    The horrible names of these things…

    o4-mini, not to be confused with 4o-mini

    And 4o, not to be confused with 4 (aka 4.0 or v4, but 4V is different)

      They were hoping if the naming conventions were as bad as USB-C that it might be as widely accepted

      Aren’t they killing one of the models that people developed a cultlike affection for?

      And they’re doing it the day before Valentine’s Day, hahahaha

    14 days is not a long time between announcement and removal. This press article picked up on it even later/shorter. (Predictably. It takes time for the info to spread.)

    If these are the models most damaging to vulnerable people their deactivation seems like a good thing though.

    The free chatgpt switches to mini after x prompts in a conversation. What will it switch to now?

      The free version of Gemini is incomparably better then chatGpt in a great many tasks including coding. I expect it increasingly doesn’t matter what they do in the free tier.

    do they still have a mini. I had heard they made it more distributed though with the main model querying specialist domains so maybe that replaces the need for a mini.
