Yes, the prompt is slim by design. I might be wrong, but the point was to see what the model can do "on it's own". The eval prompt is quite extensive: https://github.com/guilamu/llms-wordpress-plugin-benchmark/b...
That’s the thing, not everyone wants and values the model based on that. But I guess it works for you, and that benchmark achieves it. I personally develop with very detailed spec, and I don’t want nothing more and nothing less compared to the spec. I found 5.4/5.5 much better at following spec while Opus makes some things up, which aligns with your benchmark but that makes 5.4/5.5 better for me while worse for you.
Yeah as I said this a benchmark for my usecase only, a single use case, which is obvisouly not representative of everybody's needs.
What strike me as very strange though is that 0 model were able to just use the search input already present in GravitYForms forms list page and all created a second input.
Also, I know it's not in the prompt, but adding a ctrl+f shortcut to a search input? Is that that crazy? I don't know.

I don't know why this keeps coming up. This has always been the least reliable way to know the cutoff date (and indeed, it may well have been trained on sites with comments like these!) Just ask it about an event that happened shortly before Dec 1, 2025. Sporting event, preferably.

#114In the only one that feels that OpenAI has bots/commenters on payroll on all this kind of news downplaying Claude and stating how much better Codex is?
There is too much and there are too many, and some of their takes don’t fly if you use Claude daily.

That’s actually crazy, what kind of task is that? And is that a recurring kind of task like some analysis, or coding related?
Coding (along with docs, tests obviously), rewriting a huge chunk of the KVM hypervisor (in Kernel 7, started in the -rc2) and KSM and other modules, can't say too much about it yet (might do an announcement in coming weeks) . The coding is automated but the plan took days of manual arguing (with all models possible) prior (while doing other things during waiting times as I currently manage 70 repos for an upcoming r…
Please do a post about this (though I realize that takes time). This sounds amazing. I have always dreamed of doing this too but just don't have the budget.

The doctor would be responsible for the accuracy of their translation tool, something they can't verify but you expect them to use?
"what you see is all there is." it's generally much easier to verify something you've been made aware of than it is to know of it in the first place (and still verify it.)
The irony is that licensed interpreters / translators usually perform worse than AI.
Only the liability shifts from OpenAI to them.
Furthermore, where the alternative to a licensed professional was nothing, or a random untrained person or a weak professional, then it's harming the user on the pretext of protecting him.
(like in the other mentioned contexts).

> a lot of doctors are using ChatGPT both to search diagnosis and communicate with non-English speaking patients I think that's the problem. Who's going to claim responsibility when ChatGPT hallucinates or mistranslates a patient's diagnosis and they die? For OpenAI, this would at best be a PR nightmare, so that's why they have safeguards.
Adults bear responsibility for choices about their own lives. In fact, the more educated they are, the better choices they can make. A doctor who gets refused by ChatGPT doesn't stop needing to communicate with the patient; they fall back to a worse option (Google Translate, a family member interpreting, guessing). Refusal isn't safety, it's liability-shifting dressed up as safety. If there's no doctor, no interprete…

I’m vague on a specific reason for this feeling because there are a few to choose from and no one overpowers the other, but the emotion that comes to mind when I read this is disgust. As a society I feel we will look back on the subsidized opulence of this moment with total and utter contempt.
