The "higher level algorithm" of "how to do abstract thought" is unknown. Even if LLMs solve "how to do language", that was hardly the only missing piece of the puzzle. The fact that solving the language compone

It's interesting how much hand-holding the agents need to behave reasonably. Consider the prompt governing reflection: >What 5 high-level insights can you infer from the above statements? (example format: insight (because of 1, 5, 3

Setting aside the specific choice of tokenizer for GPT models, I'm curious how much difference in performance is made by the features of the human language used to represent the training data. Like if you kept the exact same training c

Even in the case of a full size GPT, one could equivalently write out a lookup table for every possible permutation of tokens in the context window and the resulting output distribution. The table would of course be impossibly large.

Sure, but some of the comparison cities (e.g. Memphis and Albuquerque) have huge areas of undeveloped land within their city limits. There's no good reason to compute a per square mile statistic given the vastly different definitions o

An important thing to keep in mind when reading articles about GPT's test-taking abilities is that for humans, the tests are merely proxies. The point of taking the bar exam isn't that we need people to be able to pass the bar exa

A more accurate title would be "decrease GPT4's context size by asking it to obfuscate your prompts". You're getting a prompt that consumes more tokens and isn't particularly faithful to the original.

The text it compressed is from Wikipedia, so I'm not convinced it isn't primarily relying on having memorized it. I tried with text that was published in the past week (and so definitely isn't in GPT-4's training). GPT-4
