"Interestingly, the base pre-trained model is highly calibrated (its predicted confidence in an answer generally matches the probability of being correct)."

Is that the same confidence measure you can tease out by prompting "to each of your statements output your estimated confidence in it's truthfulness" ?

I think it's interesting that they've benchmarked it against an array of standardized tests. Seems like LLMs would be particularly well suited to this kind of test by virtue of it being simple prompt:response, but I have to say...those results are terrifying. Especially when considering the rate of improvement. bottom 10% to top 10% of LSAT in What are the implications for society when general thinking, reading, and…

It's a bit weird that it still doesn't get 3 digit multiplications correct, but the last digit seems right.

What is more bizarre is that all of it's errors seem to be multiples of 60!

I'm wondering if it is confusing 60 based time (hour second) computations for regular multiplication?

Example:

   xGPT 987    456    321
   437 428919 199512 140397
   654 645258 298224 209994
   123 121401  56088  39483
   
   x    987    456    321
   437 431319 199272 140277
   654 645498 298224 209934
   123 121401  56088  39483

Test taking will change. In the future I could see the student engaging in a conversation with an AI and the AI producing an evaluation. This conversation may be focused on a single subject, or more likely range over many fields and ideas. And may stretch out over months. Eventually teaching and scoring could also be integrated as the AI becomes a life-long tutor. Even in a future where human testing/learning is no l…

Immediately I'm very much looking forward to a day where language learning is like this. No Duolingo gamification nonsense... I want something that remembers what words I know, what words I kinda know and what I should know next and has an ongoing conversation with me.

I think this will totally change the way we educate and test. As someone for whom the education system really didn't serve well, I am very excited.

A class of problem that GPT-4 appears to still really struggle with is variants of common puzzles. For example: >Suppose I have a cabbage, a goat and a lion, and I need to get them across a river. I have a boat that can only carry myself and a single other item. I am not allowed to leave the cabbage and lion alone together, and I am not allowed to leave the lion and goat alone together. How can I safely get all three…

I also tested logic puzzles tweaked to avoid memorization. GPT3 did poorly, GPT4 got a few of them. I expect humans will still be useful until GPT6 solves all these problems.

From the paper: > Given both the competitive landscape and the safety implications of large-scale models like GPT-4, this report contains no further details about the architecture (including model size), hardware, training compute, dataset construction, training method, or similar. I'm curious whether they have continued to scale up model size/compute significantly or if they have managed to make significant innovati…

I bet they use CLIP to caption the image and feed the text of the caption into GPT, but that's just a guess.

They almost certainly generate tokens directly from the image. It would be extremely hard to generate short english descriptions which sufficiently describe the images to pass some of those benchmarks.

Without ability to make high stakes tasks, it proves scoring high marks in general test can only get you so far.

Folks who made this happen: https://openai.com/contributions/gpt-4

Also known as the list of people to consider bribing if you want even the tiniest piece of information on how GPT4 was trained, seeing as even the amount of parameters is "top secret" now.

I will not be surprised if by the time GPT-5 releases, the paper and project will be completely anonymized.

It's available on ChatGPT Plus right now. Holy cow, it's good.

What’s the best rumor on model size? That number can’t be easy to keep secret
