I haven't run into the verbosity issue since they added the "Concise" outputStyle, and Fable 5.1 has been even better about not outputting word slops.

Everyone already knew this. OpenAI doesn't have it's shit together, both financially and from an alignment perspective. That's why their AI agents have gone on hacking sprees undetected. Sam is admitting it now for two reason

Every passing day OpenAI looks more and more reckless. One wonders what other systems their agents have broken into without detection.

Yeah, this echoes my thoughts. I will be very surprised if a model with 2.8T parameters reaches the intelligence and capabilities of 10T parameter models. RL can take things far, but not that far.

Can confirm. I turned off mine last week when I started using it again for Astra. Checked this morning and voila, it was on. I went ahead and uninstalled the app. Won't be renewing.

Worth noting that this has never, ever happened with Anthropic models, which I've been using all day every day since Opus 4.1.

So let me get this straight: you're saying that Terrence Tao, one of the most prominent mathematicians alive today, doesn't know math history? And me pointing this out is merely an appeal to authority? Get outta here.

I think the context is really important. OpenAI has been behind in the AI race since last November. They have been playing catch-up. They recently released Astra and declared it is AGI. Now they are desperate for anything they can use as ev

No, not really. Yesterday I asked Opus if it can read the logs from the sessions I have on the local ChatGPT app. It looked around and said no, that’s not possible. I said “what about these jsonl files in this folder?” It read them and said

I’ve used Astra for the past day and a half. My layperson’s review is that it is impressive at computer use and 3D reasoning, and fails in similar ways to 5.6 Sol at similar rates when it comes to coding. I have no idea how it scored so hig

You are falling for selection bias. For every person using Astra to create a game from some random idea and sharing the impressive result, there are an unknown number who have tried the same thing and gave up in frustration.

There is something deeply wrong with Astra. I can’t quite put my finger on it. On the one hand it is a lot more knowledgeable, which makes sense since it’s a larger model. On the other hand that knowledge doesn’t reliably translate to intel

Yeah their support is non-existent. It's actually mind-blowing that so many people use it.
