THE BIG GIST
OpenAI just dropped GPT-4.1
And yes, they claim it’s better than GPT-4o in almost every way.
It’s faster, more accurate, and 26% cheaper than GPT-4.0.
Great at following instructions, and can process 750,000 words in one go.
It has a June 2024 knowledge cutoff & gives you up-to-date answers that GPT-4.0 can’t.
On the coding front, it outperformed GPT-4.0 but couldn’t beat Google’s Gemini 2.5 or Claude 3.7.
Right now, it’s only available via API (sorry, non-devs.)
While some platforms throw “AI” around to run off with your money (hi CBEX 🙃), OpenAI is actually improving how we build, code, and solve real problems.
Ever booked a place and immediately missed your own bed? Me too.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
Bedrock
I recently came across Bedrock Residencies, and honestly, it just makes sense.
Their apartments are tucked away in Ikeja GRA and Opebi, and they’ve nailed that homey-but-still-modern vibe.
You get cozy furniture, a clean space that doesn’t feel like 50 people have stayed there before you, and actual peace of mind.
In Lagos for a work trip? Short stay? Or just hiding from adulting for a bit? This is the kind of place that gets it.
Oh, and if you use the Bedrock app to book, there’s a 20% discount waiting for you with the code BR-MARCH.
Might be worth checking out if you're tired of the usual hotel routine.
