Agreed. Release announcements and benchmarks always sound world-changing, but the reality is that every new model is bringing smaller practical improvements to the end user over its predecessor.
The point above is the said amazing multimodal version of ChatGPT was announced in May and are still not the actual offered way to interact with the service in September (despite the model choice being called 4 omni it's still not actually using multimodal IO). It could be a giant leap in practical improvements but it doesn't matter if you can't actually use what is announced.
This one, oddly, seems to actually be launching before that one despite just being announced though.
