User lists OpenAI gaps: missing Astra, lagging Dots, slower models
A user says OpenAI is slightly behind, missing its cancelled GPT-6.1 Astra, and criticizes incomplete Dots, thin Plus/Pro value, delayed EU rollouts and slower models.
I do feel OpenAI are slightly behind right now. Obviously this isn't a merry-go-round and will change over and over, but I think they are desperately missing their cancelled GPT-6.1 Astra. - Dots are lagging behind Grok Bot, they are buggy and incomplete, focus should move to it - Plus tier needs more value, it's the plan most will sign up for but it needs to tease as many features as possible - Arguably so does Pro, it should not be a case of missing tools and features and should only be about compute levels to get for the amount we spend (though this then becomes inequality) - All UK and EU users are suffering because OpenAI release to the rest of the world before waiting for regulations to be approved. Anthropic seems way better at this. 🤔 - Messaging is poor, though you could say that for all labs - The UI is confusing and we desperately need this merge of work + Codex and how will this merge Chat without losing the current higher usage limits over Work mode - Dots vs ChatGPT needs feature parity, for example why has Dot not received the intelligent UI instantly? And yes their models are very slow now, even Luna. I don't sit around waiting for the answers anymore. Ultra fast is only ultra fast because normal mode has slowed down. 😜 Their voice mode is good though. Overall I have no concerns though, OpenAI's user count dwarfs Anthropic's right now.
