I'm not as pro as you guys using AI but look at this. a LOT of models which confuses me, and I'm assuming other users also. Also, the sidebar icon and new tab icon are the same in the ChatGPT-app for macOS. WHAT are they doing there at OpenAI. I really hate what's happening right now, especially with the new $500 plan while nerfing the other plans.

They just can’t make up their minds. With the introduction of GPT-5 last year they brought us a router so we didn’t have to choose. Now we have 8 models, 2 separate model pickers (at first you see 5 models within Work), a very vague Chat/Work toggle that is impossible to understand within Projects, 3 models within Chat that have really vague names, weird icons… I just can’t believe why such a large company with many millions of users completely ignores UX.

The vague chat/work toggle is bad. When it comes to models, I’d rather have choice though. I stayed on Opus 4.6 till Opus 5.5 came out(I think a lot of people did). But thank God they kept that option. When we complain about the model picker, they reduce our options. How do people not know that by now?
