OpenAI has released two new "chain-of-thought" models, o1-preview and o1-mini, which prioritize reasoning over speed and cost. These models are trained to think step-by-step, enabling them to handle more complex prompts requiring backtracking and deeper analysis. While the reasoning process is hidden from users due to safety and competitive advantage concerns, it allows for improved results in tasks like generating Bash scripts, solving crossword puzzles, and validating data.
It's important to consistently communicate team priorities and frame tradeoffs clearly when handling high-priority requests from leadership. The "steelmanning" technique, which involves thoroughly understanding and presenting the strongest case for new requests to make more informed decisions, can also be useful.

The so-called "SSO Tax" in SaaS pricing is not an unfair practice but rather a form of price discrimination that is both logical and beneficial for both vendors and customers. Price discrimination is inherent in any market, as buyers have different preferences and willingness to pay. Vendors need to segment their customers to maximize their revenue. For example, airlines have different pricing tiers that allow vendors to offer more affordable basic tiers while still catering to the needs of high-paying customers.
