Episode notes
GPT-5 Missed Hype, Not Progress
- GPT-5 improved technically but failed to meet the year-long hype around an AGI leap.
- Users reacted negatively because expectations were set far beyond realistic incremental gains.
Routing Signals Cost Priorities
- OpenAI routed users to cheaper models within GPT-5 which many interpreted as cost-saving over quality.
- That routing decision sparked widespread backlash and debates about transparency and trust.
Restore Choice And Transparency
- Allow paying customers to access older models if they prefer the experience and features they built habits around.
- Provide clear routing transparency so users know why a specific model handled their query.
