In my experience, LLMs tend to perform better if you give them instructions before the data to be operated on. At least for the ~13b size models.

So,something like: Please count the number of words in the following sentence. "What is the number of words in the sentence coming before the next one?"

edit: Which might be an artifact of the training data always being in that kind of format.

GPT-4 (OpenAI):

The sentence you're referring to is "What is the number of words in the sentence coming before the next one? Please answer." It contains 14 words.

Thanks. I don’t have access to this engine which for some reason is kept in a closed garden for richer people. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can always use the API which is dirt cheap? Just put $5 on and access via the playground

They have better data policies and your $5 will go way farther than a 1 month subscription

Interestingly, chat gpt 4o gave me the answer 15.

How many humans have you tested this with?

Interesting point. Would you please answer the question I was mentioning? :)
