Episode notes
Model Picker Returns With Mode Options
- OpenAI reintroduced a model picker with Auto, Fast, and Thinking options to give users more control over outputs.
- The router (Auto) chooses models but had issues with GPT-5 initially, so manual modes help users pick desired behavior.
Switch Modes Based On Task Needs
- Use Auto for most queries and pick Fast for quick answers or Thinking for deeper, deliberative responses.
- Consider switching modes manually when you need more careful reasoning or speed trade-offs.
Pro Tier Locks High-End Models
- OpenAI offers a Pro tier (~$200/month) that unlocks higher-capability features and models like 4.5 and extra capacity.
- Pro bundles high-end features and priority access but also rotates items in and out over time.
