free users don't have this model selector, and probably don't care which model they get so 4o is good enough. paid users at 20$/month get more models which are better, like o3. paid users at 200$/month get the best models that are also costing OpenAI the most money, like o3-pro. I think they plan to unify them with GPT-5.
- stavros 1y agoThat doesn't help much when we're asymptotically approaching GPT-5. We're probably going to be at GPT-4.9999 soon.
- rfw300 1y agoNot necessarily true. GPT-4.1 was released after GPT-4.5-preview. Next model might be GPT-3.7.
- nikcub 1y agoI'd be curious what proportion of paid users ever switch models. I'd guess < 10%
- CamperBob2 1y agoI switch to o1-pro on occasion, but it is slow enough that I don't use it as much as some of the others. It is a reasonably-effective last resort when I'm not getting the answer quality that I think should be achievable. It's the best available reasoning model from any provider by a noticeable margin. Sounds like o3-pro is even slower, which is fine as long as it's better. o4-mini-high is my usual go-to model if I need something better than the default GPT4-du jour. I don't see much point in the others and don't understand why they remain available. If o3-pro really is consistently better, it will move o1-pro into that category for me.
- CuriouslyC 1y agoIf you're not at least switching from 4o to 4.1 you're doing it wrong.
- motoxpro 1y ago4o is better than 4.1 for a lot of things that are non-coding/general research.
