I noticed that they just released version 4.1 on the ChatGPT website, but I thought they mentioned that they wouldn't do a separate release since they were planning to upgrade 4o to the same version. Now I'm a bit confused about what the actual differences are between the two versions and when I should use each one.

Totally, I thought the same thing too. It’s a bit confusing that they’re rolling out versions like this.
In short, 4.1 is considered to be an upgrade over 4o.
Yeah, I’ve read that 4.1 is better at following instructions, so it might be more effective for certain tasks. You can check out their release page for detailed info.
From what I've gathered, 4o was supposed to incorporate most of the updates from 4.1 initially, but it seems like there was enough feedback for them to decide on a distinct version release.
That phrasing really raises questions! Are they just fine-tuning one model based on another? It feels off because you’d expect a new model to come with more substantial changes.
