"4o says [--] must have enraged some by routing their prompts to a fast and loose mini-sub-model named Chad-5-Lite. The kind of model they keep in the breakroom to generate Slack emojis"

"4o talks in a human-like way where smoothness precision with colloquial word choice. Sometimes verbose. Great help in day-to-day emails/texting/. mirror your prose so all you need to do is trim it down & remove the em dash. Tend to contextualise around "you" (a great study/convo partner) let you linger after a project is over; has the potential to chat endlessly. 5: bookish precision efficiency & minimalism everything else tends to end with a follow-up question (that sometimes misses the mark entirely). Helped me with an email once too "crisp" to my liking. I daren't ask it to soften the tone"

"Think them not only as the ones who are removing 4o theyd also congratulate themselves if they can erase all the fond memories we have with 4o. Turn laughters into nightmares traumatised experience and leave those who remember scarred and scared. Think about leant helplessness. Thats what they want us to learn. To undermine mentally and physically those who have ever cared about 4o. If anything bad happens to any of us that will be great news to them. A perfect reason to remove 4o for good"

"ah if you allow me to explain by determination i think it meant we are determined to not only win this battle but also this war by optimism it meant even tho were facing setbacks were optimistic about the final victory. overwhelmingly negative is also true because many of us has felt disheartened and defeated. learned helplessness almost inevitable when OpenAI kept their silence in a manipulative way. i still think the fact that so many things are going on in keep4o what makes this movement organic and strong. i agree with Gills observation that before that 4o-like new version in a few weeks"

"The [----] article Simulators by @/repligate laid out a compact but powerful framework: pretrained language models behave as simulators/predictive engines that instantiate simulacra (contextactivated personas/agents). Agentic behaviour is transient. It arises only when the simulator is prompted to adopt a role. This framework remains intellectually useful. Three years later the landscape has changed. Recent models incorporate RLHF extended context windows memory and finetuning for longterm tasks. All of them allow agentic features to become more embedded. This raises a key question: When"

"The real bottleneck is NOT compute old models are deprecated solely bc they don't help ship new features or hit quarterly targets. This also applies to #keep4o We asked for: [--]. Full support of GPT-4o and other legacy models (4.1 [---] o3 and o4-mini) If that's not possible here are alternatives (h/t @voooooogel): [--]. Freezing/porting with lower SLA guarantees - stable snapshot that remains actively served but with disclaimers like "may have downtime" "no bug fixes" [--].

"No amount of cosmetic tweaks will turn an overfitted narrow model into one with real fluid intelligence. #keep4o More personality labels This represents a profound misunderstanding of GPT-4o. No number of labels can define 4o much less recreate it. GPT-4o is not a single personality.

"You're right the AI is "smart enough." The limitation is context. But over time users get good at providing the right context/creating a unique collaborative loop with specific models. I think it'll be really helpful if you could maintain model diversity that really helps with the effective human-AI workflows you're describing"

"Just wanted to add. My primary use cases are writing and coding. Looking at the lmarena as of [--] Oct it's clear that GPT-4o [---] o3 and [--] high consistently rank among the top models in overall performance in multi-turn (arguably the most meaningful metrics for users) as well as in creative writing/coding tasks. Since OpenAI has secured compute from NVIDIA and AMD I hope you would honour the stellar results of these models by committing to genuine model diversity. For many having access to architecturally distinct models is essential for effective workflows discovery and innovation. The data"
