ChatGBT 5.1 just dropped and do not be

fooled. This isn't just a small 0.1

update. This is actually a pretty

considerable update and I've really

really been enjoying this model. In this

video, I'm going to go over all the

strengths, all the weaknesses,

everything you need to know, and then

give you my exact perfect workflow I

would use to get the most out of Chat

GPT 5.1. You are going to learn a lot in

this video. Let's lock in and get into

it. So, here is Sam's announcement. 5.1

is out and it is a nice upgrade. I agree

with that. I actually think that's an

understatement. I think it's more than

just a nice upgrade. I particularly like

the improvements in instruction

following and the adaptive thinking. But

here's the part I found more important

and I actually see the true upgrades.

That is with the intelligence and style

improvements. These two things for me

have been massive in my test. I've been

testing 5.1 now since the moment it

released. I've gone through coding. I've

gone through creative thinking. I've

gone through just intelligence and vibes

and I have a lot to say about it. Here

are what my tests have shown me so far.

Let's actually start on the weaknesses

side here. It is marginally better at

coding. So, it is not sonnet level yet.

I've done some tests. I've had it build

a few apps for me. I've had it build a

few benchmarks out. It is marginally

better than chat GBT5. It is not better

than sonnet so far in my tests. This is

not codeex 5.1. So, this is not their

coding model. So, we'll have to wait to

see if a codeex model comes that is

specifically built for coding, but so

far in my coding tests, not as good as

sonnet, marginally better than five.

There's also no artifact type

functionality in the chat still. I

really wanted to see this. Claude has

this where you can have it build apps

and actually shows up inside the chat

experience. That doesn't have it yet,

but but for me, it's still a very, very

good update. Here are the strengths. It

is the first model I've used that has

actually come up with really good

creative novel ideas for me. So, I'm

working on an app I'm building out right

now. Has social network functional. It

basically makes building a fun gamified

experience. And I've been building this

out now for a while and I've been using

GBT as my co-pilot to help me come up

with new ideas. I'm going to be honest,

the ideas it comes up with aren't great,

but it's been a good partner to chat

with. The ideas that 5.1 has come up

with for me have been amazing. In my

test, it has come up with like literally

eight different novel creative ideas I

have never seen before from any other

AI. It has been excellent. So for you,

this is how you want to use it. And I'm

going to go into an exact workflow in

just a minute here. I'll show you

exactly how I use this with my coding

tools, exactly how you should be using

5.1. But this has been the best model I

have ever used when it comes to novel

creative ideas, bouncing ideas off the

model and getting ideas back that I

haven't thought of before. If you've

ever gone to an AI before and said,

"Hey, can you come up with ideas for

this app I'm building or come up ideas

for what I should build or content I

should write?" It always feels very AI,

right? Like it always gives you ideas

that no one would ever use or do. It's

just like, what kind of stupid idea is

this? This is the first time I've talked

to a model where the ideas are actually

interesting, humanlike, and novel. It is

very creative. Uh, it's been very good

at writing so far for me at coming up

with content. Has been very good at

that. And this might be the most

important part. It has been the best

vibes of any model I've talked to. It is

the It is the best to talk to model. And

you know what I'm talking about, right?

Sometimes you talk to an AI and it feels

like a robot. It doesn't feel very

human. It doesn't feel very warm. Vibes

are incredibly important when talking to

a mom. It's the same reason a lot of

people still talk to 40 even though it

is 10,000 times dumber than chat GBT5.

People still talk to 40 because they

like the vibes. They like all the emojis

it throws at you and it feels warm and

friendly. I personally don't like any of

that stuff. But for 51 for an adult

trying to use an AI, it is the best

vibes. It just feels the nicest, the

warmest while also being very

intelligent. It's also very

customizable. And I'll show you this in

a second when we get into GPT 5.1 in the

actual workflow, but they've added more

customization options so you can get

better responses out of your AI. So,

let's get into the workflow now and how

you should be using 5.1. So, the first

thing you want to do when you get into

5.1 is first you want to switch it to

thinking. I think the thinking model of

5.1 is the best, but you also get 5.1

instant now. Uh, as well as the 5.1

regular kind of auto. I like thinking. I

think thinking is incredible. I like to

use it. We don't have the 5.1 Pro yet. I

assume that's going to be coming out

soon. Pro is still GPT5, but for 5.1 we

get thinking auto and instant.

