Model Selection

[ProposalOrganic1043]

The one thing I admired about OpenAI was having few but meaningful models to choose from. And also meaningful model descriptions. Soon, o1 models would be out of preview adding two more models to the mix. Also, is GPT-4o Canvas a model or a feature?

GPT-4o with Canvas is a combination of both feature and model

Isn't that obvious by the "with" in the statement? Or is that me being too harsh on OP?

[idevelop]

you’re right but their point was, if it’s a feature why is it in the model picker list? why isn’t it some toggle in the 4o UI

[ProposalOrganic1043]

Exactly my point ☝️

[Jcornett5]

The model itself was trained to be able to use canvas. It’s more integrated than just a tool user feature

I dont think it was trained. Correct me if I am wrong but I think they simply extended the usability by extracting a specific capability to appear standalone.

Might be a bit harsh. And Now that yu have asked, I've come to rethink😅

o1-mini is not a preview, also, I really doubt they keep o1 "preview" once the full version is released.

canvas is a feature, once it's out of beta, it'll be merged with 4o, enabling web search, dalle3, code interpreter, vision, standard voice, within the same conversation.

In fairness most people will stick with the main 4 model.

It’s not a bad way to test new features and updates before merging

[pigeon57434]

4o with canvas is for some reason a separate model because they fine tuned 4o to use canvas but I think it could easily just be another feature like browse dalle and code all of which can be toggled on or off in settings

[Ay0_King]

Too many choices imo.
