after weighing multiple factors including user experience, competitive advantage, and the option to pursue the chain of thought monitoring, we have decided not to show the raw chains of thought to users.

No direct indication of what “maximum test time” means, but if I’m reading the obscured language properly, the best scores on standardized tests were generated across a thousand samples with supplemental help provided.

Obviously, I hope everyone takes what any company says about the capabilities of its own software with a huge grain of salt. But it seems particularly called for here.

The model performance is driven by chain of thought, but they will not be providing chain of thought responses to the user for various reasons including competitive advantage. After the release of GPT4 it became very common to fine-tune non-OpenAI models on GPT4 output. I’d say OpenAI is rightly concerned that fine-tuning on chain of thought responses from this model would allow for quicker reproduction of their resu…

Can you explain what you mean by this?

Honestly, it doesn't matter for the end user if there are more tokens generated between the AI reply and human message. This is like getting rid of AI wrappers for specific tasks. If the jump in accuracy is actual, then for all practical purposes, we have a sufficiently capable AI which has the potential to boost productivity at the largest scale in human history.

yeah this is kinda cool i guess but 808 elo is still pretty bad for a model that can supposedly code like a human, i mean 11th percentile is like barely scraping by, and what even is the point of simulating codeforces if youre just gonna make a model that can barely compete with a decent amateur, and btw what kind of contest allows 10 submissions, thats not how codeforces works, and what about the time limits and memory limits and all that jazz, did they even simulate those, and btw how did they even get the elo ratings, is it just some arbitrary number they pulled out of their butt, and what about the model that got 1807 elo, is that even a real model or just some cherry picked result, and btw what does it even mean to "perform better than 93% of competitors" when the competition is a bunch of humans who are all over the place in terms of skill, like what even is the baseline for comparison

edit: i got confused with the Codeforce. it is indeed zero shot and O1 is potentially something very new I hope Anthropic and others will follow suit

any type of reasoning capability i'll take it !
