Sam Altman’s Bold Claim: Is OpenAI’s New Model Really Better Than DeepSeek? 🤔

by

So, Sam Altman, the big cheese over at OpenAI, is strutting around claiming their new AI model is going to be better than DeepSeek. Really? Better? I mean, come on, it’s like saying your homemade lasagna is better than Olive Garden’s. Sure, it might be, but let’s not kid ourselves here.

They had a meeting last night—because nothing says “we’re serious” like a meeting, right? Altman was all, “We were late to the party, but now we’re going to do it right.” Oh, great! So, we’re just going to ignore the fact that they missed the bus? Classic! 🙄

Then he had to deal with the pesky questions about DeepSeek’s affordable models. He’s like, “Our growth is steady; DeepSeek’s launch didn’t change a thing.” Sure, Sam, keep telling yourself that while you’re counting your 800 million users. I mean, who’s counting, right? Oh wait, you are! 😂

DeepSeek, the new kid on the block, has been racking up users like it’s going out of style. Meanwhile, Altman’s over here bragging about ChatGPT’s 10% of the world’s users. Wow, 10%! That’s like being the tallest kid in kindergarten. Not exactly a world record, but hey, it’s something!

And let’s not forget the shiny new toys they’ve launched—GPT-4.1, 4.1-mini, and 4.1-nano. Sounds like a techy version of a Russian nesting doll. “Look at us! We’re great at coding and instruction following!” Well, that’s fantastic, but can it make me a sandwich? 🍔

“GPT-4.1 (and -mini and -nano) are now available in the API!

These models are great at coding, instruction following, and long context (1 million tokens).

Benchmarks are strong, but we focused on real-world utility, and developers seem very happy.

GPT-4.1 family is API-only.”

Altman’s all about making AI that people actually want to use without breaking the bank. You know, like a good pizza joint that doesn’t charge you an arm and a leg. And then he drops the bomb that they launched o3-mini, which is 95% cheaper than the old GPT-4. Wow, 95%! That’s like finding a dollar in your old coat pocket. Who knew AI could be a bargain? 🤑
