Note that OpenAI is notoriously terrible at pricing. Their prices are based on gut-feel and marketing, more than being priced on what customers would pay and what is profitable. Building on top of this would be a terrible idea. The bubble

Honestly, imagine being in a regular software field and improving your product 2x. It is now two times better than it was previously. That's amazing! You could probably beat out all the competition, steal all the customers, quadruple

I think you could see this coming as soon as they implemented chain-of-thought in their previous models. Chain-of-thought is well understood to be the way to squeeze out performance out of these models. Slow down, go step by step, use mor
