I'm pissed off. I want newer more capable models on schedule and I want minimal "safety".

they were planning a huge announcement spree this week, this means the model was gonna be at the level of claude opus 5.5 but 3x the cost

nah open ai is cheaper than anthropic. they already released their "opus class" model, sol 6, and it's half the price of the previous sol and luna is the cheapest most cost-effective pound for pound of any model, destroys all the chinese models. And Astra and Fable 5.1 are the same price, but Astra ends up being cheaper because it doesn't waste as many tokens.

At least Gemini 4 Pro will be here soon enough and will likely be quite good. The flash models recently seem to indicate Google has finally figured out post-training and 4 pro is a dramatically larger pre-trained model.

Yeah happy about that, but annoying that google went like a year without releasing a big model

The 3.5 pro pre-train was apparently a failure (otherwise they would have continued to work to post-train it into something decent). No idea why that happened. 3.1 pro was a good model for a bit but quickly dominated by competitors.

Yeah, that’s why i use Gemini 3.8 flash for stuff that doesn’t require the highest intelligence.

At least Opus 5.5 is writing like a normal person again. I couldn’t stand Opus 5 for anything except coding because of the inscrutable, bizarre writing.
