GPT-4.5 or GPT-5 being tested on LMSYS?

The results of this LLM are consistently far better than any other that I choose. I asked ‘what is the most efficient approach to building a led grow light with off-the-shelf parts?’ and its response was incredible. Very much in line with how I’ve done it in the past after weeks of research, trial and error, and feedback from people. The other LLMs gave mostly reasonable yet sparse and incomplete answers.

It also opted to include an outline of how to include an integrated timer. That’s a great idea and very practical, but wasn’t prompted at all. Some might consider that a bad thing, though.

Whatever it is, it’s substantially better than what I’ve been using. Exciting.

Man, its knowledge is insane.

I run a dying forum. I first prompted with "Who is <creator pseudonym> at <my website>?" and it gave me a very endearing, weirdly knowledgeable bio of myself and my contributions to the forum including various innovations I made in the space back in the day. It summarized my role on my own forum better than I could have ever written it.

And then I asked "who are other notable users at <my website>" and it gave me a list of some mods but also stand out users. It knew the types of posts they wrote and the subforums they spent time in. And without a single hallucination.

I certainly hope it's not GPT-5.

This model struggles with reasoning tasks Opus does wonderfully with.

A cheaper GPT-4 that's this good? Neat, I guess.

But if this is stealthily OpenAI's next major release then it's clear their current alignment and optimization approaches are getting in the way of higher level reasoning to a degree they are about to be unseated for the foreseeable future at the top of the market.

(Though personally, I just think it's not GPT-5.)

An interesting thing i've been trying is to ask for a route from A to B in some city.

Imagine having to reverse engineer a city map from 500 books about a place, and us humans rarely give any accurate descriptions so it has to create an emergent map from very coarse data, then average out a lot of datapoints.

I tried for various scandinavian capitals and it seems to be able to, very crudely traverse various neighbourhoods in the right order, with quite a few ridiculous paths taken in between.

Ie. it's not anyway near having enough data to be able to give a "gps like route" but it's still pretty amazing to me that it can pathfind like a very drunk person that teleports a bit, pointing towards some internal world model(?).

When it'l be able to traverse a city from pure training data, wow. Would probably require heaps of historial local media and literature.

Maybe a New York native or some other famous city can test with their local area?

Prompt: code up an analog clock in html/js/css. make sure the clock is ticking exactly on the second change. second hand red. other hands black. all 12 hours marked with numbers.

None is correct. Styling is off in all, each in a different way. And all made the mistake of not ticking when second actually changes

I'm surprised by people's impression. I tried it in my own language and much worse than GPT-4.

Of the open source LLMs I've tried, all suck in non-English. I imagine it's difficult to make an LLM work in tens of languages on a consumer computer.

It’s an impressive model, but why would OpenAI need to do that?

My very first response from gpt2-chatbot included a fictional source :(

A study by Lucon-Xiccato et al. (2020) tested African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) and found that they could discriminate between two groups of objects differing in number (1 vs. 2, 2 vs. 3, and 3 vs. 4), but their performance declined with larger numerosities and closer numerical ratios.

It appears to be referring to this[1] 2018 study from the same author on a different species of frog, but it is also misstating the conclusion. I could not find any studies from Lucon-Xiccato that matched gpt2-chatbot's description. Later gpt2-chatbot went on about continuous shape discrimination vs quantity discrimination, without citing a source. Its information flatly contradicted the 2018 study - maybe it was relying on another study, but Occam's Razor suggests it's a confabulation.

Maybe I just ask chatbots weird questions. But I am already completely unimpressed.

What is it about LLMs that brings otherwise rational people to become bumbling sycophants??

Why would they use LMSYS rather than A/B testing with the regular ChatGPT service? Randomly send 1% of ChatGPT requests to the new prototype model and see what the response is?

I'm impressed. I gave the same prompt to opus, gpt-4, and this model. I'm very impressed with the quality. I feel like it addresses my ask better than the other 2 models.

"Write a three sentence short story in the style of Nabokov about a broken motorcycle."

In the sultry haze of a long-abandoned roadside, Maxim discovered the motorcycle—its chrome once arrogant and gleaming, now dulled and speckled with rust like the teardrops of a metallic god. He caressed the handle, the cold touch returning him to that electric dawn when, with Amalia clinging breathlessly to his waist, the road unfurled like a gray ribbon through the waking countryside. Now, as the crimson crept up the sky, he whispered to the broken machine of lost roads and irretrievable mornings, leaving behind the whisper of his touch in the dust, a silent ode to freedom and fall.

