After trying to implement a simple assistant/helper with GPT-4.1 and getting some dumb behavior from it, I doubt even proprietary models are good enough for every task.

What if GPT-4.1 was just the wrong model to use?

If OpenAI's flagship model can't add a simple calendar event, that doesn't do much to assuage my disappointment...

I remember vividly that the focus on GPT-4.1 to speak more humane and be more philosophical when speaking. I remember something like that. That model is special and is not meant like a next generation of their other models like 4o and o3.

You should try a different model for your task.

I think you're confusing GPT-4.5 with GPT-4.1. GPT-4.1 is their recommended model for non-reasoning API use.

You are right!
