gpt2-chatbot makes debut
A new AI model, dubbed gpt2-chatbot, surfaced yesterday on LMSYS Arena, sparking widespread speculation on platforms like Reddit about whether it represents an advanced iteration from OpenAI, potentially labeled as GPT-4.5 or even GPT-5.OpenAI has remained tight-lipped, but a cryptic post by CEO Sam Altman mentioning his fondness for "gpt2" has fuelled the rumour mill.
Observers who've accessed the gpt2-chatbot note its superior performance in complex areas such as programming, physics and mathematics, despite a daily usage cap.
Curious users can engage with this enigmatic AI by visiting chat.lmsys.org, navigating to "Direct Chat," and selecting the gpt2-chatbot model.
Rapid advancements
In a recent interaction with Stanford students, Altman hinted at ongoing work on GPT-6, suggesting that GPT-5 might soon be unveiled, pointing to the rapid pace of AI advancements at OpenAI.
Reminding us of the competitive edge in AI technology, OpenAI was the first recipient of Nvidia’s powerful DGX H200 supercomputer, delivered by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. This follows the pattern of GPT-4’s debut via Bing Chat, which occurred weeks before its formal introduction.
The emergence of gpt2-chatbot raises intriguing questions about the future capabilities of AI models and their impact on technology and society.
Is GPT-5 just around the corner, or is it merely a flurry of unfounded excitement?
The tech community watches eagerly, poised on the brink of potentially groundbreaking developments.
