Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Daily AI Show. It is Thursday, November 13th. And yes, I did just have to check the date on my computer to know that actual date because it feels like all the days are running together these days. I am Beth Lyons. With me in the studio today is Andy Halliday. If you are joining us in our chat, thank you very much. Cisco Justin, AA Ron, yes, and Greg.
Welcome, everybody. If you want to come down and chat with us, you can chat with us in the YouTube Live. We can't chat back in LinkedIn, so that's why we say come join us in the YouTube Live. at The Daily AI Show. And you can also follow us later in the community, thedailyaishowcommunity.com. And we're at thedailyaishow.com for our newsletter.
If you are listening after the fact, we still want to hear from you. Definitely reach out to us and let us know what you think about that. All right. So that out of the way, Andy, what's your first news story?
Well, the big top of the newsletters news today is the release yesterday of GPT 5.1. So GPT-5 has replaced with a router kind of logic almost every other model. And recently, I've started to notice that model developers who've proliferated their model versions are starting to deprecate the older models just because they're falling into disuse.
But one of the problems that's emerged is a lot of complaining, even on our show, about GPT-5 and its behaviors. And GPT-5.1 is a very fast release to try to address some of those issues. But it was really released and discussed in a beautiful article, basically, in OpenAI's
release and on her sub stack by the main developer of of uh i i forget what the specialty area is for her but anyway i commend that and if you get a chance to read it's really well written and really explains in very clear and easy to understand terms what they've done to GPT-5 to create GPT-5.1. Overall, it improves the performance and enables more customized behavior.
You can basically, as we were discussing yesterday on the show, you can kind of give it instructions of how you want it to be with you. And that gets away from a sort of centralized personality that many find objectionable, even though some may find, you know, appreciable.
So it's this personalization of the model's behavior and personality in acting with you and speaking with you that I think is the principle of advancement of 5.1 over five. So what have you learned about it, Beth?
Well, it seemed like there were two models, two versions, an instant and a thinking. It does still seem like it's a router, so it's going to decide whether you should get instant or thinking on its own, although you can probably call for them or request it and that kind of stuff.
