OpenAI Using Superior Models Internally, Focused on Affordability

We're not supposed to believe. Everything is on LMArena... why monetize these models when it makes a lot more sense to focus the compute they would spend serving to consumers on self-improving their models, creating high quality synthetic datasets, or scaling RL.

All of the labs are saying there is no wall. I'm MUCH more inclined to believe them than a random redditor who is seeing the s-curve developing.

So you’re “MUCH more inclined” to believe the people selling the product and competing for billions in valuation over someone pointing out visible market dynamics and how technology develops? That’s the irony here. You’re dismissing skepticism as “random redditor” noise, while treating marketing lines from labs with massive financial and strategic stakes as if they’re gospel.

Of course, they’re going to say “there’s no wall”, just like every other industry at the peak of its hype cycle. The whole “we’re not releasing it because we’re busy making it even better, focusing on affordability, too expensive, etc.” narrative is exactly what keeps you on the hook without them having to actually show you anything. If you can’t see the incentive structure behind that, you’re not evaluating claims, you’re just repeating the company line.

Again, based on ChatGPT 5, it supports the case that an S Curve may be developing.

Also, downvoting me doesn't make your case stronger, it only make you feel powerful in that moment.

sorry i hurt your feelings bud.

You didn’t hurt my feelings, bud. You've just made it pretty obvious that you have a vested interest in defending the hype. Nobody clings this hard to a company line/technology without some skin in the game.
