Hey Roblox, this is a formal request for the functionality of the Roblox Studio assistant to be changed. Currently, it appears as if Studio is using a fine-tuned version of ChatGPT-3.5-turbo; however, this is not trained on Roblox Studio’s documentation-- the new version of OpenAI’s reasoning models, o3-mini, is. Plus, it costs less.
I’ve been simulating Roblox Studio in Cursor using o3-mini as a base and it’s fully been able to identify each section of the Studio console and build accordingly.
With the non-fine-tuned version being cheaper than the alternative that Studio claims to be, it seems logical to employ the use of o3-mini into Studio for Premium users with rate limits. I’m sure there’s a complicated reasoning behind the decision, but newer models are able to function in the Roblox Studio environment. Having this be a feature available to Premium users gives additional use case for Roblox developers to purchase premium to “develop better”. With Cursor, I pay $200/yr to be able to amplify my code solutions to that level and I think it would be a well appreciated value add to the service.
Personally I don’t think incorporating paid features into Studio is a good idea (aside from paid plugins; which are not base-studio nor official).
I believe it would send Studio in the wrong direction, one that doesn’t align with its entire purpose of being an easy-to-use and all-accessible software for developers of any experience or background.
I also don’t think Premium should be used even if this idea was reality; while currently premium does not have many use-cases aside from granting the ability to upload UGC accessories, the majority of premium users aren’t developers but regular users, I feel this would be better off as a separate system, one that targets developers in specific, this would allow Roblox more pricing flexibility with such developer-specific features, as opposed to having to adjust Premium prices, which as stated is not really targeted at developers (or at least not as it currently stands.)
This is just my opinion but I am inclined to believe many would share a similar one, I am looking forward to what others think.
What incentive does Roblox have to improve the Studio experience? A majority of developers already pay for similar tools so having it be a value add to an existing service would be optimal. Most users not using this feature would be precisely where the monetary bonus comes from. If 5% of Premium users used the Premium feature with a variable cost, Roblox avoids the profit loss that would come from high usage
