The most annoying part of all this is they replaced o1 with o3 without any notices or warnings. This is why I hate proprietary models.

Meanwhile we have people elsewhere in the thread complaining about too many models.

Assuming OpenAI are correct that o3 is strictly an improvement over o1 then I don't see why they'd keep o1 around. When they upgrade gpt-o4 they don't let you use the old version, after all.

Yesterday you were using Slack S7, and today you're suddenly using Slack 9S-o. That was fine in the desktop era, when new releases happened once a year - not every few weeks. You just can't keep up with all the versions. I think they should just stick with one brand and announce new releases as just incremental updates to that same brand/product (even if the underlying models are different): "the DeepSearch Update" or "The April 2025 Reasoning Update" etc. The model picker should be replaced entirely with a router that automatically detects which underlying model to use. Power users could have optional checkboxes like "Think harder" or "Code mode" as settings, if they want to guide the router toward more specialized models.
