I haven't found really any use case that o1 was better than 4o or 3.5 Sonnet that related to actual work.

Any time I tried some of the more complex prompts I was working through something with Sonnet or 4o, o1 would totally miss important points and ignore a lot of the instructions while going really deep trying to figure out some relatively basic portions of the prompt.

Seems fine for reasonably simple prompts, but gets caught up when things get deeper.

Yeah, I generally agree with that. Why I said it only moved them from stochastic parrot campers to "possible" believers - to clarify, the few I've had test it have all pretty much said "this feels like it could lead to real reasoning/productivity/advances/intelligence".
