New GPT-4 model available in C-LARA
OpenAI released a new version of GPT-4o last month, the catchily titled gpt-4o-2024-08-06; it is considerably cheaper to use than standard GPT-4o., details here. I have just updated the C-LARA configuration menu to make it available and also set GPT-4o as the default model. If you want to change the GPT-4 model you’re using, first Continue reading

We have made good progress on both adaptation of the reinforcement learning/Chain of Thought idea to C-LARA and support for non-AI languages. A version of the Palgrave Encyclopaedia article has been published as a ResearchGate preprint. Priority list Reinforcement learning and Chain of Thought for MWEs. We have a first version of the core framework in Continue reading

Inappropriate?
One of the most interesting things about ChatGPT is its sense of humour, which often overrides its other constraints. I had a couple of striking examples this week. First, I wondered if the AI would consent to write something about the bizarre rumours concerning JD Vance and the couch. I was sure a straight request Continue reading

Priorities for next phase
Over the last couple of weeks, the AI and I took some time out to do a study on using GPT-4 to play Tic-Tac-Toe. It may sound frivolous, but it’s provided some remarkably useful insights into how to do GPT-4 prompting better. I’ve also got a lot of comments from C-LARA users, both from our Continue reading

I have however been experimenting with using GPT-4 in a different context, which has turned up some interesting ideas with parallelism and few-shot examples Continue reading
