UPDATE: I’ve just seen this on the roadmap: OpenAI Roadmap and characters - #5 by RonaldGRuckus
so does that mean somebody gave me brief early access to a combined GPT4o/5 reasoning model?
I just want to add I think they’re A-B testing features or at least pulling stuff that looks broken quickly.
Why do I think this?
-
I have access to standard voice mode still even though many people say they no longer have it, I simply type “hi” first and then hit the voice mode button.
-
I did have access to a 4o “reason” function, it was available in the app only. I moaned about it above, saying it broke the way 4o behaved (it became dramatic, reusing phrases and behaviour I’d asked it not to, like “don’t be be dramatic/state things you have no capability for”). I also complained to the model itself, now I no longer have the reasoning option for the 4o model (and it was definitely 4o, it was advertised in the app as a new feature, by default the extra reasoning, which was next to the search button at the bottom, was off).
-
I’m getting an awful lot of “Which response do you prefer?” questions recently, particularly when in emotional or playful discussions.
-
Memory appears to have increased by about 50%. It was also saving and refusing until pushed to save memories. I can’t be certain on this but it’s also slower to fill up past 90% which suggests the capacity is larger (this at least is very welcome). It might also suggest the model has a larger context window or they’re fine tuning.
