I had the opposite experience. I was trying to figure out what this weird lightbulb was that I had to replace, and it had no writing on it. I uploaded the description and picture to gpt4, and it just got it clearly wrong over and over. Tried bard, got it right in the first try, with links to the product. I was extremely impressed.

The vast knowledge trove of Google can't be understated, even if sometimes the model isn't as competent at certain tasks as OpenAI's GPT models.

If there's one thing that's becoming clear in the open source LLM world, it's that the dataset really is the 'secret sauce' for LLMs. There are endless combinations of various datasets plus foundation model plus training approach, and by far the key determinant of end model performance seems to be the dataset used.

This is almost certainly just delegating to Google Lens, which indeed works great. Bard's probably just a middle man here.

I would think that ChatGPT is also delegating to some other subsystem.

Unless wired to Bing, probably not?

with a poorer dataset than google

Fortunately for OpenAI, they have no SLAs: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5008641-is-there-an-sla-...

I say this as a huge fan of GPT, but it's amazing to me how terrible of a company OpenAI is and how quickly we've all latched onto their absolutely terrible platform. I had a bug that wouldn't let me login to my work OpenAI account at my new job 9 months ago. It took them 6 months to respond to my support request and they gave me a generic copy/paste answer that had nothing to do with my problem. We spend tons and to…

Let's not forget the most basic problem with OpenAI: It isn't open.

I've personally never scaled a B2B&C company from 0 to over 1 billion users in less than a year, but I do feel like it's probably pretty hard. Especially setting up something like a good support organization in a time of massive labor shortages seems like it would be pretty tough. I know they have money, but money isn't a magic wand for creating people. They could've also kept it a limited beta for much longer, but t…

The remarkable part isn't that OpenAI sucks - it's that people use it anyway.

Is dall-e down as well? I don't use it through chatgpt.

DALL-E 3 isn't available via API or labs. If you don't use ChatGPT you get the (significantly lower quality) DALL-E 2 at the moment. That's supposed to change by the end of fall. One of the most frustrating things with "Open"AI is you can't just use what they announce as available, you have to wait for an A/B rollout (as a paying customer!) or for it to be accessible in direct way instead of going through multiple mo…

I think you can use DALL-E 3 simply by using Bing AI image creator.

I am curious how people are using Phind. I actually had a discussion with Phind itself recently, in which I said that in order to help me, it seems like it would need to ingest my codebase so that it understands what I am talking about. Without knowing my various models, etc, I don't see how it could write anything but the most trivial functions. It responded that, yes, it would need to ingest my codebase, but it cou…

Founder here. We have a VS Code extension that automatically fetches context from your codebase.

Thanks for releasing Phind-CodeLLaMA-34B-v2, it's been helping me get up to speed with node and web apps and so far it's been spot on. :) Super impressive work.
