Releasing it was probably a mistake. In context what the model is could have been understood, but they haven’t really presented that context. Also it would be lost on a general audience. The general public will naturally expect it to be the next big thing. Wasn’t that the point of releasing it? To seem like progress is being made? To try to make that point with a model that doesn’t deliver is a misstep. If I were Sam Altman, I’d be pulling this back before it goes on general release, saying something like it was experimental and after user feedback the costs weren’t worth it and they’re working on something else as a replacement. Then o3 or whatever they actually are working on instead can be the “replacement” even if it’s much later.
