Change in Plans for OpenAI
OpenAI just announced on X that
- there will be an o3 and o4-mini release after all over the next weeks
- GPT-5 will exceed expectations and will be released over the next months
“change of plans: we are going to release o3 and o4-mini after all, probably in a couple of weeks, and then do GPT-5 in a few months. there are a bunch of reasons for this, but the most exciting one is that we are going to be able to make GPT-5 much better than we originally though. we also found it harder than we thought it was going to be to smoothly integrate everything. and we want to make sure we have enough capacity to support what we expect to be unprecedented demand.
Gemini 2.5 Pro
While I haven’t had the chance to test it out myself yet, early feedback suggests it’s setting a new benchmark for code generation — reportedly outperforming even Claude Sonnet 3.7.
Also Philipp Schmid just announced that Gemini 2.5 Pro is moving into public preview with scaled paid use and higher rate limits (while the free tier is still available.
GPT-4.5 seems to be a significant leap in AI development, setting new standards in code generation. The integration of RAG to provide LLMs access to specific knowledge libraries could revolutionize how companies leverage AI. Claude Code, introduced by Boris and Cat, appears to be a promising tool for software engineering. How will these advancements impact the future of AI-driven development and productivity?
I’m using GPT-4.1 quite a bit, and it is impressive. O3 & 04-mini as well, Gemini 2.5 Pro gets a lot of possitive feedback in the industry. In general, i think the technology is solidifying and cutting off the rough edges so that it becomes more reliable and trustworthy AND controllable. 4.1 has been trained specifically to follow instructions even closer … In essence, we have moved beyond the phase of early adoption into general adoption of AI.
