A bit sad how the GPT-5 launch is going so far, especially after the long wait and high expectations - The automatic switching between models (the router) seems partly broken/unreliable - It's unclear exactly which model you're actually interacting with (standard or mini, reasoning level, old/new) - Router issues probably contribute to many negative first impressions ("GPT-5 is bad"), especially when you can't easily tell which model is handling your requests - e.g. GPT-5 Thinking performs better at writing compared to standard GPT-5 ("think harder" prompts might also help) - I'm seeing lots of complaints about legacy models being removed and usage limits for Plus (and also Free) accounts ("bring back 4o, o3, ...") - Context window lengths aren't clear, nor how many and which exact GPT-5 models ChatGPT uses (standard, mini, new, old) - no indicator of which model is active at any moment - The gradual rollout and current capacity constraints add to confusion, because not everyone can access the new models yet - Mixed-up charts during the livestream provided plenty of free material for chart-crime and vibe-charting posts, which hasn't helped build trust or confidence - And of course, the community had extremely high expectations across all fronts and modalities, as usual I'm hoping improvements in the next hours/days, and today's AMA, can clarify some of these open issues and questions
