still burning money

1. it's 1.5x , it's quite fast for the level of thinking it has
2. no if you are on subscription, it's the same, at 20$ codex 5.4 xhigh provide way more than 20$ opus thinking ( this one instead really can burn 33% with 1 request, try to compare then on same tasks ) also 8x .. ??? if you need 1M token for a special tasks doesn't hit /fast and vice-versa , the higher price doesn't apply on subscription too..
3. false, i'm on pro , so 10x the base , always on /fast (no 1M), and often 2 parallel instances working.. hardly can use 2% (=20% of 5h limit , in 1h of work ( about 15/20 req/hour) ) , claude is way worse on that imo

20 req/hour is 1 req every 3 min.. you have to think a bit and then write the requests..
Re: GPT-5.4
#730I 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…
I had something similar happen with skills today. A popup appeared saying, "hey, did you know ChatGPT has skills?" Clicking on it opened a new chat window, and after some thinking it said, "I tried to launch the built-in skills demo flow, but it isn’t available".
They barely test this stuff.
