4o on ChatGPT.com vs. Opus in an IDE is like cooking food without kitchen tools vs. using them. 4o is neither a coding-optimized model nor a reasoning model in general.

Aider has been doing that for a long time now, it was the first project to do this afaik.


They have a healthy enterprise customer base, and an engineering team that clearly knows how to work with power users (which OpenAI is bad at).


They have an old-school enterprise sales operation that is doing superb work. Apart from that, ChatGPT's projects are useless crap (can't read other convos in a project; can't generate project documents from a convo), and so clearly they would get value out of just getting some developers who have built anything of use to a poweruser.


Having experience with digitizing a university textbook in physics by hand, this is a very nice LaTeX guide for everyone interested. One thing worth noting from 2025 perspective that the "default" local setup is most likely going to be VSCode with LaTeX Workshop[1] and LTeX+[2] extensions, and that you should use TeX Live on every platform supported by it (since MiKTeX and friends can lag). Also, use LuaTeX, as it's the officially recommended[3] engine since November 2024.