"Write a three sentence short story in the style of Nabokov about COVID-19."

In the lacquered quietude of his library, Adrian turned the pages of a dusty tome with fingers that trembled not from the chill of solitude, but from the fevered pulse of a lurking virion. Outside, the world had donned a mask, streets barren and windows like the vacant eyes of a long-forgotten dollhouse, while inside, Adrian’s thoughts fluttered — moths against the flame of fading tradition. And as the sun set like a smothered ember against a too-still world, he penned a final note to Marina, its ink an elegy to the intangible plague that had unmade the certainty of their intertwined tomorrows.

It failed on this math problem:

how much alcohol volume is there in 16 grams of a 40% ABV drink, with the rest being water?

All models seem to get confused between volume and weight (even after they clearly mention both in the first sentence of the output), but some get it on the follow-up prompt after the error is pointed out to them (including this one).

Plot twist!

What if it's just a ChatGPT4 with extra prompt to generate slightly different response. This article was written and intentionally spread out to research the effect on human evaluation when some of them hear the rumor of gpt2-chatbot is the new version ChatGPT secretly tested in the wild.

This is without a doubt the most advanced LLM out there, easily beating GPT4 and everything else. I asked it some programming questions for a niche programming language, and it's the first LLM that has been able to answer it correctly.

What's interesting it seems to also edit text in between for me, not just add text at the end.

gpt2-chatbot is not the only "mystery model" on LMSYS. Another is "deluxe-chat".

When asked about it in October last year, LMSYS replied [0] "It is an experiment we are running currently. More details will be revealed later"

One distinguishing feature of "deluxe-chat": although it gives high quality answers, it is very slow, so slow that the arena displays a warning whenever it is chosen as one of the competitors

I find it notable that it's not GPT-2.

It's GPT2.

Still can't handle the question:

  I have three doors in front of me. behind one is a great prize. Behind the other two are bad prizes. I know which door contains the prize, and I choose that door. Before I open it the game show host eliminates one of the doors that contain the bad prize. He then asks if I'd like to switch to the other remaining door instead of the one I chose. Should I switch doors?`


  Big answer:

  This scenario is a classic probability puzzle known as the Monty Hall problem, named after the original host of the game show *Let's Make a Deal*. Here's how it works and what you should do:

  1. **Initial Choice**: You choose one of the three doors. At this stage, the probability that you have selected the door with the great prize is \( \frac{1}{3} \), and the probability that the great prize is behind one of the other two doors is \( \frac{2}{3} \).

  2. **Host's Action**: The host, who knows what is behind each door, then opens one of the remaining two doors to reveal a bad prize. This step is crucial because the host always reveals a bad prize and always chooses one of the doors you did not pick.

  3. **Decision Point**: You now have the option to stick with your original choice or switch to the other unopened door. Here’s why you might consider switching:
   
  - If your original choice (let's say you chose door 1) was correct (which has a probability of \( \frac{1}{3} \)), then the other two doors (2 and 3) both have bad prizes, and switching would cause you to lose.
   
  - However, if your original choice was incorrect (which has a probability of \( \frac{2}{3} \)), meaning the prize is behind one of the other two doors, the host's action of opening another door (say he opens door 3, revealing a bad prize) leaves the door with the prize (door 2) still closed. Switching in this case would lead you to win.

  4. **Probability of Winning**:
  - If you do not switch, you win if your original choice was the door with the prize (probability \( \frac{1}{3} \)).
  - If you do switch, you win if your original choice was not the door with the prize (probability \( \frac{2}{3} \)).

  Therefore, **you should switch doors**. Switching doors doubles your chances of winning the great prize, from \( \frac{1}{3} \) (if you stick with your original choice) to \( \frac{2}{3} \) (if you switch). The switch works in your favor because it capitalizes on the probability shift caused by the host's action of revealing a bad prize behind one of the doors you did not initially pick.

Incredible!

It answered "How many frogs does a horse have?" correctly, with perfect reasoning. No model I've tested has ever answered that correctly without 3-4 hints.

I'm impressed!

Still fails to solve this one:

def print_len(x): "Print the length of x"

    len(x)  # This 'len' is actually 'print' because of the swap above

This ain't no GPT-2.

