We’re never 100% sure about anything, but there is nothing we're more sure about than that
OpenAI is back, folks. Told ya! Note: Anything written by @JordanNanos 's team kicks ass. "First we have to highlight GPT-5.5 from OpenAI. In our view, GPT-5.5 is now materially better at some tasks than all other models. We believe that GPT-5.5 has arrived at the frontier. This is a huge change from November when Opus 4.5 was released." "GPT-5.5 is now integrated in our daily work." "many people have been accusing Anthropic of intentionally degrading the 4.6 model on the lead up to the 4.7 release. Anthropic has categorically denied these claims, but multiple engineers at SemiAnalysis independently said that over the last few weeks the changes in 4.6 performance have made them “feel a little schizo”. And of course, they were right." 🤣 "SemiAnalysis is famous (infamous?) for shilling Claude, and we’ve been testing GPT-5.5 as part of an alpha program with OpenAI the past few weeks." "Now, most of our engineers switch between Codex and Claude models depending on the task and IDE preference."
Jaysus this escalated. First I tweeted something dumb about a company I didn’t follow (because I mostly don’t follow individual companies — that theme will repeat soon). Thought it was just another Allbirds, wanted to make a stupid scatological joke, and wanted to post my favorite paper from the dot com bubble. My bad. Then @PalmerLuckey told me it was a “dumb” tweet. He was right, but I didn’t appreciate the phraseology, and yes, didn’t recognize him which I absolutely should have. My bad again. I have (as anyone who follows me knows) a very low tolerance for anonymous trolls and way jumped the gun based on past bad experiences. Having said that, unlike regarding @PalmerLuckey, I also yelled at a bunch of actual anonymous trolls, and this I do not take back. Though I’d like some points for providing you all with entertainment AND for not deleting the original tweets. I just think that’s a weak move. You take your lumps and you move on. I’m not above deleting a tweet occasionally, but I try not to especially when I’m wrong. So, happy to have helped the twitter-verse enjoy Friday. Have a nice weekend. And, finally, I’m seriously considering starting a bank based on the characters of Robert E. Howard.
