I am looking forward to faster GPT-4, larger context windows and finetuning APIs. The combination of these can solve most of problems that I currently face with my LLM apps. It looks like a good roadmap for 2023.

When you stop listening to what Sam Altman says and just focus on what he does, you can see the guy is a bit of a snake. Greedy power-hungry man imho.
I’ve tried very hard to like him because like it or not, ChatGPT has revolutionized the AI industry but he’s so hypocritical I just can’t stand him.
Pretty common for dislikeable people to be the most successful at an endeavor. It's not a coincidence.

#213> Cheaper and faster GPT-4 — This is their top priority. In general, OpenAI’s aim is to drive “the cost of intelligence” down as far as possible and so they will work hard to continue to reduce the cost of the APIs over time. this certainly aligns with the massive (albeit subjective and anecdotal) degradation in quality i've experienced with ChatGPT GPT-4 over the past few weeks. hopefully a superior (higher quality)…
Has anyone compared the ChatGPT GPT-4 performance in the plus subscription to that of the API? Has the API performance deteriorated just as much? It would be strange if it did as I'd assume the models costs are priced in there.

Should "intelligence" have ever costed anything? It's like saying "air should cost money".
This just in: smart people should work for free.

#216Title needs an update as Sama is also the name of the company which helped classify training data for ChatGPT: https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/
I agree. Not using the actual name is also gate keeping for anyone not familiar enough. The fact that “sama” isn’t even capitalised adds to this.
Never mind the fact that it’s against HN guidelines to modify original titles for no reason. Changing Sam Altman to sama is just ridiculous.

#217The bit about plugins not having PMF is interesting and possibly flawed. I, like many others, got access to plugins but not the browsing or code interpreter plugins which feel like the bedrock plugins that make the whole offering useful. I think there's also just education that has to happen to teach users how to effectively use other plugins, and the UX isn't really there to help new users figure out what to even do…
Have you found plugins to be useful? For what it's worth I've found the model actually performs significantly worse at most tasks when given access to browsing, in part because it relies on that instead of its own in built knowledge. I haven't found a good way to have it only access the web for specific parts of its response.
The only plugin I found useful was the diagramming one, forgot what it's called. But you can quickly make code (or other) flowcharts etc. And browsing in rare cases.

The problem with Claude is that it is quite literally impossible to get off the waiting list to use it. To OpenAI’s credit they actually ship the product in an accessible way to developers.
Poe.com. Takes 1 minute to sign up and then you can use it for 7 days for free. Pretty sweet deal. Not affiliated.
Imo the least interesting use of LLMs is stuff like Chatbots. API access is a prerequisite to do 99% of the interesting things that they can do.

#219Really great news to give at cheaper and faster GPT4. As a GPT+ subscriber, the most annoying thing is the 25 message limit every 3 hours, I really want that removed. A bit sad to hear that the multimodal model will only come next year, was hoping to get it this year 100k to 1 Million context length, sounds phenomenal especially if it comes to GPT4. I've used Claudes 100k context length and I found it so useful that…
Did you have any tips on how you got access to Claude? I do the request access but never get any email or any contact.
Claude has a free slack client that I briefly was able to access by creating a new slack workspace and adding it there. But as of yesterday it wasn't working for me

I just checked out poe.com. Seems you can only buy a subscription if you own Apple hardware (first time I've ever heard that).
It's $20 a month and comes with 300 GPT-4 messages and 1000 Claude 1.2 messages.
By comparison, ChatGPT Plus gives gives you up to 6000 GPT-4 messages a month for the same price (admittedly it would be hard to use that many as they are given in 3 hour blocks).
