It could have been worse, the Dots name was originally "o" and the introduction videos they have put out have been clearly dubbed over
reply> Sign in with ChatGPT: how is this not major news? They're launching with partnerships with a bunch of harnesses so you can use your subscription outside of Codex.
replyMaybe the sign on process is new but OpenAI has explicitly allowed subscriptions to be used in 3rd party apps at least as long as I've been a subscriber (a few months)
Oh gotcha, I didn’t know that. I thought it was both OpenAI and Anthropic that prohibited that.
reply"Cloud Agents" is just a blatant copy of Anthropic's offering. "Dots" is a copy of the Grok bot. Regarding the release of 6.1 Sol - I’m not dismissing it, and the model will likely be useful for many things, but come on: there is no way your flagship model doesn't compete with Sonnet 5.5. I can't say for sure, but there must be a reason they didn't show any benchmarks. The live demos were absolutely ridiculous. Sure, there are some useful features, but overall, it feels like they're missing the mark. Instead of simplifying AI usage, they're complicating it to the point where it's no longer clear where you're supposed to do anything.
replyI was talking about Cursor's Cloud Agents, which predate Anthropic's offering. Obviously they're all going in this direction, it's a no-brainer. I don't think calling it "useless" makes any sense just because Cursor and Anthropic were ahead of them there (if they were, I know nothing about Anthropic's cloud agent offering).
replyWell, it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say it was bad. It’s simply a matter of falling in line with the rest of the industry. I was expecting something of a higher standard or something new, so I’m disappointed.
