Confusion over GPT model naming conventions
By
–
Though I will continue to insist that the path we were on would have been much clearer if o3 had been called GPT-5 and GPT-5 had been called GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.2 had been called GPT-6.

Models progressing from basic math to solving hard problems
By
–
Its funny how much the whole "strawberry" thing, which turned out to be o1-preview, was dismissed as overhyped at launch when it is clear in retrospect that it was way underhyped. A direct line from models unable to do basic math to solving unresolved math problems in 18 months.

Model control enables labs to monopolize AI products
By
–
And it is the model that makes it so it is the labs, as opposed to every other software vendor, can ultimately be the sole provider of products. Their post-training and their harnesses and their control over access means that they can build products that no one else can touch.

Models as the prime mover behind AI products
By
–
I would push back a little: because the models are so good & improving, they don't have to be the product. But it is the model that is the prime mover. If they weren't so generally capable, the harnesses & apps the labs build around them would be hard to build and wouldn't work.

Disappearance of instant, thinking, pro and effort levels
By
–
You had instant, thinking, pro, etc and then each had the ability to specify their effort levels (4 levels) All of that is gone lol

AI Agents Memory Solutions: Offline Dreaming vs Embedding
By
–
Hive: This project is supported by the @Evermind community, it's really great, highly recommended. CLI agent: Everyone is racing to develop their own memory solutions. Claude Code goes with offline "dreaming" batch processing, Hermes goes with on-site embedding, but they all
