OpenAI has an update to fix the “slowness” of ChatGPT over the past few months.
On Thursday, OpenAI announced an update to GPT-4 Turbo, its most advanced LLM. GPT-4 Turbo is still available in limited preview via API, meaning it does not power ChatGPT. However, hopefully this fix will eventually come to ChatGPT as well.
OpenAI LLM removes the slack.
In December, OpenAI Admitted Complaints that ChatGPT gave less thorough and helpful responses sometimes gave up before completing the task. The issue was attributed to the fact that the model can share a slowly degrading response over time, which may account for why users noticed the issue six months ago.
Users also opined that ChatGPT was slow and less useful because bandwidth was limited to meet high traffic demands. In yesterday’s announcement, OpenAI did not mention specific updates to GPT-4, which currently powers ChatGPT. But updating GPT-4 Turbo and acknowledging the same problem with GPT-4 is a good sign.
Updates to GPT-4 Turbo explained, OpenAI blog post said“This model completes tasks such as code generation more than the previous preview model and is intended to reduce cases of ‘laziness’ where the model does not complete a task.”
GPT-4 Turbo was announced at OpenAI’s developer conference in November (quickly overshadowed by a failed attempt to oust Sam Altman). The GPT-4 Turbo model has more up-to-date information and a larger context window, meaning it is able to process much more data from a single prompt.
As of yesterday, a preview model of the updated GPT-4 Turbo is now available.
