OpenAI's new model is a "RESEARCH ARTIFACT" | Unlocks "Society of Minds"?

There’s another knock-on benefit to mini: it means that now companies on the fence about integrating Ai into their UX will be less hesitant because the cost is lower and the reliability higher. And more adoption in the space means more momentum and competition in the space, which can only be good for progress :)

I'm already doing it. I'm virtualizing all the characters in my game with GTP-4o-mini. And it's really, really good. And it's not bankrupting me. So that is great.

No TV and no beer make Homer something something.

Great content as aways! Also, I don't believe that a jump from 95% to 98% in the debate rounds can be considered a plateau. As we approach perfection, improvements become increasingly challenging. Consider the difference between 99% and 99.9%; that's a tenfold improvement. The last few percentiles are significantly more impactful.

Hard to get excited anymore for an openAI drop because they tease and don't ship.

My best guess is OpenAI is trying to optimize as much as possible before they kick off the next model. Perhaps they figure GPT-5 isn’t economically viable enough yet.

They teamed up more with apple right? They were probably tasked to get something running natively on phones. This could be early results for that sort of effort

it blows me away people don't understand how big this was

Mini is amazing. The cost of using uts api is so much cheaper.

I don't really care how low cost a new model is, personally. If I'm using a large corporate closed source model I'm using it for its quality; if I have something that can be done with mixture of agents, agentic frameworks, agentic workflows, text grad and so on, I can absolutely just run it slowly, locally, for free, with a greater degree of customizability, fine tuning, priority inference, and no need to worry about internet connection. On that note, is there any chance you could do a video on textGrad? I think it's more interesting for people familiar with Pytorch in the sense that it's made in a way that reflects the syntax that an ML engineer would already be used to, but it's a pretty strong formalism of a lot of agentic and reflective workflows that people are looking at lately. As an example, it can do differentiation through text, like you might have a prompt for an LLM "how good is the following text on a scale of 1-10" and it could backpropogate that through the "network" of agents / prompts, and in fact you could even continue propagating it back into a neural network from which the answer originated if you needed to. It seems a bit silly at first because a person can already do a lot of what it does more simply (less formally) with just prompt engineering and plaintext operations, but I honestly think it's really powerful once you get to using it.

I have one word for OPENAI - Anthropic!!!! and another word, llmafile... don't forget to install CUDA and use the appropriate command line. Fast 7b or 70b llm running on your laptop. MOE, society loop using python and you're almost at gpt 4 levels.

5:37 I am currently working on my own project doing this exact thing. Its more of an experiment but im interested to see what would happen if each agent could grow and change based on assessing situations they are put in. Or to put it another way im giving each agent a personality that will be used as context for every prompt, and that personality context can change every time the AI does something. This could be watching TV, taking a nap, having a conversation, playing a game, really anything I can think of. I plan on using open source locally run models for this.

It seems they've switched to 4o-mini as the default "free" chat model, too. GPT-3.5 is no longer listed as an option for new chats.

I would like for them to release a model that would be indistinguishable from a person for conversations.

Take good care of yourself, you've stood up as the best AI related stuff covering channel over time for me, second place goes to AI Explained who's fallen a liiiittle bit to the "AI progress is just hype and not so real" mind virus lately. We need you to remain the beast at doing what you for the long term!

If only it was OpenAI so people could research but instead it's ClosedAI.

Society of Minds is a good concept to remember going forward. Thanks for the info.

M-o-b-i-l-e is THE killer application for the Mini-model. For sure!!

wow mini is great, paused the video to play around with it, so much faster and seems just as good 👍

I am and always have been a patient gamer. I don't pay more than $20 for anything. Fundamental economic improvements. Excite me the most. Sometimes I get a stiffy thinking about logistics.
