Having been recently taken aboard by the mothership I expect they'll start trying to tune out anything related to programming to push people towards co-pilot X.. It's pretty hilarious and annoying to see bing start to write code only to self censor itself after a few lines (deleting what was there! no wonder these guys love websockets and dynamic histories) Whoops!

Wait… what? Can you elaborate.

He’s speculating that Microsoft is nerfing OpenAI / chatGPT to funnel narrow capabilities to silos like CoPilot.

> is limited by GPU availability. Which is all the more curious, considering OpenAI said this only in January: > Azure will remain the exclusive cloud provider for all OpenAI workloads across our research, API and products [1] So... OpenAI is severely GPU constrained, it is hampering their ability to execute, onboard customers to existing products and launch products. Yet they signed an agreement not to just go rent…

Even if they weren’t exclusive with Azure, aren’t GPU prices reasonable again?

They have to be a available to buy, regardless the price. My understanding is there is a distinct lack of supply

> He reiterated his belief in the importance of open source and said that OpenAI was considering open-sourcing GPT-3. Part of the reason they hadn’t open-sourced yet was that he was skeptical of how many individuals and companies would have the capability to host and serve large LLMs. Am I reading this right? "We're not open sourcing GPT-3 because we don't think it would be useful to anyone else"

I agree, this is so bizarre

yes i also can't wrap my head around how a ceo of a billion dollar company isn't sincere in his public statements

If they open up fine-tuning API for their latest models, I wonder how the enthusiasm around the open source model is impacted. One of the advantages of the open source models is the ability to be fine-tuned. Are other benefits enough to keep the momentum going?

The 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…

Yea, seems weird to allow people to use plugins, but not all of them. Then have the gall to say that no one is using plugins, yea because half of them don't have any context outside of America.

I tried the plugins - they honestly didn't seem to work very well. GPT-4 wasn't sure when it could use a plugin, or when it should talk about how it would do something. I wasn't able to get the plugins to activate most of the time.

Most of the plugins are garbage and for those that aren't, most seem like they would be better as a chat like experience in the original app than the OpenAI app

I love the tongue-in-cheek paradox myth that the Bitcoin whitepaper was written by a future god-AI to increase demand for GPUs (and thus boost supply) so we are able to assemble the future god-AI.

I know it's a joke, but the hole is the god-AI couldn't have been that smart, since cryptocurrency-mining quickly switched to ASICs, which muting the demand increase for GPUs.

Really 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 when I have large documents I just default to Claude now

His statements on open sourcing in this interview/write-up is somewhat in conflict with his recent statement made last week in Munich https://youtu.be/uaQZIK9gvNo?t=1170 , where he explicitly said the Frontier of GPT won't be open sourced due to what they perceive as safety reasons, https://youtu.be/uaQZIK9gvNo?t=1170 (19:30 - 22:00).

it's legal to make contradictory statements that's one of the job of a ceo and it's why they aren't usually overly literal types you know the kind i'm talking about

I never know if I have an inside scoop or an outside scoop. Has Hyena not addressed the scaling of context length [1]? I know this version is barely a month old but it was shared to me by a non-engineer the week it came out. Still, giving interviews where the person takes away that the main limitation is context length and requires a big breakthrough that already happened makes me seriously question whether or not he…
