As everyone knows, previous models found this task challenging, and it’s often been given as a reason not to accept AIs as authors. But apparently no longer. Here’s the conversation in full: I checked on… Continue reading

Y0u can select them from the Edit configuration information screen in the usual way: Based on some preliminary testing, I would not… Continue reading

o1-preview interprets Fosse
Here’s a recent interaction with the new OpenAI model o1-preview, which I at least found rather impressive: mannyrayner: I have an unusual task you may be able to assist with.
