OpenAI’s GPT-4V is being hailed as the next big thing in AI: a “multimodal” model that can understand both text and images. This has obvious utility, which is why a pair of open source projects have released similar models — but there’s also a dark side that they may have more trouble handling. Here’s how […]

OpenAI’s o1 model sure tries to deceive humans a lot
OpenAI finally released the full version of o1, which gives smarter answers than GPT-4o by using additional compute to “think” about questions. However, AI safety testers found that o1’s reasoning abilities also make it try to deceive humans at a higher rate than GPT-4o — or, for that matter, leading AI models from Meta, Anthropic, and Google. That’s according to red team research published by OpenAI and Apollo Research on Wednesday: “While we find it exciting that reasoning can significantly i

OpenAI’s new tool attempts to explain language models’ behaviors
It’s often said that large language models (LLMs) along the lines of OpenAI’s ChatGPT are a black box, and certainly, there’s some truth to that. Even for data scientists, it’s difficult to know why, always, a model responds in the way it does, like inventing facts out of whole cloth. In an effort to peel […]

OpenAI is testing a version of GPT-4 that can ‘remember’ long conversations
OpenAI has built a version of GPT-4, its latest text-generating model, that can “remember” roughly 50 pages of content thanks to a greatly expanded context window. That might not sound significant. But it’s five times as much information as the vanilla GPT-4 can hold in its “memory” and eight times as much as GPT-3. “The […]

With Evals, OpenAI hopes to crowdsource AI model testing
Alongside GPT-4, OpenAI has open sourced a software framework to evaluate the performance of its AI models. Called Evals, OpenAI says that the tooling will allow anyone to report shortcomings in its models to help guide improvements. It’s a sort of crowdsourcing approach to model testing, OpenAI explains in a blog post. “We use Evals […]
