That is revisionist history. Look at Altman's hype statements in the weeks and months leading up to gpt5, some of which were quoted in the article. He never proposed gpt5 as what you're saying and indeed he claimed a massive leap in model performance.

> After that, a top goal for us is to unify o-series models and GPT-series models by creating systems that can use all our tools, know when to think for a long time or not, and generally be useful for a very wide range of tasks.

There's also another one, earlier that says gpt5 will be about routing things to the appropriate model, and not necessarily a new model per se. Could have been in a podcast. Anyway, receipts have been posted :)
