OpenAI Degrades GPT-4 Performance While GPT-3.5 Gets Better
When OpenAI announced its GPT-4 model, it first became a part of ChatGPT, behind the paywall for premium users. The GPT-4 is the latest installment in the Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) Large Language Models (LLMs). The GPT-4 aims to be a more capable version than the GPT-3.5 that powered ChatGPT at first, which was capable once it launched. However, it seems like the performance of GPT-4 has been steadily dropping since its introduction. Many users noted the regression, and today we have researchers from Stanford University and UC Berkeley, who benchmarked the GPT-4 performance in March 2023, and the model's performance in June 2023 in tasks like solving math problems, visual reasoning, code generation, and answering sensitive questions.
The results? The paper shows that GPT-4 performance has been significantly degraded in all the tasks. This could be attributed to improving stability, lowering the massive compute demand, and much more. What is unexpected, GPT-3.5 experienced a significant uplift in the same period. Below, you can see the examples that were benchmarked by the researchers, which also compare GTP-4 and GPT-3.5 performance in all cases.
