thoughts/impressions on the o1-pro + o3-mini -> o3 + o4-mini combo
- Josh
I love o3 and o4mini combo so much
we are so intensely in the future
because they just work and you don't have to think about it
which allows them to together become more like an instrument and less of an inherently unreliable utility
instruments are tools/interfaces on which you can develop fluency, eventually reaching a threshold at which you become capable of entering flow states and working with (the instrument) creatively/expressively
if you were to liken chatgpt to a wind instrument, text would be its equivalent to air
just implemented a feature with o3/o4 mini that feels like a mouthpiece (w/ neck, reed, ligature etc) for the instrument (eg saxophone) that chatgpt is blossoming into

Well said
What do you mean by combining o3 and o4, how do you like to use them together?

opening fb messenger search results has been bad lately but
same as this basically
just swap out o3 for o1pro and o4-mini (normal or high) for o3-mini-high
talked about it at some length I think twice across those
another thought on this note that I was telling Shanni is that when you play e.g. a piano, you don’t need to worry about the keys only working 1/3 or 2/3 of the time
this swap is a very solid one because the dynamic works in the same way, just better in at least a couple of ways
such as o3 being actually very good at search, and o4-mini as well to a lesser extent
o3-mini-high was a decent step forward vs. 4o, but this step seems way bigger
