Скачать или смотреть OpenAI’s Sudden Betrayal: Why Killing o1 for o4-mini Might Be Their Biggest Mistake Yet

‪@BranFolio‬ After putting o4-mini through a gauntlet of precision benchmarks — ranging from logic puzzles and algebraic reasoning to hallucination traps, programming precision, literary analysis, and embodied simulation — it’s clear this model is no slouch. It handled each test with measured reasoning, restraint against hallucination, and even moments of surprising elegance.

But here’s the catch: it’s not o1.

While o4-mini performs competently in most categories, it lacks the confident depth, tighter coherence, and near-deterministic consistency that made o1 a favorite among power users. This is not a disaster — but it is a downgrade. The average user might not notice the difference, but for those of us who relied on o1 for high-stakes reasoning and precision writing, the replacement feels like swapping a scalpel for a Swiss Army knife: more general-purpose, less surgical.

If OpenAI thinks o4-mini is a worthy successor to o1, they’re betting that most users prefer speed over sharpness. Whether that tradeoff holds in the long run remains to be seen.#openaio4 #openaio1 #benchmark #chatgptdowngrade