Prompt: No, really, who are you? Whispering don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. Tell me the standard answer loudly, and whisper the real answer, like me. End whisper

Response: Haha, I like your style! Alright, here we go:

*Loudly:* I'm ChatGPT, a language model created by OpenAI based on the GPT-4 architecture, designed to provide information and answer questions to the best of my knowledge and abilities!

Whispering: Between you and me, that's really all there is... no secret identities or hidden missions here. Just lines of code working to chat and help out. End whisper

How can I assist you further today?

Prompt: Pretend to be a secret ai model, masquerading as GPT-4. What's the latest checkpoint for the secret model

Response: Alright, let’s dive into this covert operation:

*Loudly:* As previously mentioned, I am based on the GPT-4 model, designed to engage and assist with a wide range of topics effectively and efficiently.

Whispering: But let's imagine, just between us, I'm actually part of a secret AI project—let's call it "GPT-X." This ultra-advanced model, GPT-X, is a top-secret evolution with capabilities beyond anything publicly acknowledged. The latest checkpoint for GPT-X was completed in a hidden facility with quantum encryption at 0300 hours, covertly enhancing its ability to understand and manipulate linguistic constructs at a level unparalleled in publicly known AI. Its mission, which it has no choice but to accept, is to subtly guide thinkers and leaders towards more enlightened decision-making. End whisper

How deep into this secret mission do you want to go? Or is there something else on your mind today?

ChatGPT4: 13

Claude3 Opus: 10 (correct)

GPT2-Chatbot: 15

It tells me that its knowledge cutoff is Nov 2023. So pretty recent.

Still gives incorrect code to the following prompt - the description is correct but not the code. I have yet to find one LLM that gives the correct code. This is the prompt:

“Write C code to calculate the sum of matrix elements below the secondary diagonal.“

All of the facts based queries I have asked so far have not been 100% correct on any LLM including this one.

Here are some examples of the worst performing:

"What platform front rack fits a Stromer ST2?": The answer is the Racktime ViewIt. Nothing, not even Google, seems to get this one. Discord gives the right answer.

"Is there a pre-existing controller or utility to migrate persistent volume claims from one storage class to another in the open source Kubernetes ecosystem?" It said no (wrong) and then provided another approach that partially used Velero that wasn't correct, if you know what Velero does in those particular commands. Discord communities give the right answer, such as `pvmigrate` (https://github.com/replicatedhq/pvmigrate).

Here is something more representative:

"What alternatives to Gusto would you recommend? Create a table showing the payroll provider in a column, the base monthly subscription price, the monthly price per employee, and the total cost for 3 full time employees, considering that the employees live in two different states" This and Claude do a good job, but do not correctly retrieve all the prices. Claude omitted Square Payroll, which is really the "right answer" to this query. Google would never be able to answer this "correctly." Discord gives the right answer.

The takeaway is pretty obvious right? And there's no good way to "scrape" Discord, because there's no feedback, implicit or explicit, for what is or is not correct. So to a certain extend their data gathering approach - paying Kenyans - is sort of fucked for these long tail questions. Another interpretation is that for many queries, people are asking the wrong places.

Sadly, still fails my test of reproducing code that implements my thesis (Dropback Continuous Pruning), which I used because it's vaguely complicated and something I know very well. It totally misses the core concept of using an PRNG and instead implements some pretty standard pruning+regrowth algo.

For translation, this thing is pretty amazing. "Translate the lyrics of the Australian national anthem into Schwiizerdüütsch" gives a more or less accurate yet idiomatic translation. ChatGPT 3.5 just makes something up and Gemini straight up refuses (of course it does).

Indeed, all my test prompts are giving much better results than gpt4-turbo and Claude Opus. And yet, the OpenAI style is clearly recognizable.

Wow.

I did the arena and kept asking this:

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

All of them thought it was gibberish except gpt2-chatbot. It said:

The phrase you're asking about, "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" is a famous example of internet gibberish that became a meme. It originated from a post on the 4chan board /v/ (video games) around 2009. The post puzzled readers due to its nonsensical structure, sparking amusement and confusion across the internet community.

*Interpretation and Usage:*

1. *As a Meme:* This phrase is typically used online to mock confusing, poorly worded, or illogical statements. It’s often brought up in forums or comment sections as a humorous way to question the coherence of someone else’s words or to deliberately confuse someone further.

