🤯 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). |

Hey Reader, I didn't sleep much this week. Codex was too much fun... just one more prompt... ... then one more ... then it's 1am. You know the feeling. My problem was that I couldn't stop. You might be the opposite: too many app ideas, too many models, and no idea where to start. So pick one thing and push it forward. And if you're overthinking it, this video is for you. Paul Solt @PaulSolt Codex unblocked my app development progress and solved my motivation problem for updating an old, “soon...
Hey Reader, Codex feels like a small team now. It codes, does market research, reviews my emails, and helps me think. This week, the desktop app got thread management updates, and Codex on iPhone got a ton of bug fixes.

Hey Reader, Every indie dev has an app like this: Made some money and then died... Mine made $5K since 2018. Eight years of deprecated code ... I never had energy to touch it. It wasn't worth weeks of cleanup for an app making a few dollars per month. THEN I gave it to Codex. The cleanup was done in 30 minutes. Now I'm shipping the redesign I'd been stuck on for years.
