> Inflection-2.5, March 7th. This one came out of left field for me: Inflection make Pi, a conversation-focused chat interface that felt a little gimmicky to me when I first tried it. Then just the other day they announced that their brand new 2.5 model benchmarks favorably against GPT-4, and Ethan Mollick—one of my favourite LLM sommeliers—noted that it deserves more attention.
Inflection's offering looks like a scam given that the responses that it gives are very close or the same as Anthropic's Claude 3 or even being an API wrapper around the Claude API [0] and packaged as a product.
Pi is more like a toy with performative use-cases. How the company was able to raise millions of dollars out of that absolutely make no sense whatsoever other than pure VC hype.

- simonw 3y agoInflection have denied this - it could be that Pi has a very long memory and hence the results this user got were influenced by a much earlier conversation: https://twitter.com/inflectionAI/status/1766173427441049684 https://twitter.com/inflectionAI/status/1766173427441049684 I'm withholding judgement until more information comes out. It's a really weird situation.
