The jump from gpt-1 to gpt-2 is massive, and it's only a one year difference! Then comes Davinci which is just insane, it's still good in these examples!

GPT-4 yaps way too much though, I don't remember it being like that.

It's interesting that they skipped 4o, it seems openai wants to position 4o as just gpt-4+ to make gpt-5 look better, even though in reality 4o was and still is a big deal, Voice mode is unbeatable!

Missing o1 and o1 Pro Mode which were huge leaps as I remember it too. That's when I started being able to basically generate some blackbox functions where I understand the input and outputs myself, but not the internals of the functions, particularly for math-heavy stuff within gamedev. Before o1 it was kind of a hit and miss in most cases.

I agree. They are definitely trying to make the jump between 4o and 5 seem bigger, though most users never actually used o models, so maybe from a layman's perspective it was right to skip o1/o3/o4-mini?
