here's a nice user review we published: https://www.latent.space/p/o3-pro

sama's highlight[0]:

> "The plan o3 gave us was plausible, reasonable; but the plan o3 Pro gave us was specific and rooted enough that it actually changed how we are thinking about our future."

I kept nudging the team to go the whole way to just let o3 be their CEO but they didn't bite yet haha

Big fan swyx, but both here and in the article there is some bragging about being quoted by sama, and while I acknowledge that that’s not out of the ordinary, I’m concerned about where it leads: what it takes to get quoted by sama (or similar interested party) is saying something good about his product, and having a decent follower count.

Dangerous incentives IMO.

acked. in my defense i didnt write the article + ben already had a good track record from the o1 article. while our relationship with oai is v v v impt to us, we've also covered negative openai stories: https://www.latent.space/p/clippy-v-anton and will continue to give balanced coverage with the other labs when they do well.

we are definitely not seeking to be openai sycophants, nor would they want us to be.

if o3 is so good why aren't they using it to replace management?

It's been 1 day

The technology needs to diffuse through and find its equilibrium within the market

You could say 3.5/3.7 Sonnet was good enough to replace some juniors but the juniors didn't get replaced immediately - it has a lag in time for it to ripple through
