OpenAI o3 and o4-mini

Maybe OpenAI needs an easy mode for all these people saying 5 choices of models (and that's only if you pay) is simply too confusing for them.

They even provide a description in the UI of each before you select it, and it defaults to a model for you.

If you just want an answer of what you should use and can't be bothered to research them, just use o3(4)-mini and call it a day.

I personally like being able to choose because I understand the tradeoffs and want to choose the best one for what I’m asking. So I hope this doesn’t go away.

But I agree that they probably need some kind of basic mode to make things easier for the average person. The basic mode should decide automatically what model to use and hide this from the user.
