I consistently get significantly better performance from Anthropic at a literal order of magnitude less cost. I am incredibly doubtful that this new GPT is 10x Claude unless it is embracing some breakthrough, secret, architecture nobody has heard of.

I've heard so much about Claude and decided to give it a try and it has been rather a major disappointment. I ended up using chatgpt as an assistant for claude's code writing because it just couldn't get things right. Had to cancel my subscription, no idea why people still promote it everywhere like it is 100x times better than chatgpt.

You need to learn how to ask it the right questions.

Is it insane? It's the cost of a new laptop every year. There are about as many people who won't blink at that among practitioners in our field as people who will. I think the ship has sailed on whether GPT is useful or a con; I've lost track of people telling me it's their first search now rather than Google. I'd encourage skeptics who haven't read this yet to check out Nicholas' post here: https://news.ycombinator.…

It's the cost of a new, shiny, Apple laptop every year.

I give o1 a URL and I ask it to comment on how well the corresponding web page markets a service to an audience I define in clear detail. o1 generates a couple of pages of comments before admitting it didn’t access the web page and entirely based its analysis on the definition of the audience.

O1 can't browse the web at all.

> Aside from favoring the long em-dash (—) which isn't on most keyboards Interesting! I intentionally edit my keyboard layout to include the em-dash, as I enjoy using it out of sheer pomposity—I should undoubtedly delve into the extent to which my own comments have been used to train GPT models!

Just so you know, text using the em-dash like that combined with a few other "tells" makes me double check if it might be LLM written. Other things are the overuse of transition words (e.g., "however," "furthermore," "moreover," "in summary," "in conclusion,") as well as some other stuff. It might not be fair to people who write like that naturally, but it is what it is in the current situation we find ourselves in.

Part of my justification for spending $20 per month on ChatGPT Plus was that I'd have the best access to the latest models and advanced features. I'll probably roll back to the free plan rather than pay $20/mo for mid tier plan access and support.

That's a weird reaction. You're not getting any less for your $20.

Did you read the post you're replying to? It's very short. He was paying for top-tier service, and now, despite paying the same amount, has become a second-class customer overnight.

It does not say anything about real use cases. It performs better and "reason" better than o1-preview and o1. But I was expecting some real-life scenarios when it would be useful in a way no other model can do now.

I imagine the system prompt is something along the lines of, 'think about 10% harder than standard O-1'

for every tier that costs 10x more than the previous, they add a "very" to the "You are a very, very, very smart AI"

Come on Anthrophic! Match (or beat!) the price with an unlimited Sonnet plan and you have my money. The usage limits are very frustrating (but understandable given economics).

Tangent. Does any body have good tips for working in a company that is totally bought in on all this stuff, such that the codebase is a complete wreck? I am in a very small team, and I am just a worker, not a manager or anything. It has become increasingly clear that most if not all my coworkers rely on all this stuff so much. Spending hours trying to give benefit of the doubt to huge amounts of inherited code, reali…
