what’s so exciting about o1 and why are people going crazy with o1 when GPT 4 was already doing the same job?
In: Technology
It’s not doing the same job. I use ChatGPT to write scripts. In fact, I’m using it right now. ChatGPT 4 can write some pretty decent code, but it will almost never work out of the box, unless it’s very simple. And the troubleshooting sometimes doesn’t get you anywhere. ChatGPT 4o is smarter, and can do better work. The scripts sometimes work right away, and with enough effort, can often be fixed if they don’t. The only exception being scripts that are too complicated — and let’s face it, the sky’s the limit when you’re only thinking of a project, and you don’t have to write it out yourself. So it gets a lot of problems it stumbles on. Now we have ChatGPT o1-mini and ChatGPT o1-preview. Mini does a great job, and usually gets it right. But if it doesn’t, you have to turn to o1-preview. That’s the one that really takes its time to think about things, and very often its code works first time. And we’re talking complicated code I couldn’t hope to understand. Reams of it. o1-mini wrote me a media player the other day. A webpage that populates a playlist based on a server folder of audio files, and allows you [to click] on the list and play the file. There are also the normal media player controls. And it works. How can you beat that for twenty bucks a month?
