"GPT-3.5 is already beaten by Mixtral and Mistral-Medium" Not really relevant when they will be using GPT-4, is it? Plus the powerful features from code interpreter is a night and day difference Not everything is worth saving a bit of money to get worse performance from something that has a worse network effect

The article says GPT-3.5 though.

Bold of you to think I read the article

My brain stopped in surprise after parsing the first half of that headline. "Oslo acquires ChatGPT.."?!

I, for one, welcome our new Norwegian overlords. btw it's called a garden-path sentence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence

could also just call it click-bait

Since many commenters are wondering, yes it is GPT-3.5 access through Azure if I am correct. University of Oslo has already done this for their staff and students. They have built a UI https://www.uio.no/english/services/it/ai/gpt-uio/index.html . They call it privacy-focused ChatGPT, but it is poor quality UI and doesn't have access to GPT-4. It is possible to buy access to GPT-4 but that will be expensive.

Doesn't it say "Free access to GPT-4"

My FEIDE expires so I cannot try anymore :)

Sounds like the United States of America.

Is it?

A mix and match of the US immediately after the constitution was signed and the US during the Articles of Confederation is the best way to think about it

I find it disgusting that EU governments are giving even a singular cent to Micro$oft, and I don't even mean for this, I mean in general. The data harvesting psychopathic megacorporation that should've been nuked from orbit 2 decades ago is now growing more and more influential, and there's nothing your average EU citizen can do about it since politicians are all spineless cowards easily bought by M$'s vast coffers.

Time is saved, brain cells don’t need to ;)

It's intellectually dishonest to assume that AI decreases intelligence.

First of all, which «AI»?! AI is either a system that can replace some professional (historical sense) or a system that implements intelligence ("AGI").

Specifically, masses relying on unintelligent responses are exposed to unintelligence (e.g. a number of people may absorb the il-logic), so as an aggregate there are risks.

That was long ago. Europe's latest great war was like 80 years ago, the standardisation and free movement through EU and Schengen are even fresher. The language barriers aren't even lifted yet, though the young seems to be quite good with adopting English as lingua franca. Yet, most of the Europeans can't talk to each other because the older generations in general will speak the language of their neighbour only and that will be around the border regions. Some smaller countries are better though.

"European" as an identity is a rough diamond still.

Good point, but when I sign in I only see GPT-3. My understanding is UiO students and employees have free access to GPT-4 while the other institutions had to buy that as an extra service.

Maybe that’s because in both comparisons you’ve mentioned cities not in the EU

I mentioned them due to their geographic positional extremes. Replace Istanbul with Athens, London with Amsterdam and Oslo with Stockholm ıf you want to include EU only cities and its the same thing, just slightly narrower geography. EU is a subset of Europe but its very wide subset, which includes most of the extremes.

You can get geographic extremes just with Norway.

Oslo to Kirkenes (which is further east than Istanbul).
