you mention voice ai in the announcement but I wonder how this works in practice. most voice AI systems are bound not by full response latency but just by time-to-first-non-reasoning-token (because once it heads to TTS, the output speed is

This isn't really the author's point, but I think one effect of AI and the forthcoming robotics revolution will be the unrolling of a lot of consolidated supply chains for all sorts of products. It could usher in a renewed era of

wow thanks for leaving this comment - i now realize two things: 1. the farmer's almanac i thought of when i saw the title and even read the article is not going anywhere 2. i have never before heard of the farmer's almanac referre

yeah i think they shot themselves in the foot a bit here by creating the o series. the truth is that GPT-5 _is_ a huge step forward, for the "GPT-x" models. The current GPT-x model was basically still 4o, with 4.1 available in som

Chat is a great UX _around_ development tools. Imagine having a pair programmer and never being allowed to speak to them. You could only communicate by taking over the keyboard and editing the code. You'd never get anything done. Chat

a little glossed over, but they do point out that most important improvement o1 has over gpt-4o is not it's "correct" score improving from 38% to 42% but actually it's "not attempted" going from 1% to 9%. The i

disagree - good products meet their users where they are and bury complexity under the hood. i can't imagine trying to use a calendar app (or any app really) that refuses to operate in any mode other than UTC.

It's kind of interesting because I think most people implementing RAG aren't even thinking about tokenization at all. They're thinking about embeddings: 1. chunk the corpus of data (various strategies but they're all som

yes and you can use it in text-text mode if you want. a key benefit is for turn-based usages (where you have running back and forth between user and assistant) you only need to send the incremental new input message for each generation. thi

correct - you should also be able to save a lot by skipping their built-in VAD and doing turn detection (if you need it) locally to avoid paying for silent inputs.

keep in mind that this is just v1 of the realtime api. they'll add realtime vision/video down the road which can also have wide applications beyond synchronous communication.

yes it transcribes inputs automatically, but not in realtime. outputs are sent in text + audio but you'll get the text very quickly and audio a bit slower, and of course the audio takes time to play back. the text also doesn't cur

"net income" may be a bit simplistic for the moment, but agreed that it doesn't need to be twice as good. it simply needs to be the best. just because the marginal value of adding people goes down, doesn't mean you shoul

it's inconsistent. when i set it up on friday and used it over the weekend, i couldn't read the text on my iphone or the keys on my keyboard. i'm using it at work right now, and have no problem - it's extremely sharp. no

analyst estimates are that they sold about 160,000 units through preorders. At $3500 per unit, that's $560M.

I agree that I/O has always been confusing and non-intuitive. O stands for "On"? For "Off"? I means eyes-shut? O means eyes open? The new symbols aren't any better but the UX of "push this button to turn

I suspect the truth (if this claim is true) is a lot more nuanced than "it did grade-school math", and there's more context surrounding this claim which insiders have and makes it much more interesting.

You don't need to accept their definition, neither does anyone else. But they do need to have a definition that they accept themselves, because it's used throughout their charter. https://openai.com/charter
