Gopher vs GPT-4

Discover the cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence with DeepMind's exploration of language processing capabilities in AI. At the heart of this exploration is Gopher, a 280-billion-parameter language model designed to understand and generate human-like text. Language serves as the core of human intelligence, enabling us to express thoughts, create memories, and foster understanding.

Realizing its importance, DeepMind's interdisciplinary teams have endeavored to drive the development of language models like Gopher, balancing innovation with ethical considerations and safety. Learn how these language models are advancing AI research by enhancing performance in tasks ranging from reading comprehension to fact-checking while identifying limitations such as logical reasoning challenges. Attention is also given to the potential ethical and social risks associated with large language models, including the propagation of biases and misinformation, and the steps being taken to mitigate these risks.

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.
