What I find odd is that o1 doesn't support attaching text documents to chats the way 4o does. For a model that specializes in reasoning, reading long documents seems like a natural feature to have.
If Sama ever reads this, I have no idea why no users seem to focus on this, but it would be really good to prioritise being able to select which model you can use with the custom myGPTs. I know this maybe hard or not possible without recreating them , but I still dont think it's possible.
I dont think most customers realise how much better the models work with custom GPTs.
They hyped them like crazy and haven't discussed them once since then. I agree that the inability to change the model is pretty absurd when the whole point was to "supercharge" specific tasks.
There was even talk of some sort of profit sharing with creators which clearly never happened. I just think the premise is too confusing for many and can still be served by using a custom system prompt via the API.
Was it hyped? I tried a few of them and they seemed absolutely useless. Like I could install a “custom GPT” that just appends something to my prompt? How great..
No the whole
Point is you make a gpt for yourself and upload all your related documents to it and then query that. It performs 10x better than a generic query without attaching every single doc that could be relevant.
I am unsure if the answer is to use “projects” maybe this has superseded myGpts?
I am perplexed why HN isn’t focusing on this issue as all the Llm gains I’ve ever had were wit highly customised personal myGpts.
I can understand OpenAI and Sam’s having access to their own models may not even know what the best way to use the released stuff is
This is something being done but not for consumers right now. On a more roll your own basis. I know a few people whose companies have already established their own gpt trained on their own internal codebase, standards, documentation, and I’m sure relevant reference information as well. Think big r and d companies in stem.
"When using custom instructions or files, only GPT-4o is available". Straight out of the ChatGPT web interface when you try to select which model you want to use.
