3. working seamlessly would be a major thing. 1. and 2.? I used both, together, for months, via TypingMind.com (alternative frontend UI, bring-your-own-API-key).

This is not to advertise the service - even though it does deserve it, at the very least for having a perpetual license instead of subscription bullshit - just to say that a) OpenAI is lagging way behind the obvious in everything surrounding the models themselves, and b) the combination of 1. and 2. is convenient, but not ground-breaking. At least, not unless you hook a powerful enough "actuator" via 2. This, I agree, seems underexplored.

(Or underreported? It's an obvious lever to go after, a lot of people have said they're going after it, it's reasonable to expect some spectacular results from this, and yet... nothing. Crickets. Is everyone just staying silent and trying to build a bullshit startup to monetize whatever cool thing they made?)
