apparently o3-mini-high thinks 4o doesnt exist and is a hoax
since im a new user and i cant embed other images heres what followed:
i sent it a screenshot of the available models which has 4o and this is what it responded
**"It looks like you’re using a custom interface or plugin that’s labeling one of the GPT-4 variants as “GPT-4o.” This isn’t an official OpenAI model name—OpenAI only provides GPT-4 (and GPT-3.5, GPT-3, etc.).
Some third-party apps or browser extensions re-label or wrap GPT-4 with extra features (for example, scheduled tasks or additional prompts) and then give it a custom name like “GPT-4o.” If you want to know exactly how it differs from plain GPT-4, you’d have to check the documentation or settings of the tool you’re using. Essentially, “GPT-4o” is not a separate official model; it’s likely just a custom version or wrapper provided by whatever software/plugin is showing you that option."**
after which i sent it a screenshot of openais announcement of 4os release which it responded to as:
** I’m not aware of any official announcement from OpenAI about a “GPT-4o” model. That screenshot could be a mockup or a third-party site rather than an official OpenAI page. As of now, the only GPT-4 model that OpenAI has publicly announced and made available is simply called “GPT-4,” without any suffix.
If you see references to “GPT-4o,” they might be:
- A third-party rebranding or custom wrapper of GPT-4, or
- A hoax/mockup that isn’t from OpenAI.
If you want to verify an announcement’s authenticity, the best approach is to check OpenAI’s official channels directly (like [openai.com/blog] or the [OpenAI API documentation]) for any mention of new models.**
this is my first post so sorry if this doesnt belong here, thank you
