The cost-per-task in the charts from the now-remove blog post put it more at Sol-level cost per task, however. It seems like the model is significantly more token efficient in the benchmarks

that's all openai models but i'm very happy openai continues to focus on efficiency rather than reasoningtokenmaxxing

My assumption is in the long term that efficiency will break interpretability, which will lead to questionable alignment. As efficiency drives capitalism and evolution we'll run headlong at it and try to deal with the risk as a side effect.

either way we cannot see those thoughts anyway
