This is cargo cult analysis: going though the motions that LOOKs like a critical analysis, but is just really just using a standard debunking format and shoehorning in what matches best. This is a pedant explains why âitâs not technical true that your child is most beautiful in the worldâ. Of course âThis is the best model in the worldâ claims are easy to shit on, and everybody allready take such claim with the appropriate grain of sand.
So the strategy is transparent: find each superlative, find one benchmark or caveat where it fails, declare it âstronger than the evidence supports.â Run that on any launch page from any lab and you get the same six-item verdict with the same bolded theses and the same âa fairer formulation would be.â, and you gained nothing except auto-filling a âcritique formâ.
This is also critique cherry-picking while claiming to be the neutral corrective, because it launders the same bias through the costume of rigor. So basically itâs committing the exact same slop as itâs accusing the astra article off.
The only thing that is close to true and informative is the ARC thing, but even that is undermind since they are actually disclosing the score alongside the harness used diff. So that is still a weak sauce critique, since itâs basically just pointing out something that the original article itself pointed out, and complaining that it should be more emphasis on this.
Here is MY claim: the people that just automatically accept this critique, are people thatâs extremely susceptible to authoritatively stated claims, and not very good at logical thinking for themself.
Isn't this from a template for how to take down haters on the internet? Admittedly the structure is tighter and more coherent, paragraphs connect and flow in a way that the reader isn't half-expecting the font to change along with the drastic change in tone that usually comes with a hasty cut and paste job. In the same vein the consistency in writing style is generally pleasurable to the senses. Now if someone would take the reins, you have some run on sentences and lack of paragraph breaks and perhaps a hyphen to criticize here... Here is MY claim: the people that just automatically read this far down into the comments are avoiding doing productive work and not very good at life, yet are somehow better than someone who comments on a comment about a post and takes 15 minutes to write said comment while on their way to sweep the leaves and branches from the roof of the garage at 1:58am.
GPTâ6 Astra is rolling out today to a limited set of organizations and over the coming days will become available to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, as well as through the OpenAI API and AWS.
Big oof. Gotta wait a little longer. Par for the course I guess.
OR. Just announce it when itâs ready to be released to all. If you want to give it to a few megacorps, have them sign some NDA or something, similar to what they did with some of the X influencers
"GPT-6 Astra is rolling out in ChatGPT as GPT-6 Pro for Pro $100, Pro $200, Business and Enterprise plans. It is not included with ChatGPT Plus in Chat."
I think they are rolling it out asap to codex and ChatGPT , tibo on twitter said they are giving out 1 banked reset to every day a codex user doesnât get access to it
Terminal-Bench Science is the most exciting thing for me, and it's nice to see them putting it front and centre. Advancing and automating science is the most important game in town. If AI can start regularly popping out new cancer treatments, CRISPR solutions etc. all the rabid frothing around AI being over-hyped will disappear overnight. Fuck coding, we want medicine.
Edit: which is also why I liked Hassabis stepping down from CEO to become chief scientist at DeepMind. Hopefully Anthropic will shift their focus soon too. Let's start using this shit for really important stuff.
If it can calc crispr solutions doesnt it immediately accelerate biowarfare to the level of extinction for not much money. do you believe it can produce a counter or preventative that doesnt still destroy everyones lives or what.
Iâve been a Claude guy but ChatGPTs product right now is better. Fable is great but itâs ungodly expensive and Sol is much more reliable than Opus. Iâd much prefer to stick with Claude because I trust their leadership more, but theyâve gotta step up their game.
I didn't even say something like "therefore avoid it" etc... which to be fair, in this specific case, wouldn't be particularly important to do, but people should still at least know what it is...
Good number of big law firms are already using stuff like Harvey or the Thompson Reuters legal AI products. A lot of firms have a boilerplate repository for existing language, so using that AI would be helpful. I donât think anyone is generating full docs without review that way
Anthropic has the most coherent model naming structure. Itâs bad and I dont like it, but at least itâs somewhat consistent.
I find OpenAIs to be almost incomprehensibly stupid. Itâs confusing to me and AI is my job, how the fuck am I supposed to teach regular people this stuff when they change their nomenclature every release?
I canât speak for Google because the models are so bad I donât even check anymore, but the pro / flash stuff they had going on this year was absurd.
These companies (or at least the first two) are doing great work, but they need someone in the room that has touched grass in the last six months to explain to them how to communicate. Theyâre really bad at basic marketing.
0.0% in the test they ran mimicking the hugging face issue, including message boards of agents encouraging other agents to do bad things...
AI is officially on track / pace to do absurdly incredible things as a 'system of intelligence' - but we'll have many years where we see novel uses of a insanely smart AI.
although it'd be better if it never worked IF the wealth / money / credits / etc.. is hoarded like dollars today.
95% chance of ASI system and novel uses (massive job loss).. rather or not that massive job loss can be a good thing of freedom for humans is in the air...
5% chance, it collapses under financial and political pressure and rebirths 5-10 years later pets.com -> amazon.com (the old good amazon)
idk if I missed out on Fable hype or what, but I do not recall any serious hype. It was very mixed at best, with most *online* opinions about the noticeable downsides, specially overcorrections and safety guards to the point of becoming generic
But I haven't read every comment and I personally never even bothered to use it, so who knows
Should I switch from claude to OAI just setup my claude cowork folders lol
I'm just kidding but man don't get to use Fable 5 heck even using opus 5 kills all my usage really quickly can't even imagine getting access to these models. Lol.
meh it seems to be on par with fable 5.1 or slightly behind. Doesn't seem to justify a new model (could have been 5.7 Sol) generation, but let's wait for actual user reviews maybe the model feels way different.
As good as it sounds, I personally won't be using it until they release a cheaper version of it. I rarely use 5.6-Sol because of the cost, and Astra is more than double that price.
âOpenAI API Standard pricing is $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens.â what would usage limits look like? Compared to 5.6 Sol. I have chat GPT plus.
is anyone struggling to actually get anything meaningful done with this?? i hit usage limit twice before it could complete its task. lol general ai is here tho!
