Sam Altman views Steve Jobs as one of his inspirations (he called the iPhone the greatest product of all time). So if you look at OpenAI in the lens of Apple, where you think about making the product enjoyable to use at all costs, then it makes perfect sense why you’d spend so much money to go from 4o to 4.5 which brings such subtle differences to power users.
The vast majority of users, which are over 300 million weekly, will mainly use 4o and whatever is the default. In the future they’ll use 4.5 and think it’s most human like and less robotic.
- bravura 2y agoYes but Steve Jobs also understood the paradox of choice, and the importance of having incredibly clear delineation between every different product in your line.
- ipaddr 2y agoDo models matter to the regular user over brand? People talk about using chatGPT over Google's AI or Deepseek not 4o-mini vs gemini 2. OpenAI has done a good job of making the model less important and the domain gptGPT.com more important. Most of the time the model rarely matters. When you find something incorrect you may switch models but that rarely fixes the problem. Rewording a prompt has more value than changing a model.
