It may have gotten pushed out of people's context window by subsequent OpenAI related events, but before Altman's unplanned sabbatical, they paused ChatGPT signups, citing capacity concerns:

Whatcha mean? They closed signups to ChatGPT+ due to demand just when I was about to sign up and give it a go.

"Our mission at Inflection is to create a personal AI for everyone." "By messaging Pi, you are agreeing to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy." Yeah, no. Any AI that operates in your cloud where I have to agree to your Terms of Service and Privacy Policy is not "personal AI," no matter how much you want me to believe otherwise. Modern LLMs can do inferencing on my own personal computer. Some of them can even do…

First reaction: okay, should we be impressed? June: flashy ML-perf demo with CoreWeave using 22k H100s November: actually trained model using 5k H100s June: we claim Inflection-1 is the best model in its compute class and are preparing a frontier model November: we beat PaLM 2, which everyone else forgot about long ago anyway Inflection got a ton of hype with its $1.3B raise (likely not cash but principally GPU compu…

Regular reminder that most open source LLM benchmarks are not very useful (in the sense that they don't represent day to day ai chatbot usage and what users care about). If you haven't looked through the datasets to see what they actually contain, I'd encourage you to do so. [1] I think we're just in a strange suboptimal schelling point of sorts, where people report their scores on those benchmarks because they think…

Just got done chatting with Pi for the first time.

I asked some very softball questions about it's "creators" aka Inflection AI and it would not provide any information. It told me it was prevented from discussing sensitive company information. I then used Google/Wikipedia to learn the information I requested, and pasted the results into Pi, after which Pi made limited comments on the founders.

I then moved into questioning why this was blocked and why these blocks were not publicly disclosed given that Inflection AI is a "public benefit corporation".

I didn't learn much, and generally speaking Pi "agreed" with me but still I could not get it to budge.

I understand a block on "sensitive" information, but these "hard coded" limits should be publicly disclosed (correct me if I'm wrong) otherwise I won't trust the tool.
