My biggest frustration with the frontier AI companies isn't what they're announcing, but that the announced-thing that exists ~6 months later is severely nerfed to reduce compute spend. It doesn't resemble the demo in any way. For example, this was what the 4o voice capability sounded like in 2024(!) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgYi3Wr7v_g" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgYi3Wr7v_g. What exists today pales in comparison.
More like 2 weeks later. Around 2 weeks after Astra launched they started dropping the juice levels. I was able to run on low or med initially without problem. Now I need to run on xhigh and the results are still not as good as they were on launch.
