Ask HN: How do you pick between different OpenAI LLMs?

1 points by endorphine ↗ HN
Let's say I'm searching for "how to disable monitor sleep in Linux/Xorg". There are a few options now:

1. Use o1

2. Use 4o

3. Use 4o with web searching enabled

4. Use legacy GPT4

How do you pick between all these knobs?

Also, let's say you want to ask: "was the French revolution a good thing and if so, why?"
