GPT-4 as served in the API has been getting 85% on HumanEval (compared to 69.5% claimed here) https://twitter.com/amanrsanger/status/1635751764577361921 https://github.com/getcursor/eval
Right, but there's no contamination studies there. I suspect that RLHF data leaked HumanEval into GPT-4. It just seems unlikely to me that GPT-4's coding abilities have improved since March (when 67% was officially reported by OpenAI) given all of the examples and anecdotes about degradation. This is why we use the official numbers.
How many examples and anecdotes about degradation are actually scientific side-by-side studies? I see absurd articles online about ChatGPT usage going down the drain by kids, completely failing to consider even the most basic fact of seasonality and how school is out for the summer!
