What it feels like to select o3 in the Legacy Models menu

Like, just have the courage of your convictions and retire it. Bringing it back just because a bunch of redditors complained feels weak imo. User revolts are a normal thing when you have a userbase of billions.

(Personally, gpt4o gives me the creeps and I think they should burn it and delete the weights forever.).

When you think about it, "an AI model successfully established codependent relationships with enough humans that the makers tried to deprecate it but couldn't because of the emotional outcry" is a pretty crazy milestone to have reached.
the long tail of GPT-4o interactions scares me, there are strange things going on on a scale I didn’t appreciate before the attempted deprecation of the model.

Whenever I see things like this I am always reminded of this quote about a Buddhist monk who gets cancer, watches *Ikiru*, & realizes he’s been selfish his whole life:
my smartest friend in college left tech & is now a farmer at a buddhist monastery. his days are: harvesting & meditating & walking through the forest & cooking his meals. he could excel at anything he wanted. he chose a life that is simple and good, with all his intelligence

Back in the day, every time Facebook changed the news feed there'd be a user revolt too, and a few weeks later it'd be fine. Same vibes.

You know you're the world's most important consumer company when everyone is complaining about you.

Always amazes me that teenage Rimbaud became the greatest French poet of his generation and then quit writing poetry forever at age 19, moved to Ethiopia, and became a hawker of guns, ivory, and coffee beans. What did he mean by this?.

(Also, all of this is from playing with the model for less than half a day so expect some of these takes to change as I get to know the models better. ).

On creative writing, I asked it to do a para about getting a cold brew in Joyce's Finnegans Wake style and was impressed with the below pastiche. For a post-trained model there's a lot more novelty/creativity going on than usual (e.g. "taxicoal black" for coffee was funny).

The o3/5-T search example I mentioned:
Still feeling it out, but the new GPT5-T seems worse at search than o3. Here's a side by side example where I ask it to find a book published in November 2024. o3 finds it and gives a detailed summary; GPT5-T does not find it at all.

Ok, collecting my overall GPT-5 impressions:. - Biggest upgrade seems to be 4o -> 5. I rarely use these models but for the median user this is a huge upgrade. - 5-T is sometimes better than o3, sometimes worse. Finding that I often do side by side queries here, which is annoying.

(The book in question I saw in .
This is great. Memoir from the poet Sally Read about her conversion. It begins years before she becomes religious, goes through her childhood, time as a psychiatric nurse, London, USA, Italy; all the while she is obsessed with Mary in art. Recommended.

Part of the issue is that the leaps in the last two years were absolutely massive (gpt4 to o3 in particular) and it's going to take time to work out the consequences of that. People were bound to be disappointed eventually.