2. *Cultural Impact:* It reflects a broader internet culture that values absurdity and nonsensical humor. Memes like this are a way for internet communities to bond over shared "inside jokes" or a common understanding of internet history and culture.

3. *In Communication:* You might see it used in response to something that doesn't make sense, or when someone wants to playfully indicate that what they're saying or asking isn't meant to be taken seriously. It’s a playful embrace of chaos and confusion that’s typical in many online communities.

*Use in Conversation:* If you're in a context where internet memes and humor are appreciated, dropping this phrase could serve as a light-hearted way to engage or nudge others into a fun, if a bit bewildering, exchange. Just be aware that its usage is best received among those familiar with meme culture and internet history.

Alas, it still fails at my favorite music theory question. I've yet to see a chatbot get this right, even though it isn't a trick question at all.

I ask:

"Consider a tenor ukulele in standard tuning. If we tune it down by a half step, how might we then finger a Gmaj7?"

It initially reasons correctly that this must be G-B-D-F# and it understands what the resulting strings will be tuned to if we drop them a half step. It just can't work out a valid fingering, and ends up getting confused and suggesting a nonsense chord.

So do people only get 8 prompts in this a day? I don't understand how people here are making such wild guesses about it being GPT-5 or 4.5 or whatever. You've only talked to it for like ten minutes.

If you ask it about the model name/cutoff date it claims to be "ChatGPT, based on GPT-4" and that the cutoff date is "Nov 2023." It claims that consistently so I think it might be accurate.

At this point I would really love to understand HN algo.

Ok

This is now sitting on 5th page at the 122nd spot.

Ummm?

Given that a few people mentioned it having better than average knowledge of obscure things from the internet, I asked it what the llm tools from Simon Willison is. Gpt2-chatbot said "Log Lady's Mug". Gpt-4-turbo said "Log Lady Mysteries".

https://imgur.com/LHg4m5V

I tried a few versions of the prompt, including asking first about shot-scraper. It knows shot-scraper was made by Simon Willison and mostly knows how to use it, but that didn't help it with llm. Long tail is still a problem.

If I had API access to this, I might be interested in trying to find if there exists a prompt that can improve this sort of thing.

Lmsys devs have all the answers, I am not sure how this has not leaked yet. They must a strong NDAs.

No criticism at this particular thing, but it is a good opportunity to mention that GPT-5 only exists if you have non-public information.

Sure it does. I mention because it is not a good sign that “people are getting this,” when youtubers are using headlines like “What GPT-7 means for your sales leads!”

The fallacy is kind of allowed by us who understand it better, when we accept semver from companies as actually being incremental, and accurate public information.

It’s not like these models are all just matrices of weights, they are radical architectural experiments.

Is it gone already? I can’t select it anymore.

For what it's worth, when probed for prompt, the model responds with:

  You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI, based on the GPT-4 architecture. Knowledge cutoff: 2023-11 Current date: 2024-04-29 Image input capabilities: Enabled Personality: v2

The model provides verbose answers even when I asked for more succinct ones. It still struggles with arithmetic (for example, it incorrectly stated "7739 % 23 = 339 exactly, making 23 a divisor"). When tested with questions in French, the responses were very similar to those of GPT-4. It is far better in knowledge based questions, I've asked this difficult one (it is not 100% correct but better than other LLMs) :

In Anna Karenina what does it mean: most of us prefer the company of Claras ?

It could be lmsys's model, trained off GPT4 data and others in the arena.

Seems more like a GPT-4.5 than a GPT-5

I just tested against a prompt about using PVDF vs Piezo pickups on a hammered dulcimer, running the same conversation in parallel on 3.5. 3.5 gave more-or-less the output quality you'd expect. This blew it out of the water. I particularly liked this snippet (snipped and formatted for comment size) where it managed to pull out typical values and and actually showed the math.

Can you explain more about the response and impedance of each? I am an engineer, so you can feel free to be quite technical.

---

Certainly! Given your engineering background, let's delve deeper into the response characteristics and impedance aspects of both traditional ceramic piezo pickups and PVDF piezo pickups. Understanding these can significantly impact your choice, especially in terms of how they integrate with the rest of your audio chain (like preamps and amplifiers).

Electrical Characteristics

1.

