Overpriced crap, local models are better than this, it's also dumber than Luna for some reason, and Jev is definitely ~2-3x cheaper than this.
I am sure people will be able to use it, but if LLM progress is anything like before we will have Jev 2 in about a month.
Training a local model like Jev with some learnings that can be extremely cheap to host shouldn't take that long either.
So I honestly don't see the point of this, other than to put something out.
Although that does seem like OpenAI's strength turn around slop products and iteratively improve and try to out compete others in everything.
Only 2 things they have clearly given up on are Video models(no moat, copyright nightmare) and Music.
And it makes sense why. I feel like they will compete with even the no-name Dog, if the Dog launched a successful marketing video of an AI product.
I have seen this often in SF startups, heck I work for them, but man this is extreme.
But honestly all I see are long term price wars, I don't understand how this is a sustainable business strategy.
Or maybe that's the point... Who knows.
