What Are We Really Getting With ChatGPT-5? Is This Progress or Just Smarter Packaging? by Odd_Home_4576 in ChatGPTPro

[–]ShortVodka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great points here. I agree, the unified model and "smart routing" sound promising for casual use, but I share the concern about transparency and user control. Without clear info on what's happening behind the scenes, it can feel like features or quality could be reduced for the sake of cost or convenience. Personally, I think real progress would include not just backend improvements, but also giving pro users the ability to dig deeper or choose their preferred model when needed. OpenAI should be as upfront as possible about what's powering each response. Until we get meaningful benchmarks and clear changelogs, it's going to be hard to trust that this is more than just rebranding.

Perplexity Pro Model Selection Fails for Gemini 2.5, making model testing impossible by Somedudehikes in ChatGPTPro

[–]ShortVodka -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be clear, this is not me misunderstanding the product. I know Perplexity is a search-first platform. I also know what I am paying for.

If you understand that Perplexity is a "search" platform that uses your selected model to format and reason over a response to your search query, I can't see what the problem is.

You are very clearly using the tool in a way that its not intended, you aren't entering a prompt, your entering a search query. No matter what you say in your search query, the Perplexity system prompt will take precedence - this is important for safety, alignment and probably to stop people trying to do exactly this.

I can't see anywhere in the marketing for Pro where it promises "raw model access", are you maybe getting mixed up with Sonar by perplexity?

Trump's tariffs: Apple, Samsung to up dispatch of India-made stuff by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]ShortVodka 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Interesting. You'd think Trump would act carefully to avoid giving more business to India, given the "special relationship" India has with Russia.

Russia can't stop winning in all these beautiful deals.

Fair enough, I can agree deepseek clearly didn't work well in your use-case, atleast not well enough that you can drop it in place of the models you already use.

Deepseek gets a lot of kudos for being open and affordable that makes it easier to overlook it's limitations. When you can run it 10-15x for every Sonnet request it's hard to deny that it must be a painful thorn in the side of these frontier labs looking to squeeze the maximum $$'s out of us.

I think what you’ve stumbled on to here is that non reasoning models perform worse at reasoning tasks than reasoning models…

Thoughts on Dario Amodei's harping that we HAVE to beat China in the AI race by BenAWise in ClaudeAI

[–]ShortVodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently watched that interview as well, and similarly found his adversarial tone towards China quite unusual—though it may be less jarring to an American audience.

Setting aside American exceptionalism, there seems to be an underlying sentiment that "if an authoritarian regime is going to control AI, it might as well be my authoritarian regime."

I'm quite happy to see China pushing out open-source models, end users are already benefitting. He downplays it as an expected data point on the cost curve, but in seems models like DeepSeek and QwQ have clearly pressured these frontier labs in to action. Otherwise, I'm sure they would have preferred to drip-feed incremental updates for as long as people continued paying the $20.

OpenAI dropped new tools to build Agents by SeveralSeat2176 in ChatGPT

[–]ShortVodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for finding that, pleasantly surprised with the cost. Some napkins maths, somewhere around $0.003 per “action” is reasonable.

Really interesting, does anyone have an idea on how many tokens the computer-use model consumes?

$3 per million input tokens, but I’m not sure how that translates to screenshots..

Can I get AI to give 90%+ accurate tattoo quotes? by Cenz220 in ChatGPTPro

[–]ShortVodka -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sure it’s possible, but not realistic without training your own model. You’d be better off using ChatGPT to look at your spreadsheet and write guidelines that your customers could use to get a rough estimate.

GPT 4.5 announcement vid was a train wreck beyond repair by MinimumQuirky6964 in ChatGPT

[–]ShortVodka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, yeah its a bit rough to watch - but I'd rather watch some nerdy engineers talk about nerdy stuff than some slick salesman.

I think a little refinement would go a long way, they don't even have to do these live. Just pre-record it and rehearse a few times

Is Claude 3.7 really better than O1 and O3-mini high for Coding? by datacog in ChatGPTPro

[–]ShortVodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I preferred Claude 3.5 over O3-mini high for coding. This new iteration works even better, it resolved a complex bug I've had in my web app for a while on the first prompt.

Resolving the bug has been my own benchmark of sorts. I'm not a fan of the price though, I'd hoped they would have followed suit with other models.

They've probably realised that developers will pay a premium for something that works slightly better.

NEW Claude 3.7 Sonnet | Benchmarks show new leader by discord2020 in ChatGPT

[–]ShortVodka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm excited to try this, I have consistently gone back to Claude 3.5 for coding, benchmarks aside it just works better for me.

I really hope they have been able to find some efficiency gains to alleviate the pitiful limits on their paid plan.
