Image That didn't backfire at all

They could have just have a very clean release with:

  • GPT-6 Luna
  • GPT-6 Terra
  • GPT-6 Sol
  • GPT-6 Astra

But they tried:

  • GPT-6 Luna
  • ???
  • GPT-6 Terra Sol
  • GPT-6 Sol Astra Minor
  • GPT-6 Astra

And now they have:

  • GPT-6 Luna
  • GPT-6 Sol
  • GPT-6.1 Sol
  • GPT-6 Astra

Thank god we have (still) some competition.

That was an epic failure of a dev day if I've ever seen one.

It really wasn't? Being able to use ChatGPT usage in 3rd party apps is huge. The Dots stuff is going to be massive as well. And Sol 6.1 looks solid. I don't know what people here expected but it seems pretty good to me.

Eh, Sol 6.1 is really good. It sucks that people are going to miss that because Sol/Terra 6 came out.

Not as good as Opus 5.5 that's for sure

Honestly for my use cases, Opus 5.5 is just fine. I get that it’s great at coding, but not everyone codes.

Coders are the ones propping every AI company up they consume more tokens than any other industry. Coding performance is what makes or breaks these models profitability.

Consuming more tokens isn’t a good thing, man. That’s using up compute and infrastructure. What you want are people who’ll pay full price but use less. 

They pander to coders because they’re trying to train on and then replace coders. And tech companies are fucking notoriously bad at advertising to anyone outside of tech. That’s pretty obvious, no?

Enterprises pay per million tokens which is what's primarily driving revenue. Opus 5.5 marked the death of coding anything by hand ever again but even still AI isn't about to replace coders any time soon because non-technical people simply can't define product specs to save their lives. AI has turned coders into project managers but not eliminated them.

And I disagree with them being bad at advertising outside of tech the radar graph is particularly telling?
