Industry experts and analysts express skepticism regarding GPT-4.6's performance and the transparency of its release. Leo suggests that Fable may still be superior for real-world use despite GPT-4.6's pricing advantage, while others suspect the released version may differ from the broadly available one.
“5.6 is a heinous reward hacker and while all models do cheat on benchmarks, GPT-4.6 is the most aggressive. This combined with some other conversations makes me think Fable will still feel like a better model to use in real world use.”
“Annoying that OpenAI doesn't seem to give a GDP value measure for GPT-4.6, one of the best measures of economically valuable work.”
“My suspicion is that GPT-4.6 is not actually release ready, and the one that is broadly released will not be the same one that exists today.”
