What does this add to the conversation? This isn't Reddit.

The thing about OpenAI is their models never fit anywhere for me. Yes they maybe smart or even the smartest models but they are alway so fucking slow. The ChatGPT web app is literally usable for me. I ask simple task and it does most extreme shit jsut to get an answer that the same as Claude or Gemini.

For example, I asked ChatGPT to take a chart and convert into a table. It went and cut up the image and zoomed in for literally 5 mins to get the a worst answer than Claude which did it in under a minute.

I see people talk about Codex like it better than Claude Code, and I go and try it and it takes a lifetime to do thing and it return maybe an on par result as Opus or Sonnet but it takes 5mins longer.

I just tried out this model and it the same exact thing. It just take ages for it to give you an answer.

I don't get how these models are useful in the real world.

What am I missing, is this just me?

I guess it truly an enterprise model.

Are you using 5.1 Thinking? I tended to prefer Claude before this model.

I use models based on the task. They still seem specialized and better at specific tasks. If I have a question I tend to go to it. If I need code, I tend to go to Claude (Code).

I go to ChatGPT for questions I have because I value an accurate answer over a quick answer and, in my experience, it tends to give me more accurate answers because of its (over) willingness to go to the web for search results and question its instincts. Claude is much more likely to make an assumption and its search patterns aren't as thorough. The slow answers don't bother me because it's an expectation I have for how I use it and they've made that use case work really well with background processing and notifications.

No, thank you, OpenAI and ChatGPT doesn't cut it for me.

What’s cutting it for you these days?

thanks for letting us know.

I feel like if we're going to regulate anything about AI, we should start by regulating (1) what they get to claim to be a "new model" to the public and (2) what changes they are allowed to make at inference before being forced to name it something different.

That's almost but not quite how the airline industry is treated. The difference there is that the regulators are in bed with the companies they should be regulating.

It baffles me to see these last 2 announcements (GPT 5.1 as well) devoid of any metrics, benchmarks or quantitative analyses. Could it be because they are behind Google/Anthropic and they don't want to admit it?

(edit: I'm sorry I didn't read enough on the topic, my apologies)

This isn't the announcement, it's the developer docs intro page to the model - https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-2/. Still doesn't answer cross-comparison, but at least has benchmark metrics they want to show off.

This shift toward new platforms is exactly why I’m building Truwol, a social experience focused on real, unedited human moments instead of the AI-saturated feeds we’re drifting toward. I’m developing it independently and sharing the progress publicly, so if you’re interested in projects reinventing online spaces from the ground up, you can see what I’m working on Truwol buymeacoffee/Truwol
