just discovered the perfect analogy:
- storyform reasoned by o1-mini = FX
- storyform reasoned by o1-preview = A24
same story, completely different thinking

did some more testing this morning. definitely feels like we’ve jumped timelines. it’s weird. o1-mini reasons storyforms that your typical writer would pick. o1-preview captures all the nuance and subtlety of a great author. find myself just staring at the screen in awe.
in-depth blog post on our first test with o1: Subtxt and System 2 Thinking: The Power of Precision with the o1 Model
First test of o1 without any tuning up? story idea to complete thematic Storyform in 30 seconds (storyform is a holistic representation of narrative conflict across 75 datapoints). Completely reasoned. 100% accurate. Insane implications from screenplays to gaming.
pricing on the new o1 models is not unreasonable if you’ve ever tried agentic/chain-of-thought reasoning with previous models. the repeated calls of the latter make the former quite attractive.
This new series of AI models can reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding, and math.
They forgot to add “story” too. 😊
This new model has huge implications for Storyforming.
something changed significantly with gpt-4o in the last couple of hours. the rote “Absolutely!” and “You got it!” are gone (thankfully) and the rest of the response sounds like a completely new voice.
I know endpoints were down around 6pm wonder if there have been some changes.
Beautiful day for coding. Brand new Max Richter on repeat: In A Landscape.
I forgot Y tu mama tambien had hand-off Main Characters. It’s rare, and this film does it right.
New landing page drop. 😊 subtxt.app
Degraded performance in the gpt-4o-mini model right in the middle of demo/class!! When it works it’s 100% pure magic, when it doesn’t, oh man does it fail spectacularly!
Creating characters and setting them loose within your story is a mere question away with the new Players functionality just added into Subtxt Muse. Watch them behave with integrity to the underlying themes of the narrative while maintaining their core motivations.
What it’s like to use Muse to expand a generic 5-page sequence of scenes into a fully formed and thematically consistent narrative: From Scene to Story: How a 5-page Screenplay Became My Narrative Blueprint.
Used Muse to analyze a screenplay I wrote a decade ago. Pretty much nailed everything that was wrong with it from a thematic standpoint. 😅 Just uploaded it and we started breaking it down together. Will post a follow-up later.
And this is too insane to not share right away, but I went through and took the narrative intent of First Blood and gave it a slight tweak, and Muse never buckled ONCE as it helped me form a new thematically consistent narrative. youtu.be/bsdsWSIBN…
Excited to share a Welcome Tour of the new Subtxt Muse - a way to develop a story that perfectly balances thematic structure with chaotic inspiration!
The most important line from today’s OpenAI blog on how Voice Engine works:
It’s important that people around the world understand where this technology is headed, whether we ultimately deploy it widely ourselves or not.
OpenAI held a Build Hour this week on Function Calling and hardly anyone talks about it. The presentation was absolutely phenomenal and will likely give you a ton of new ideas for your apps (it did mine).
I love that I can keep Muse up-to-date with the latest movies. Here’s one about Dream Scenario.
Building with AI is so ridiculously fun. Latest addition? Muse can now build new “empty” stories for authors (creating new model on backend). The idea that this is even possible, to just ask in plain language what you want–and have it work? How is this even possible?!
Latest episode of “Fun with Subtxt” is out. Continued my development of my Elf/Christmas Carol inspired story “A Tale of Two Spirits”. Kind of like “Shakespeare in Love”, but about how Dickens came up with the idea for “A Christmas Carol”. Developed with Subtxt (naturally!).
OAI fine-tuning engineer with the win: 🤣🤣
RedditAMA with OpenAI CEO. Good news for those using AI to develop their stories…no matter how spicy. 🌶️
All of us after Monday’s 10am presentation.
One of the fun things about building up an AI based on decades of narrative study, is remembering that you wrote something five years ago and forgot to publish it. 😊 The latest is this review of “Locke”, which was a really great one-man film starring Tom Hardy.
