Does anything currently beat GPT-4?

I saw some comments here say to check out Claude. From what I can tell, Claude hasn't figure out yet how to do the whole "generate Python code and run it in a Juptyer notebook" for math yet.

How do they know GPT-4 received no specialized financial training?

Meaning, they used the same generalized foundation model that all of us have access to, with no special fine-tuning, no retrieval-augmented generation, etc.

Isn't that something you get from the infrastructure surrounding the llm? I thought the "running code" feature didn't need specific support from the llm, besides being able to output conforming json or code when asked to.

I don't understand your point. To me GPT-4 is not a foundation model, it's been highly tuned for the chat task. Nobody outside of OpenAI knows what that fine-tuning really involved. So it's impossible to say how much finance specific data it was trained on (in pre-training or fine-tuning) or whether finance specific tasks were involved in fine-tuning.

A programming task where Mistral-large beats both GPT-4 and Claude Opus: https://sdk.vercel.ai/s/Thi7RDx9e8VOZo1Ee6We5 (only Mistral got the current syntax)

Although based on other tasks, overall, GPT-4 seems to be the best, but by a very small margin, so I cancelled my subscription. Although the native mobile app is really great.
