i'm surprised by the lack of sycophancy in o3 https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd....
Kinda points to people at OpenAI using o1/o3/o4 almost exclusively.
That's why nobody noticed how cringe 4o has become
"GPT-4.5" is the best at conversations IMO, but it's slow. It's a lot lazier than o4 though; it likes giving brief overview answers when you want specifics.