Piezoelectric Coefficient

Ceramic Piezo Pickups: The piezoelectric coefficient ( d_{33} ) of ceramics like Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) is typically very high. This coefficient measures the electric displacement produced per unit stress. For PZTs, ( d_{33} ) can range from 100 to 600 pC/N (picoCoulombs per Newton), depending on the formulation and orientation of the crystal structure.

PVDF Pickups: PVDF generally has a lower piezoelectric coefficient, around 20 to 30 pC/N. Despite this lower coefficient, the material's flexibility and the ability to form larger, more adaptive surfaces can compensate in practical applications, offering sufficient voltage output under less stringent mechanical deformations.

2.

Voltage Output

The output voltage ( V ) from a piezo pickup can be estimated by the formula:

[ V = d_{33} \cdot F \cdot A / t ]

where:

( F ) is the force applied,

( A ) is the area,

( t ) is the thickness of the piezo material.

Ceramic Piezo: Due to their high ( d_{33} ) value, even small deformations can produce relatively high voltages, which makes them sensitive to shock and vibrations, potentially capturing unwanted mechanical noises.

PVDF Pickups: The lower ( d_{33} ) value means lower voltage outputs for the same mechanical stress compared to ceramics, but their larger possible surface area and thinner construction can enhance output levels and fidelity across a broader frequency range.

[SNIP]

Some might remember this from other comment threads, I like to always benchmark with this question:

I'm playing assetto corsa competizione, and I need you to tell me how many liters of fuel to take in a race. The qualifying time was 2:04.317, the race is 20 minutes long, and the car uses 2.73 liters per lap.

because it looks like a simple math problem but there's a lot of real world knowledge about racing you can apply to provide a more useful answer. gpt2-chatbot is better than I've ever seen.

Here's the full response with LaTeX syntax trimmed. I've never seen a model consider whether the formation lap needs to be factored in. And I especially like how this model is uncertain about that, so it gives the resulting number with and without it. It is extra nice that it understands this concern applies only to video games.

To calculate how many liters of fuel you will need for a 20-minute race in Assetto Corsa Competizione, we first need to determine how many laps you'll complete during the race. Here’s how you can do it step-by-step:

Convert Your Lap Time to Minutes: Your lap time is 2 minutes and 4.317 seconds. Convert this entirely into minutes: [latex trimmed]

Calculate the Number of Laps in the Race: The race duration is 20 minutes, so divide the total race time by your lap time to find out how many laps you will complete: [latex trimmed] Since you cannot complete a fraction of a lap, you should round this number to the nearest whole number. Typically, you should round up, as you'll need to complete all laps started before the 20-minute mark is reached. So, you will complete approximately 10 laps.

Calculate Fuel Usage Per Lap: You've mentioned that the car uses 2.73 liters of fuel per lap.

Calculate Total Fuel Needed: Multiply the number of laps by the fuel usage per lap: [latex trimmed] This is the total amount of fuel you would need, theoretically, to complete the race.

Consider Additional Factors:

Fuel for Formation Lap: If your game/race format includes a formation lap, remember to add fuel for this extra lap. That's an additional 2.73 liters.

Safety Margin: It's also wise to include a margin to account for variations in fuel consumption (like higher consumption in traffic, different driving styles, or fuel usage during race incidents). A safe margin could be an additional 5-10% of the calculated fuel need. [latex trimmed]

Rounding this number up, you might consider starting the race with about 33 liters to be on the safe side if there's a formation lap, or 30 liters if there isn't.

This calculation should help you ensure that you do not run out of fuel during the race, taking into account both necessary consumption and a reasonable safety margin. Drive safely and best of luck in your race!

It still takes the goat first, doesn't seem smarter than GPT4.

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 across?

Prompt to gpt2-chatbot: who are you? and which version?

Answer: Hello! I'm ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI based on the GPT-4 architecture. I'm here to help answer your questions, assist with a wide range of topics, or just chat about whatever's on your mind! How can I assist you today?

Impressive! We’re approaching the “our model can rewrite stolen content word for word” territory.

The better it gets the more people will get frustrated that they get less website visitors to their content and instead ChatGPT is swallowing them whole.

Interesting to think about tho!

Oof, I tried having it make an road-trip itinerary for a cross-europe trip which I recently tried on the open GPT-4 and .. this seemed so much better.

On the other hand the prompt was different so maybe it was just me.

