I really want the ability to disable the model router in ChatGPT and only use reasoning/thinking tools. o3 was my daily driver with o4 being the backup if I hit the message limit. The GPT-5 update greatly reduced the access to reasoning tools, which were the only tools that.
The level of intelligence for most people in @ChatGPTapp after GPT-5 update will depend highly on the 'router' and how often it would switch into 'thinking' mode. If you were using o3 already, you are unlikely to feel a huge difference. However, vast majority of ChatGPT users

This feels undeniably true. As a product, ChatGPT got far worse for me as a Plus user even though the GPT5 model is “better” than what I had access to before.
ChatGPT literally got worse for every single Plus user today. There's no way to reliably get thinking models anymore. Before we had o4-mini, o4-mini-high and o3. Now we have GPT-5 Thinking with 200 messages per week and a router that exclusively routes you to some small and.

It was a pleasure to interview @mbrendan1 and to partner with him and the @cosmos_inst to create this video. It's pretty clear to me that it's paramount for humanity, and builders in particular, to think deeply about what they're creating, why, and for whom.
