Ugh I hate how familiar the all caps yelling at gpt is. Its like - you've got 128k tokens now just do the damn work and provide an answer! I swear to God if I see "this is a complicated challenge" one more time... Honestly would take a model that was only 60% as good if it was less "lazy" since the model doesn't seem to want to use that extra 40% capability without extra prompt engineering in a way that feels deliberately neutered rather than technologically limited. That's still a tall ask for the competitors though so openai wins for now.

Still insanely cool and useful of course, so I can't wait to see how much cooler it gets when some competition shows up that actually does the thing instead of whining about it. Gonna be a fun few years