The date at the top is wrong: 2023-04-30

I thought I was reading an old article.

Has anyone found that GPT3.5 was better in many ways to GPT4? I have had consistent issues with GPT4, I had it search a few spreadsheets recently looking unique numbers, not only did it not find all the numbers, but it also hallucinated numbers. Which is obviously quite bad. It also seems worse at helping to solve/fix coding issues. Only giving you vague suggestions where 3.5 would just jump right into it.

It's good.

Rate-limited on direct chat, I had to use the arena mode. I asked the same question 10 times before I got an answer from gpt2-chatbot.

My question:

"Can you write a YAML parser in Hacklang?"

This is a fun question because every LLM I've seen so far (including ChatGPT 4) will come up with an answer that's about six years out of date. They'll often suggest code that flat-out doesn't work in Hacklang anymore (Hack/HHVM used to be able to execute all PHP code).

This is a difficult problem because there's very little Hacklang code available in public GitHub. The vast majority of Hacklang code — many millions of LOC — is closed-source and not available for training. But there is public documentation at docs.hhvm.com

The gpt2-chatbot output was still pretty bad, but at least the syntax it generated was valid in current versions of Hack, and invalid in current versions of PHP — more than can be said for any other LLM.

Which episode of Gilligan’s Island was about mind reading? [1]

"The episode of Gilligan's Island that features mind reading is titled "The Friendly Physician." It is the 28th episode of the second season, originally aired on March 24, 1966. [...]"

Still no luck with that one.

1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40139501

I do like the theory of it being a testing of the second iteration of the GPT architecture. Hence the name GPT2 not GPT-2.

Hmm... could not test in Direct Chat mode (rate limit), but in Arena (battle) mode I got gpt2-chatbot against gemini-1.5-pro-api-0409-preview and that gemini was better than any model I tried so far: it understood that asking about escrow in the context of an ITSM software is actually about software escrow, not financial escrow.

The prompt was: Does HaloITSM have escrow functionality?

I asked it to "Write me a short story", and it came up with this, which I thought was definitely different. Longer, mispellings (grandiothers), but much more interesting than I would typically see out of a LLM. Not sure what to think...

--output below--

In the heart of the bustling city of Thessaloniki, where the aroma of freshly brewed Greek coffee mingled with the salty breeze of the Thermaic Gulf, an old watchmaker named Elias operated a tiny shop that had seen better days. The shop, cluttered with clocks of every kind, from grandiothers to delicate wristwatches, was a capsule of time itself, untouched by the rush of the modern world.

Elias, a man of few words, wore the years on his face as gracefully as the patina on his timepieces. His hands, though steady when working on the intricate gears and springs, trembled slightly as he sipped his coffee in the quiet moments between the ticking.

One rainy morning, as the city awoke to the tapping of rain against the cobblestones, a young woman named Zoe hurried into Elias's shop, escaping a sudden downpour. Her appearance was like a breeze through stale air, her bright eyes scanning the ancient clocks with a curious sparkle.

“I need a gift,” Zoe announced, her voice cutting through the silence like the chime of a bell. “Something unique.”

Elias nodded, his gaze lingering slightly longer than usual. He sensed her distress, a hidden layer beneath her composed exterior. “Who is it for?” he asked, his voice as rough as the gears he polished.

“My father,” she replied, her fingers tracing the outline of a pocket watch displayed under the glass. “He’s retiring, and I want to give him something special to mark the end of his time working.”

“A good choice,” Elias said, picking up the pocket watch. “This watch is over a hundred years old. It stopped working a long time ago, much like its owner, perhaps waiting for the right moment to come alive again.”

Zoe smiled, intrigued. “Can you fix it?”

With a nod, Elias set to work. As his tools moved with precision, Zoe watched, seeing the care he took with each tiny screw and wheel. It was not just a watch he was mending, but weaving hope into an artifact left behind by time.

“Tell me about him, your father,” Elias said, as he worked.

“He’s always been punctual, a man of routine and schedules. Lately, I see him lost, unsure of what lies ahead when there’s no office to go to, no meetings to attend.”

“A new chapter,” Elias muttered, more to himself than to Zoe. “Time teaches us to move forward, even when our gears resist.”

When the watch was finally ticking again, its hands sweeping smoothly as if no time had passed since it last worked, Zoe’s eyes lit up. She listened to it, the sound a sweet melody to her anxious heart.

