Title: How Are You Finding the Latest OpenAI Updates? More Effective or More Complex?
Hey everyone,
I wanted to open a conversation about the recent updates to OpenAI (including GPT-4o and the expanded toolkits across the Assistants API, Actions, and Memory functions).
For those of you who have been building or scaling with these tools in production, how are you finding the new changes?
A few questions to guide the discussion:
• Are the updates improving your workflow and results?
• Have you noticed better contextual memory and adaptability in real use cases?
• Are the new multimodal or API features helping—or complicating—your existing systems?
• If you’re working with Actions, are you seeing better automation or running into new friction?
Personally, I’m finding some massive improvements in adaptability, but also noticing more dependency on structured input logic to maintain consistency. Curious if that’s just my system or others are seeing the same.
Would love to hear real experiences from developers, system architects, and even casual users. Let’s compare notes on what’s working and what’s not.
Looking forward to everyone’s insights.
