What is wrong with OpenAI? The naming of their models seems like it is intentionally confusing - maybe to distract from lack of progress? Honestly, I have no idea which model to use for simply everyday tasks anymore.

Seems to me like they're somewhat trying to simplify now. GPT-N.m -> Non-reasoning oN -> Reasoning oN+1-mini -> Reasoning but speedy; cut-down version of an upcoming oN model (unclear if true or marketing) It would be nice if they actually stick to this pattern.

  Are the oN models built on top of GPT-N.m models? It would be nice to know the lineage there.

  I suspect that "ChatGPT-4o" is the most confusing part. Absolutely baffling to go with that and then later "oN", but surely they will avoid any "No" models moving forward

  But we have both 4o and 4.1 for non-reasoning. And it's still not clear to me which is better (the comparison on their page was from an older version of 4o).

It really is bizarre. If you had asked me 2 days ago I would have said unequivically that these models already existed. Surely given the rate of change a date-based numbering system would be more helpful?

I tend to look at the lmarena leaderboard to see what to use (or the aider polyglot leaderboard for coding)
