ChatGPT vs. open source on harder tasks

Re: ChatGPT vs. open source on harder tasks
#42Open source will be behind always since it is harder to organize a large group of people and once it publishes it will be copied by big players, however if an organization like the original OpenAI gets formed that is truly non-for-profit and support the community, I believe it can beat big players. I think only Meta is the company that can support such an organization at the moment.

Please elaborate. So far it seems promising to me, but I started using it just recently.

What? These notebooks and posts by the authors are extremely helpful regardless of what toolchain you're using. It's also the case that a significant minority of HN has unfavorable views towards LangChain for being complicated and poorly documented software.
Sorry but this give bad name to what "pure research" should act like (it's smells like marketing from miles).
There are so much red flags (also here in the comments & the "surprised conclusions") - open your eyes and be more critical thinker.

I agree, I only use 4 because by far the thing that matters most for my usage is the quality of the output at this stage in the game. But 3.5 is generally available, fast, and costs a WHOLE LOT less for API users; those are real capabilities that matter though by "capable" you only meant the quality of the output. It's worth comparing to 3.5 also.
At first I was skeptical of the difference between 3.5 and 4 but there really is a large gap in the models understanding of complex issues between them. I make a habit of always selecting gpt4 but forgot to yesterday. Within 3 responses I could immediately tell I was interacting with a less capable model.

#48I'm employed by Microsoft, but not in any relation to the authors of this tool or this post. First time I saw github.com/mirosoft/guidance was on the HN front page, actually :) I've been waiting for a tool exactly like guidance, something that lets me compose prompts the way I think about prompts. Langchain was too much of a headache for me. Playing with guidance, it feels like this is how programmatically interactin…

I wonder why Meta keeps publishing their models for free. They don't seem to be doing much with their own research. What's the benefit for them then?