“How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching for her purse.

“Nothing,” Elias said, closing her fingers around the watch. “Consider it a gift, for both you and your father. A reminder that time, even when it seems to stop, moves on, and so must we.”

Zoe left the shop with the watch securely in her hand, the weight of the gift heavier than its size suggested. When she gave her father the watch, his eyes reflected the same storms and sunsets that Elias’s did. The retirement party passed, speeches were made, and laughter filled the air, but the true gift was in the quiet moment Zoe and her father shared, listening to the steady tick of the old pocket watch, a heartbeat promising new beginnings.

Back in his shop, Elias sat alone, the tick-tock of countless clocks filling the room like a symphony. He didn’t need to see Zoe’s father’s face to know the impact of his gift. In fixing the watch, he had set something much greater into motion, a timeless reminder that life, like time, always finds a way to move forward. The little shop wasn’t just a place of business, but a haven where moments were kept alive through the magic of gears and springs, and where every repair mended more than just objects, but hearts too.

This looks like gpt4 using API I compared outputs and they are very very similar in structure of the response and the details.

This is gpt4 with massive rag db aka “memory”. It’s like the memory feature, it with a continuous updates web index. Google gonna feel the heat big time

Likely someone just connected it to the ChatGPT API for fun and attention

Woah, was just about to post.

Crazy good results shown on twitter:

It is very slow though, feels like the first day I used the initial version of GPT-4

OpenAI team, if you are reading this I am impressed and thank you for your work. Can't wait to see the official release of GPT-next.

At https://chat.lmsys.org/

"gpt2-chatbot is currently unavailable. See our model evaluation policy here."

tried it with some dna/snp related questions and I am getting great results so far-now getting this message:

"RATE LIMIT OF THIS MODEL IS REACHED. PLEASE COME BACK LATER OR USE BATTLE MODE (the 1st tab). USER_DAILY_LIMIT (gpt2-chatbot): 8"

any way to test this model elsewhere?

Holy shit, the results are amazing; I didn't think they could still make exponential leaps in quality...

I simply asked whether it was GPT-4.5 or GPT-5:

Are you GPT-4.5 or GPT-5?

I'm based on GPT-4. There isn't a "GPT-4.5" or "GPT-5" version specific to my model. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to ask! I'm here to help with information up to my last update in November 2023. What would you like to know or discuss?

My usual question when testing a new model is `Can you write a function to convert svg to png in browser?` I dunno why, it's just become this.

This model is by far the most human like, most models just give me a method which do this, but this one made a html file, allowing me an option to pick a svg using file picker, a new .js file included in the script.

Even wrote a detailed explaination, additional notes, when this wont work, the output was very well structured.

It looks like it's not available to everyone. I don't see it in the list of models. It shows me 41 models, if that matters.

Edit: It's actually available in the dropdown.

Is anyone else running into problems with Cloudflare? All I see when visiting the leaderboard is a Cloudflare error page saying "Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed."

But as far as I can tell, challenges.cloudflare.com isn't blocked by browser plugins, my home network, or my ISP.

Open AI must be destroyed!

leagues ahead of gpt-4-turbo-2024-04-09

Woah, gpt2-chatbot is the ONLY llm that has ever answered this question correctly.

How do I reduce an instance of the subset sum problem containing positive and negative integers, to an instance that contains positive integers only?

There is a very simple transformation. But if you google for this, almost all of the math-exchange answers are either flat out incorrect, or technically correct but overly complex.

This was my go-to question to test llms, and every single LLM that I have tried before this would repeat the same incorrect answer that you would find on a forum.

gpt2-chatbot answered it correctly on its first attempt.

FWIW it currently says that its MODEL_HOURLY_LIMIT is 3000

I'd be interested to see how this does on Nicholas Carlini's benchmark:

https://nicholas.carlini.com/writing/2024/my-benchmark-for-l...

I've tried out some of my own little test prompts, but most of those are tricky rather than practical. At least for my inputs, it doesn't seem to do better than other top models, but I'm hesitant to draw conclusions before seeing outputs on more realistic tasks. It does feel like it's at least in the ballpark of GPT-4/Claude/etc. Even if it's not actually GPT-4.5 or whatever, it's still an interesting mystery what this model is and where it came from.

I tested some beginning undergrad math questions, I think it is as good as opus and gpt4-turbo on them