Immediately switch to thinking. Thinking

is the best. So, the next thing you want

to do is customize the model. They've

added some new customization options.

So, if you click your name and you go

into personalization, which I'm glad

they kind of lifted this the front menu

now, you can actually see base style and

tone. There's actually brand new styles

now. Brand new styles. I put in my own

custom instructions, but I have been

testing candid and professional. I like

candid. I would switch to candid. And if

you do candid, you're going to get a lot

more direct answers than you were

getting before. One of my biggest uh

annoyances with chat GBT in the past is

it kind of glazes it dance around. It

puts it tries to make you feel good.

Candid is a lot more direct uh and

better responses. So, I would

immediately go in here, switch the bass

style and tone into candid. Or if you

want to change to any of these other

ones, you can do that. I like candid.

Hit save on that and you are good to go.

But let's talk about the workflow now.

Right now that we've played with the

customization options, let's talk about

the workflow. Here's the workflow I

really like. What you're going to want

to do is you're going to want to

download the Chat GPT desktop app. It is

completely free. Go download it. The

reason why I like to use the desktop app

is it makes it much easier to use chat

GPT as a co-pilot for whatever you're

doing. So, here's what I like to do. I

like to be building my app, and you can

be using any app you want to build this,

whether you're a cursor fan, a codeex

fan, a Claude Code fan. Say I'm building

my app out inside of Claude Code. What

I'm going to do is exactly what you see

here is I'm going to have the Chad GPT

app to the side of my development

environment. And this doesn't just have

to be for coding or building. You can do

this for anything you do on your

computer. Have chat GPT 5.1 thinking up.

And what I like to do is as I'm doing

any sort of activity, I basically go,

hey, I'm doing this right now. Can you

come up with new ideas or interesting or

novel ways to approach this problem? And

what I've found through my test so far

is 5.1 thinking has been spectacular at

this. Anything I do, anything I'm

building, any task or kind of logical

challenge I have, I run it by Chad GBT

5.1 thinking first and it so far has

given me the most interesting, creative,

novel ideas and approaches to tackle

challenges of any AI model I've ever

used. Right? Again, I was talking about

earlier, I've been building my app, uh,

which is that AI vibe code app store.

The ideas it's been feeding me while

I've been building have been

spectacular. new ways to approach the

social feed in it, new challenges to

give, new ways to up engagement. It has

been so creative and novel the ideas

have been given me. It's been amazing.

So, my workflow I really recommend for

everyone watching this at home. Download

the Chad GBT desktop app. Keep it open

to the side of whatever it is you're

doing. If you watch this channel, you

probably build a lot of things, but

maybe you're just a creator. You're

doing other things. Even if you're at

work and you have tasks to do at work,

keep this open. Keep 5.1 thinking open

to the side so you always have it top of

mind. And every task you do, run it by

5.1 thinking. I promise you, the results

you're going to get are going to be so

much better than anything you've gone

before. And it's going to improve every

workflow you do, every task you do.

You'll find new ways to do it better

with this brand new model. If you can

incorporate AI into all of your thinking

tasks you do on a daily basis,

everything you do will improve and get

better and be smarter. AI just makes you

that much better. And this fi new 5.1

thinking model for me has taken my

workflow even to a higher level than it

was before. This just dropped. It's

incredible. If you want to stay ahead on

the cutting edge of technology, if you

want to stay ahead of your competition,

you need to be using the latest tools

the moment they drop. This is the latest

tool. This is the latest workflow. You

have to be taking advantage of it. If

you learned anything at all, leave a

like, subscribe, and turn on

notifications. I'm going to make a ton

more videos on getting the most out of

this model, so keep it locked in and

tuned. A lot more to come. I hope you

learned a bunch. Let me know in the

replies how you're using this model and

what and what your experiences have

been. and I'll see you in the next

video.
