> I know Claude got a version bump, GPT3.5/4 accessible via API seem the same.

GPT3.5 just got an update a few days ago that resulted in a pretty good improvement on its creativity. I saved some sample outputs from the previous March model, and for the same prompt the difference is quite dramatic. Prose is much less formulaic overall.

Meanwhile GPT 4 got lobotomised around the same time.

It can't even solve simplified versions of problems it had zero issues with just a week ago.

Wait, really? I've only been using GPT4 and it seemed like it's been getting incrementally better. Do you have any test cases?

Literally all of them! Comprehension, translation, problem solving, etc….

It’s worse at everything.

Nah

You know, I'm noticing it seems to work better on off-hours - I get better quality responses late at night. I wonder if they're using a lighter model when there's more demand on the system.

Thank you, every little comment I get from fellow boots on the ground is so valuable, lotta noise these days.

Random Q, I don’t use the ChatGPT front end much past month or two, used it a week back and it seemed blazingly faster than my integration: do you have a sense of if it got faster too?

Yeah I've noticed the front end for 3.5 responds almost instantly to complex questions. It'll pop out an entire page of code in under a couple seconds. I think API responses may be a bit faster than before, some of my queries that took 30s before now take around 20s, but they are obviously prioritizing their own site.

Is this update made visible somewhere? The language models offered on my Playground are still the ones from March, same with ChatGPT.
