Does anyone have an idea if this is powered by GPT-3/3.5/4 under the hood?

No it says it’s not and that it’s not an LLM

Where does it say this? In published info or (possibly hallucinated) chatbot interaction?

Because InflectionAI definitely bills LLMs as what they are building, and has a waitlist for a Conversational API based on that work, so it would be odd for their public demo to be unrelated tech.

it would be interesting to have more information about the LLM that Inflection is using, for example number of parameters.

It claims it isn’t an LLM

When I ask it point blank, it dodges:

> Are you using a Large Language Model?

> I can’t tell you about the exact details of my underlying technology, but I can assure you that my developers have considered the latest research on language models.

But InflectionAI’s about page [0] says “We are excited to introduce our Conversational API, designed to provide developers and businesses with access to our state-of-the-art large language models.” And uses branding clearly intended to connect that API to the pi demo, and gives no indication of some radical different chatbot technology used in their Pi demo.

So, I think its almost certainly an LLM.
