Chain of Thought Prompting vs GPT-4

Chain of Thought Prompting is an innovative approach to enhance interaction with Large Language Models (LLMs), enabling them to provide detailed explanations of their reasoning processes. This method, highlighted in the work by Wei et al., shows considerable promise in improving the accuracy of AI responses in various tasks such as arithmetic, commonsense understanding, and symbolic reasoning. Through examples and comparative analysis, readers can understand the advantages of this approach, especially when applied to larger models with around 100 billion parameters or more. However, it's noted that smaller models do not benefit as much and may produce less logical outputs. The content offers insights into the technique's intricacies and its limitations, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to delve into the world of AI and Prompt Engineering.

GPT-4 is the latest milestone in OpenAI’s effort in scaling up deep learning.

GPT-4 is a large multimodal model (accepting image and text inputs, emitting text outputs) that, while less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios, exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks. For example, it passes a simulated bar exam with a score around the top 10% of test takers; in contrast, GPT-3.5’s score was around the bottom 10%. We’ve spent 6 months iteratively aligning GPT-4 using lessons from our adversarial testing program as well as ChatGPT, resulting in our best-ever results (though far from perfect) on factuality, steerability, and refusing to go outside of guardrails.

GPT-4 is more creative and collaborative than ever before. It can generate, edit, and iterate with users on creative and technical writing tasks, such as composing songs, writing screenplays, or learning a user’s writing style.
