GPT 4 vs GPT 4o vs GPT o1 | The Winner

Introduction

Welcome to Web Star Press! In this article, I will share my thoughts on three different GPT models: GPT-4, GPT-4o, and GPT-o1. Following my previous video where I briefly compared these models, I received a comment suggesting that I did not read the answers or compare the quality sufficiently. I understand the need for clarity and will provide a more in-depth comparison here.

Overview of the Models

I examined several questions and analyzed the responses from these models to find out which one performed the best.

1. The Cost of a Bat and a Ball

Question: If a bat and a ball cost $ 110 together and the bat costs $ 1 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?

• GPT-4 (CH 4): Provided a brief and accurate answer, stating that the ball costs $ 0.05. However, it lacked an explanation and reasoning.
• GPT-4o (CH 40): Offered a more structured, step-by-step breakdown of the reasoning, making it easier to understand the solution.
• GPT-o1 (CH 01): Gave the most detailed response, breaking down variables and using a substitution method, though it was somewhat lengthy for this simple problem.

Winner: GPT-4o for its balance of clarity and conciseness.

2. Measuring Water With Jugs

Question: You have a 3-gallon jug and a 5-gallon jug. How can you measure exactly 4 gallons of water using these two jugs?

• GPT-4 (CH 4): Gave a clear answer but skipped adding the jug capacities during the steps, requiring readers to visualize.
• GPT-4o (CH 40): Delivered a well-organized explanation with helpful math notes, making it easy to follow.
• GPT-o1 (CH 01): Provided the most detailed answer, including the amounts in each jug, but was longer than necessary.

Winner: GPT-4o for its clarity and completeness.

3. The Light Speed Headlights Scenario

Question: If you're traveling at the speed of light and you turn on your headlights, what happens?

• GPT-4 (CH 4): Provided a comprehensive yet verbose answer, mixing various aspects of relativity that might confuse readers.
• GPT-4o (CH 40): Concise and straightforward, focusing on practical implications rather than getting too deep into complexities.
• GPT-o1 (CH 01): Gave a well-rounded explanation discussing both theoretical and practical insights but was a bit lengthy.

Winner: GPT-4o for its clarity and simplicity.

4. The English Word Pronunciation Riddle

Question: What English word retains the same pronunciation even after you remove four of its five letters?

• GPT-4 (CH 4): Correctly identified the word but lacked additional explanation.
• GPT-4o (CH 40): Slightly more structured but still missed the chance to enhance understanding.
• GPT-o1 (CH 01): Provided a complete response with clear reasoning behind the word, making it engaging.

Winner: GPT-o1 for its thoroughness.

5. The Grandfather Paradox

Question: If you could travel back in time and prevent your own grandparents from meeting, what paradox would you create?

• GPT-4 (CH 4): Provided a thorough explanation but might overwhelm readers with too much detail.
• GPT-4o (CH 40): Offered a clear and concise description, focusing on core elements and mentioning key resolutions without unnecessary complexity.
• GPT-o1 (CH 01): Gave the most comprehensive response but could be long for a brief answer.

Winner: GPT-4o for its clear, balanced explanation.

6. Fibonacci Sequence in JavaScript

Question: How do you generate the Fibonacci sequence in JavaScript?

• GPT-4 (CH 4): Used a simple recursive function but highlighted performance deficiencies without alternatives.
• GPT-4o (CH 40): Provided a concise iterative solution that is more efficient.
• GPT-o1 (CH 01): Offered multiple methods, which was comprehensive, but could confuse someone looking for a quick solution.

Winner: GPT-o1 for its variety and depth.

Conclusion

In total, GPT-o1 emerged as the best option for two of the questions, while GPT-4o won four times. However, in my opinion, GPT-4o strikes the best balance between clarity, depth, and conciseness, making it the overall winner.
