Not sure what longer contexts we're talking about but didn't we have an old math problem optimized, which even the LLM itself was surprised about, just a week ago? Something which wasn't possible 6 months ago.
OK, the core technology that is the language model still can’t math as well as you’d hope, but how about the end result users see from the system when they interface with it?
“Did you know humans are better at flying today than they were a thousand years ago?” ‘No they’re not, they need planes.’ Technically correct in a way but isn’t it kind of annoying to be so stubbornly pedantic when the context is speed of reaching Point B from Point A?
>You can achieve a lot by coding around the issues, but that's kinda against the point of 'AI', is it?
Will think on that a bit more.
