...rain's System 1. That is, highly parallel, vibes matching from past experience. OpenAI's o1 (codenamed Strawberry) is different: like the brain's System 2. Heavy, expensive machinery for general purpose problem solving. Some problems ar...
A few random off-the-cuff reactions to OpenAI's strawberry model in no particular order: The performance of it is something that could be sometimes cobbled together with a whole lot of prompt-fu ...
It's amazing how much competition there is for LLMs. Everyone standardized on OpenAI's API, which allows fast switching between providers. Whichever knowledgebase users store their data in for the LLM to use is very sticky. The LLM ma...
OpenAI's new advanced voice mode ends most answers with a question. (At least in my experience.) I find this annoying, especially if my question was a strai...
...ons imply the querystream isn't particularly valuable to increase model quality OpenAI is the kleenex of AI - if consumers know a single model provider, they know it. And although other models arguably are higher quality now, they aren'...
There's a gap between Anthropic's Artifacts and OpenAI's GPTs. Anthropic Artifacts makes it super simple to create a little sandboxed live demo app with whatever UX you want that you can share with anyone...
OpenAI and Anthropic had an underlying LLM model that was so good that they could slap on a demo level of UX and it was a viable product. But they are not d...
...nsanely powerful, and could be sold today to 100k analysts at a high price… and OpenAI cares about it so little that there's not even a landing page describing what it is that enthusiastic users can evangelize. The providers all have a ...
...technical friend play around with getting AI to write little toy programs. With OpenAI, I had to copy/paste the generated files into an HTML file for him and refresh the browser to see the output. A somewhat mystifying step to someone w...
...ining. For the direct consumer application created by the providers, some (like OpenAI) reserve the right to use the querystream to train. Interestingly, if I understand correctly, Anthropic explicitly says they won't use the querystrea...
You could argue that OpenAI is a middling success. In some ways, obviously, it's a massive success. But OpenAI sought out to change the dynamic of how technology was built in th...
I thought this distillation of Clayton Christensen's theory in the OpenAI Stratechery piece last week was valuable: "Professor Clayton Christensen's theory of integration and modularity, wherein integration works better whe...
...e for computing similarity (overlap of stemmed words sorted by TF-IDF) to using OpenAI's embeddings. The improvement was radical. It felt like 10xing the usefulness. Someone this weekend asked me "what would I have to pay you to get you...
