Is it still “scraping” when the purpose of these transparency logs is to be used for this purpose?

OpenAI has never compared their models to models from other labs in their blog post. Open literally any past model launch post to see that.

For a minor version update (5.1 -> 5.2) that's a way bigger improvement than I would have guessed.

OpenAI does literally anything

“This is a sign of OpenAI’s weakness”

I think this is the third time I’ve seen this exact comment at the top of a HN post about an OpenAI announcement.There is a weird amount of emotional investment in not wanting OpenAI to win.

Personally, I am just excited to see what the device looks like. The prototype must be good to justify this valuation.

>I'm very rarely unique in my behaviour

I cannot stress this enough: if you know what Deepseek, Claude, Mistral, and Perplexity are, you are not a typical consumer.

Arguably, if you have used a single one of those brands you are not a typical consumer.

The vast majority of people have used ChatGPT and nothing else, except maybe clicking on Gemini or Meta AI by accident.

Who has a (publicly released) model that is SOTA is constantly changing. It’s more interesting to see who is driving the innovation in the field, and right now that is pretty clearly OpenAI (GPT-3, first multi-modal model, first reasoning model, ect).

Right. Those labs aren’t leading the industry.

Go look at their past blog posts. OpenAI only ever benchmarks against their own models.

This is pretty common across industries. The leader doesn’t compare themselves to the competition.

Trump tweeted "it's a good time to buy" right before the tariff drop announcement.

Article says ChatGPT, so that doesn't include users through the API.

There have been news reports for this funding round for months, e.g. this one from January https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openaiin-talks-for-huge-investme...

The most surprising thing is that OpenAI reported 400 million weekly actives only last month: https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/o...

I’m surprised it topped the reasoning models for code generation and hard prompts. The style control results are also impressive: https://twitter.com/lmarena_ai/status/1896590154871210154
