🤯 The new ChatGPT is insane!
|
Have you tried the latest AI models? The boost in performance is insane. Here's my first look at o3-mini-high that just came out yesterday... The "high" means that it has high levels of reasoning, so it thinks more. So this can help you reason about code. There are also "low" and "medium" reasoning versions of o3-mini.
"mini" means that it is faster than the full model (which will be called o3 if they keep using such confusing names).
Watch ChatGPT build an app in less than 3 minutes! This is crazy! If you want to follow along, here's a prompt with the Xcode project using SwiftUI. It's not the best code, but the fact that you can prototype a concept so quickly is game changing. The code isn't using the latest Swift 6 features ... I need to figure out how to prompt that portion better. Talk soon, Paul Solt P.S. How have you used AI tools to write code or assist you? For me, they work great for prototyping. But you need to take over after a few iterations because they start introducing errors as the code gets more complex (and they can't fix the errors without introducing more errors). |
