Looking at this, I am pretty sure I also received a "libx264" clause. Removing it made the command work for me.

I don't disagree that we need to be cautious with LLMs, but I've personally stopped asking GPT-4/GPT-4 mini for technical answers. Sonnet 3.5 and DeepSeek V3 (which is much cheaper but still not as good as Sonnet) are your best bet for technical questions.

Where I find GPT to perform better than Sonnet is with text processing. GPT seems to better understand what I want when it comes to processing documents.

I'm convinced that no LLM provider has created or will create a moat, and that we will always need to shop around for an answer.

  • everyone stopped using 4/4mini because theyre old.

    4o replaced 4 back in April 2024. 01/01mini replaced 4o in Fall 2024.

    stop using 4. use 01mini always. its cheaper, faster, and better.

    o1/o1mini will be replaced by o3/o3mini in a couple months.

    • Unfortunately you need to be tier 2 to use o1-mini. The only time I really use GPT is to summarize documents and for that, GPT-4o mini works well enough and it is significantly cheaper than other high quality models, so I never really rack up an OpenAI bill.

    • o1 is such a joke, worse than 4o in some ways like multiturn,

      The months old sonnet feels a generation ahead of any OAI product I've used, I'll believe the hype on o3 when I see it, remember the sora and voice roll out?

libx264 is the best encoder for h264 ffmpeg has to offer so it's pretty important you bundle it in your ffmpeg install. Those commands are perfectly standard, I've been using something like that for 10+ years
