Agreed. Sam Altman definitely over-hyped GPT-5. It's not so much more capable that it deserves a major version number bump.

Surely a major version bump says more about the internals than the capabilities

  I see your point from a software engineering perspective but unfortuately that's not how the public sees it. The common perception is that we are making leaps towards AGI. I never thought AGI was close so I'm not disappointed, but a lot of people seem to be. On the other hand, I've seen comments like "I guess my fears of a destructive super-intelligence were over-blown."

People seem to make this exact comment on here at every gpt release. I wonder what gpt we ought to actually be on? 1.4.6?

  In retrospect I would have named it as follows: GPT-4 -> GPT-4 Home GPT-5 -> GPT-4 Enterprise Because my impression after using GPT-5 that it is designed to satisfy the needs of Microsoft mainly. Microsoft has no interest in making AI therapists or AI companions, probably because of the legal liability. Also, that's outside their core business.

  3.something. They make "this exact comment on here at every gpt release" because every GPT release is touted as revolutionary and it's increasinly a smaller bump.

    4 was definitely way better

I still think it's a solid achievement, but weirdly positioned. It's their new-poverty spec model, available to everyone, and is likely not too large. It's decently good at coding, and math, beating current SOTA of Opus 4.1 by a small margin, while being much cheaper and faster to run, hinting at likely a much smaller model. However it's no better at trivia or writing emails or essays, which is what regular people who use ChatGPT through the website actually care about, making this launch come off as awkward.

They gonna release new models like apple releases iphones, same stuff little tweaks and improvements.
