Anthropic's Claude 3 Opus has surpassed OpenAI's GPT-4 for the first time on Chatbot Arena. Chatbot Arena is a leaderboard run by the Large Model Systems Organization, a research organization dedicated to open models. Its site allows visitors to rate outputs from various models, enabling it to calculate the best models in aggregate. While Claude's rise is notable, GPT-4 is now over a year old.

The community is very excited about the potential of Agents to tackle a variety of digital workloads. However, even the best general-purpose models struggle to complete tasks where humans succeed 70%+ of the time. It is becoming clear that we may need specially trained models for these tasks.

GPT-4's dominance in AI benchmarks has been challenged by four new models from different vendors, each showing the potential to surpass GPT-4's capabilities. However, concerns arise as, amidst growing legal and ethical considerations, none of these models are open-source or transparent about their training data. The push for models trained on public domain or licensed content continues, highlighting the complexity of creating competitive AI without proprietary data.

There are 3 prominent models in the AI landscape: GPT-4, Claude 3 Opus, and Gemini Advanced. Each has distinct characteristics and capabilities, catering to different needs such as coding, writing, or streamlining basic tasks. This article delves into concepts like context windows and agents, highlighting how these features enhance AI systems capabilities. Even though GPT-4 remains the benchmark and standard, new emerging features in other models could make them solid alternatives in the near future depending on the specific use case.

Researchers have demonstrated that OpenAI's GPT-4 model can autonomously exploit security vulnerabilities detailed in CVE advisories with an 87% success rate, far outperforming other models and tools like vulnerability scanners.

The team at OpenAI has discovered 16 million interpretable features in GPT-4 including price increases, algebraic rings, and who/what correspondence. This is a great step forward for SAE interpretability at scale. They shared the code in a companion GitHub repository.

Imbue has trained and released an extremely powerful 70B language model. It uses Imbue's custom optimizer and some great data filtering techniques. The model was trained with zero loss spikes.
