The problem with using SaaS vendors with their own AI solutions is that their incentives are to use cheap models, as little reasoning as possible & to stick with outdated prompting & RAG strategies than updating them as AI improves Not all vendors succumb to temptation, many do.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1965204136984805399

In retrospect it is surprising that OpenAI released o1-preview. As soon as they showed off reasoning, everyone copied it immediately. And if they had held off releasing a reasoning/planning model until o3 (& called that GPT-5) it would have been a startling leap in AI abilities.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1964373393983361074

As someone who has worked with Census data, the fact that GPT-5 can do this so easily is impressive But we can go even further!
