1-800-CHAT-GPT definitely the right resource prioritization in the most competitive important tech market in a decade.

Introducing Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, an experimental model that explicitly shows its thoughts.

And we see promising results when we increase inference time…

I don't think openAI would be in a better spot if they put the handful of people responsible for the feature on the core product (likely out of their expertise).

this to me seems pure startup-like experimentation. sure it's for an unusual audience, but one which is also currently neglected by all competitors. it might stick, evolve, or fail. regardless it's quite cool to see a company of that size aggressively experimenting (especially with ux patterns, which could lead to unexpected and valuable insights) regardless of the outcome.

so it doesn't look bearish at all to me — if anything the opposite

OpenAI is not a startup anymore. But they are founder led and have the ability to stay laser focused

OpenAI is growing as fast as a promising new startup, but they're already huge. I can't remember ever having seen this before.
