> bad news: it is a giant, expensive model. we really wanted to launch it to plus and pro at the same time, but we've been growing a lot and are out of GPUs. we will add tens of thousands of GPUs next week and roll it out to the plus tier then. (hundreds of thousands coming soon, and i'm pretty sure y'all will use every one we can rack up.)

- g-mork 2y agorelease blog post author: this is definitely a research preview ceo: it's ready the pricing is probably a mixture of dealing with GPU scarcity and intentionally discouraging actual users. I can't imagine the pressure they must be under to show they are releasing and staying ahead, but Altman's tweet makes it clear they aren't really ready to sell this to the general public yet.
- pk-protect-ai 2y agoYeap, that the thing, they are not ahead anymore. Not since last summer at least. Yes they have probably largest customer base, but their models are not the best for a while already.
- danenania 2y agoEh, I think o1-pro is by far the most capable model available right now in terms of pure problem solving.
- rvnx 2y agoYou can try Claude 3.7-Thinking and Grok 3 Think. 10 times cheaper, as good, or very similar to o1-pro.
- danenania 2y agoI haven’t tried Grok yet so can’t speak to that, but I find o1-pro is much stronger than 3.7-thinking for e.g. distributed systems and concurrency problems.
- zifpanachr23 2y agoI think Claude has consistently been ahead for a year ish now and is back ahead again for my use cases with 3.7.

- riskassessment 2y agoThey don't even have the largest customer base. Google is serving AI Overviews at the top of their search engine to an order of magnitude more people.
- chefandy 2y agoI’m not an expert or anything, but from my vantage point, each passing release makes Altman’s confidence look more aspirational than visionary, which is a really bad place to be with that kind of money tied up. My financial manager is pretty bullish on tech so I hope he is paying close attention to the way this market space is evolving. He’s good at his job, a nice guy, and surely wears much more expensive underwear than I do— I’d hate to see him lose a pair powering on his Bloomberg terminal in the morning one of these days.
- igor47 2y agoYou're the one buying him the underwear. Don't index funds outperform managed investing? I think especially after accounting for fees, but possibly even after accounting that 50% of money managers are below average.
- fragmede 2y agoDepends who's pitch deck you're reading. Warren Buffett didn't get rich waiting on index funds.
- CuriouslyC 2y agoAnd for every Warren Buffet, there are a number of equally competent people who have been less lucky and gone broke taking risks.
- mock-possum 2y agoAnd, crucially, whose loss has in turn become someone else’s gain. A lot of people had to lose big in order to fill Warren buffet’s coffers.
- malthaus 2y agowarren buffet got rich by outperforming early (threw his dice well) and then using that reputation to attract more capital and use his reputation to actually influence markets with his decisions / gain access to privileged information your local active fund manager doesn't
