OpenAI O3-Mini 1 year ago

This is the mini version which is not as good as o1 and I don’t think they demoed in the o3 announcement. I’m hoping the full release will be impressive

OpenAI O3-Mini 1 year ago

Did they even think about what happens when they get to o4? We’re going to have GPT-4o and o4

I’ve found v4 to be much better at following formatting. If I put “reply with code only” in the system message then I don’t get all the explanations.

The system message is completely useless in 3.5 though and you’re better off putting your instructions in the first user message.

I haven’t used v4 in production yet though because it is so slow. I really hope they speed it up.

4. From a financial point of view, I’m still paying the employee and the service, so either I need enough services and time savings that I can eliminate a job, or the service has to have positive ROI of its own.

More likely, there's other work that the employee could be doing that will help your company grow

That compound in particular is used to help replace a C-OH bond with a C-CN bond. It may seem like a weird chemical but it's very commonly used in organic synthesis.

Why wouldn't the same but with a more typical fully-carbon backbone work?

Because a fully carbon backbone would not be as reactive and would not attach/detach from the intermediate as needed

There will certainly be maintenance costs during that 20 years though.

I do like the idea that as PV efficiencies improve you only have to swap out one cell per dish

Have any idea how much a ZenithSolar unit costs? Apparently they've given an Israeli community of 1100 people a surplus of electricity with only 16 units.

Zenith Solar is certainly more advanced. Thanks for pointing it out.

The difference between the two projects though is open source vs proprietary. Zenith looks very impressive but Solar Fire is meant to put solar power cheaply and easily into anyone's hands. They are both worth following IMO
