OpenAI's 4o-mini brings big brains on a budget.

OpenAI has a new baby - GPT-4o-mini. It is a small model that beats the early version of GPT-4 and it costs 30x less than its big bro GPT-4o.

You can now say bye to GPT-3.5-Turbo as 4o-mini will take its place in ChatGPT’s free tier. If you were using GPT-3.5-Turbo API in your applications, you should switch to 4o-mini.

This model (and other kiddos like Gemini 1.5 Flash and Calude 3 Haiku) are great for low-logic tasks. Think translations, rewrites, getting data from forms/images etc. Just don’t expect them to use their own brain, and you’ll be fine.

yes, the bad thing is that it's still limited, you must always start a new conversation, because for each chat there's a limit, but it helps a lot, you can notice the difference between 3.5 and 4

I was worried about it all going behind a paywall but guess I was wrong

it sounds like a positive development for users who need affordable, quick AI solutions for simpler tasks, but not necessarily for those who rely on more sophisticated cognitive capabilities.

Chatgpt sucks. I don't know how people use it daily. Every single time I use it it gives me a wrong answer, even when I mention the error. Is everyone asking the same dumb questions to this dumb AI? I had a better experience with Claude.

I also prefer using Claude for some reasons. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is BETTER than GPT-4o. It's particularly useful when I am not in the mood for writing a large prompt and just want the AI model to quickly generate something useful.

sounds interesting but really raises questions about the value of smaller models in the long run if they can't think for themselves also how does this affect the quality of free software access shouldn't it always prioritize user freedom and capability over cost

offering software/app for free to the public can serve as an effective testing ground for the product. by allowing users to access the app at no cost, developers can gather valuable feedback and usage data, enabling them to make informed improvements. once the app has been refined based on user input, introducing a fair or minimum charges can be a workable strategy to monetize the product while still remaining accessible to a broad audience.

free software ain't about profit it's about freedom screw the testing ground mentality just share it all no strings attached why charge when sharing is the way to true progress
