top | item 46445178 (no title) sinenomine | 2 months ago GPT-5.2 has radically changed my outlook on OpenAI. Head and shoulders above others.The excellence is there. discuss order hn newest TrackerFF|2 months ago I'm also a happy customer.But, one thing has been consistent for the past 3 years: After every release from all the serious competitors, the hype can go either way.As far as the hype cycles go, OpenAI is oscillating between "Best model ever" and "What a letdown, it's over" at least twice a year.The competition is fierce, and a never-ending marathon of all the players getting ahead just a bit. No clear long-term winner. Insanity|2 months ago 5.2 is good. But at this point every few months company A trumps company B with a new “SOTA” (for some definition of SOTA).OpenAI has no real moat. Anthropic is focusing on developers as a clear target, and Gemini has the backing of Google.I don’t see OpenAI winning the AI race with marginally better models and arguably a nicer UI/UX (ymmv, but I do like the ChatGPT app experience).That said, my usage decreases month over month. jackling|2 months ago Really, I found 5.2 to be a rather weak model. It constantly gives me code that doesn't work and gets simple APIs wrong. Maybe it's just weak on the domain I'm working in. NBJack|2 months ago It hasn't done great in the head-to-head comparisons I've seen, and has trailed in several areas on the leaderboards (though not all).Based on the 'code red' they declared, this model seems to have been rushed a bit. imhhdhgfih|2 months ago [deleted]
