This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Strange that they don't just use an open weights model; there are several now that surpass ChatGPT 3.5, which is probably good enough for what they need.
Might be that they started training before those open models were available. Or they were just lazy and OpenAI's API was easier.
What models have u foubd to surpass 3.5? Any outpaced gpt4 yet?
Mistral 7B and deepseek-ai are two open-weight models that surpass 3.5, though not 4, on several measures.
Mixtral 8x7B, just out. Codes better than ChatGPT in the few prompts I've done so far, and I can run it at 2 to 3 tokens per second on my GPU-less laptop.
