Also from the thread:

> 8/N Btw, we are releasing GPT-5 soon, and we’re excited for you to try it. But just to be clear: the IMO gold LLM is an experimental research model.

And from Sam Altman:

> we are releasing GPT-5 soon but want to set accurate expectations: this is an experimental model that incorporates new research techniques we will use in future models.

The wording you quoted is very tricky: the method used to create the model is generalizable, but the model is not a general-use model.

If I have a post-training method that allows a model excel at a narrow task, it's still a generalizable method if there's a wide range of narrow tasks that it works on.
