When a model comes out, I usually think about it in terms of my own use. This is largely agentic tooling, and I mostly us Claude Code. All the hallucination and eval talk doesn't really catch me because I feel like I'm getting value of these tools today.
However, this model is not _for_ me in the same way models normally are. This is for the 800m or whatever people that open up chatgpt every day and type stuff in. All of them have been stuck on GPT-4o unbeknwst to them. They had no idea SOTA was far beyond that. They probably dont even know that there is a "model" at all. But for all these people, they just got a MAJOR upgrade. It will probably feel like turning the lights on for these people, who have been using a subpar model for the past year.
That said I'm also giving GPT-5 a run in Codex and it's doing a pretty good job!
