Strengths & weaknesses
Strengths
- Decides for itself when a question deserves deliberation, so you don't pick a model per task
- Much readier to say it doesn't know instead of inventing an answer
- Holds up better across long multi-file coding sessions than any earlier OpenAI model
Weaknesses
- Routing misjudgments made quality feel random — the same prompt could get a shallow or a deep answer
- Flatter, more clinical voice; users described losing a companion, not just a tool
- Under-answers by default, giving a summary where the previous line elaborated
