interesting that GPT Image-2 managed to 2-shot this with thinking turned on, I didn't save a copy and it disappeared from my window but I first got a failure very similar to the one in the article, but it saw the issue and said it was going to use a reference image, after which it came out with https://i.imgur.com/hlWpQNT.jpeg
1- Getting OpenAI's models in Azure with no license fee is pretty nice.
2- Microsoft owns ~15-27% of OpenAI, if the agreement was hurting OpenAI more than it was helping Microsoft, seems reasonable to change the terms.
yes but as far as i know gpt tokenizer is about the same as opus 4.6's, where 4.7 is seeing something in the ballpark of a 30% increase. this should still be cheaper even disregarding the concerns around 4.7 thinking burning tokens
>For API developers, gpt-5.5 will soon be available in the Responses and Chat Completions APIs at $5 per 1M input tokens and $30 per 1M output tokens, with a 1M context window.
So I think this article is a bit misleading, he did not invent the polyhedral dice, he just made them better. "He was the first to create polyhedral dice for the U.S. market" is a weird sentence, I'm not sure what it's going for, but I think it's referring to the fact that early D&D dice were I believe imported, but I forget the details.
One bit I love from the early history of Gamescience is he didn't have the capital to make a full D&D set off the bat, so he'd get one dice mold made, release that one, then take the profits to make the next mold. Forget which was first but I think the d4 was early.
