This could and probably is me projecting, but the enthusiasm was tepid. The Opus 5.5 mog cast a pall on the room.
The stuff that came off as potentially exciting was the ultrafast stuff available only to Pro 500 users.
The reset button stuff was an embarrassment. Everything that was released today, in respect to the hype that the team projected on twitter, was a failure. The internal OpenAI slack is a hell of an echo chamber.
If that's true that restores my faith in humanity maybe they're cheering for stuff their friends were working on. Otherwise, the consumerism has reached a point where giving up on society and waiting for the next flood seems like a reasonable option.

The crowd lost their minds before Sam even told them what Dots were.
He even called them out on it when announcing 6.1 Sol "You don't even know what it is yet"

(I remember that being the explanation of why people would cheer at very lame things at Apple events.)

Maybe they were cheering on The Muppets inspired AI avatars, resembling Kermit, Scooter etc.
