OpenAI’s GPT-4 LLM (Large Language Model) has been experiencing a decrease in performance lately, causing frustration among users who have noticed its decline in efficiency. OpenAI has recently confirmed these concerns by acknowledging that GPT-4 has indeed become ‘lazier’.
According to a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), OpenAI explained the reason behind GPT-4’s current state. It appears that the AI tech firm has not made any updates to the model since November 11, a duration of an entire month. OpenAI has not provided specific details as to why the model was not updated, but assures users that it was not intentional.
OpenAI is actively working on rectifying this issue, although there is no information available regarding when the fix will be available to users. In the meantime, users of ChatGPT, which relies on GPT-4, may experience a degradation in performance with only certain prompts. OpenAI has not disclosed which prompts specifically present challenges for the LLM.
It is important to note that GPT-4 serves as the foundation for several other AI models besides ChatGPT. However, the potential impact of not updating GPT-4 for a month on the performance of other AI models, such as Microsoft’s Copilot, remains unclear. Google’s newly launched Gemini could offer an alternative solution for those dissatisfied with GPT-4’s performance, as it is considered to be on par with its predecessor.
