A YouTube creator (Matt Wolfe) showed it being used for cloning a repository and installing dependencies, on the reasoning that setup work does not need a strong model. Another (Matthew Berman) described it as an OpenAI model whose price had been cut by about 80% a few weeks earlier. Neither claim is confirmed by official pages in the supplied text.
