Outside of benchmarks it’s really not as big of a deal as openAI wants you to think it is. In most cases it’s slightly better than Claude, except it uses 50x the tokens repeating info to itself and is way slower. There are a lot of people that tried o1 online and are posting screenshots of it making basic mistakes or gaslighting itself in its chain of thought. Not to mention you only get 30 messages PER WEEK since it’s such a waste of energy.
It’s a desperate attempt by openAI to stay relevant now that competitors and even free models are catching up.
Eh. If it what they say it is, it’s still not going to replace a solid engineer. This is also still not capable of actually developing novel reasoning and logic solutions, so the threat of not being able to own the IP is still a thing. There’s also still this bullshit of OpenAI hinting that they want to retain rights to created works through certain licenses somehow?
Fuck these assholes up and down the aisle.
Why?
A half decade ago we would’ve laughed at a machine passing the Turing test…
Why could it not replace an engineer?
The previous limits of technology exploded less than half a decade ago, seems wild to assume that’s the end of that kind of growth.
