MY GPT-5.1 PRO REVIEW

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

GPT-5.1 Pro is a slow, heavy-weight reasoning model that feels intelligent and can handle tough problems. It follows instructions well without going off the rails, making it feel like a contract engineer working from a spec rather than an assistant. Its biggest weakness is its interface, as is lives in ChatGPT, not in the IDE. Gemini 3 is still better for most day-to-day work. However, GPT-5.1-Pro wins in deep thought, planning, and research.
