OpenAI's Model Mess: Now GPT-4.1 Adds to ChatGPT Confusion

OpenAI adds GPT-4.1 to ChatGPT, increasing user confusion with its growing AI model options like GPT-4o and various specialized versions, despite promises of simplification. GPT-4.1 offers a large context window and improved coding capabilities.

1. The addition of GPT-4.1 to ChatGPT contradicts the goal of simplifying OpenAI's model lineup.
2. Choosing the right AI model in ChatGPT depends more on personal taste and desired outcome than on objective capability.
3. GPT-4.1 is primarily positioned as a faster AI model for coding assistance compared to other models.
4. Even the "more capable" models in ChatGPT have usage limits due to higher operational costs for OpenAI.
5. All AI models are prone to confabulations, requiring users to double-check outputs with other sources.
