Less bang, more incremental steps

OpenAI pitched GPT-5 as a major leap. Altman even likened it to the first iPhone with Retina display—but early reviews call it a minor upgrade in disguise. Improvements are real but feel muted.

Behind the scenes: cost, speed, reliability

The model shines in backend efficiency—faster responses, lower hallucinations, and a smart “switch system” that routes queries to the right sub-model (think: “fast” vs “deep thinking”)—even if it doesn’t wow creatively

Tone-deaf reactions: warmth matters

Users slammed GPT-5’s tone as cold and formulaic, missing the human touch of GPT-4o. The backlash was strong enough that OpenAI reinstated 4o and pledged future model retirements would come with warning.

Misleading optics at launch

During the reveal, OpenAI displayed misleading graphs—like a deceptive “deception rate” chart—that weren’t accurate. Altman owned the mistakes, calling it a “mega chart screwup,” and the company issued corrections later.

Mixed signals on trust vs hype

Experts and users describe GPT-5 as “underwhelming” or even “not a massive step forward.” Yet Altman doubles down on utility, saying it’s “the smartest model we’ve ever done,” emphasizing real-world value over flash.

TensorDock

Think of this as your no-nonsense GPU-in-the-cloud hookup. TensorDock lets you spin up enterprise-grade GPU servers—like NVIDIA H100 SXM5 or RTX 4090—for as little as $2.25/hr or start with just $5. No minimums, no quotas, just rapid deployment in seconds. It’s lean, global, and reportedly up to 80 % cheaper than big-name clouds. Ideal for AI training, rendering, or even cloud gaming when you're tired of infrastructure headaches.
Whispers from the community mention occasional hiccups when spinning up instances—but the support team seems quick on the draw. 

folk.app

Imagine a CRM that’s as friendly as a spreadsheet but smarter. Folk gives you templates you can edit like Excel and sprinkles in AI to auto-enrich contacts, take notes in meetings, and remind you when to follow up. It integrates with e-mail, calendars, LinkedIn—you name it—and even lets you create custom “Magic Fields” that generate tailored text from your data. It’s reactive, proactive, and built with teams in mind. 

Motion (formerly UseMotion)

Not just an AI assistant but a full-blown AI team player—Motion builds “AI Employees” and hands off repetitive tasks with context. Need your emails drafted, meetings summarized, or a whole project mapped and scheduled for you? Done. It auto-schedules based on deadlines, availability, SOPs, and spits out actionable plans—with humans still in the loop. You stay in charge while Motion handles the grunt work. 

Flick.social

Social media execution, decluttered and sharpened. Flick is built for content creators and marketers who need smart tools to plan, write, schedule, and analyze their posts—without the guesswork. Think hashtag discovery, caption drafting, post scheduling, analytics dashboards, and content planning tools all rolled into one AI-powered dashboard. It’s like having a virtual social assistant that helps your content get seen and perform better. 

Lazarus AI

Think of Lazarus as an intelligence engine for messes—PDFs, handwritten notes, charts, you name it. Their core tech, RikAI, pulls context and data from just about any document format typed or handwritten, basic or complex—no training required. It designs vector knowledge graphs, handles counterfactual reasoning (“what’s possible vs. impossible”), and understands temporal sequences—all wrapped into extraction-ready AI that governments, insurers, and healthcare organizations can drop into their workflows. 

Iterative Health

They’re not just about fancy visuals. Iterative Health has a laser focus: gastrointestinal care. Their AI-backed tools supervise colorectal cancer screening in real time (polyp detection, inflammation scoring, you name it). Their SKOUT system boosts accuracy and consistency in colonoscopies, and their AI Recruitment supports clinical trials by helping enroll the right patients. It's precision tech meeting real-world care. 

Locker (Wantlocker)

Imagine Pinterest for shopping. That’s Locker, a Chrome extension and mobile app where you save products you love, organize them into collections (like “Dorm Essentials”), and earn rewards while doing it. You can discover collages made by others, share wishlists, and never lose track of that cool item again. 

Voicera

Voicera gives your words ears and even your face. It turns articles and blog posts into natural-sounding audio embeds. On top of that, their multimodal AI decodes vocal tone, facial expressions, and nonverbal cues so businesses can assess sincerity, rapport, and emotion better than before.
