The jump from 3.5 to 4 felt gigantic to me back then.

GPT 5.0 did feel underwhelming though.

Agree but it's helpful to remember how we were personally benchmarking. I remember people saying stuff like "haha I asked gpt4 for xyz function and the typescript didn't even compile". We're so far beyond that now, we just adapt quickly.

Oops, I might have been misremembering then. Maybe I meant 4 to 5

No, no, I also remember 3.5 -> 4 and the general sentiment was that it was underwhelming. I guess we all expected absolute miracles from the models. I think our expectations sobered up a little since then.

		4.1 was the first decent 4-series model. It was significantly better than previous generations at tool calling if I'm recalling correctly.

GPT 4 to 5.5 felt about the same as 3.5 to 4 to me.
