That im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot[1] was in fact the new ChatGPT model as people were assuming few days ago here on HN[2].

Edit: may be not, name of that bot was just "gpt2-chatbot". May be that one was some initial iteration?

The speed things are moving, it feels like we'll get a GPT-4 level "small" model really soon.
I've heard this pitch too. My favorite is when a VC told me my expectations were "too high as 90% of us couldn't get a job at Goldman and that we are just content marketers" which I felt was wonderfully honest.

Not that there is a great culture around coaching people off PIPs, but how's an AI going to effectively coach a person how/where to focus their effort to improve their performance?
If you have a bunch of cars sitting in your garage and you want to test your auto-driving software, you don't start by building a car. Simple as that.
America was only pro-Free Market when they controlled the global economy. Now that there are other competing markets, we will see so many more tariffs and trade wars. Free Market economics only work in your favor when you are the sole superpower.

As a counterpoint, he has a background in magazines, which is often at odds with producing books.

Yes, I'm still upset that I purchased a copy of:

https://lostartpress.com/products/virtuoso

and found it rife with errors (they mis-spell Henry O. Studley's name on the inside front cover), including a duplicated photo (a pair of flat pliers is shown a second time where instead there should be the iconic pair of jeweler's pliers) --- see the excerpt:

https://lostartpress.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/virtuoso_ex...

(which also shows the naïve typesetting of dimensions and that uni-directional quotes are used where primes should have been).

Any reputable book publisher would have issued a cancel for the photo, and no decent composition house would have set dimensions thus.
It's fashionable to hate on Mojo, but I actually hope they succeed. I started my career by writing fast, production-grade replacements for Python programs written by scientists. Without someone like me, they were squandering government-funded compute resources and wasting time on the critical path to delivering their scientific contributions.

Any technological advancement that gets them more efficiency and leverage without the bottleneck of working with a software engineer would both empower scientists and free up software engineers for other problems.

It remains to be seen whether it will actually deliver on this potential. I think a lot has been promised before it's been proven. But I do think something like this is worth attempting and thoughtful work is being applied to the attempt.
I doubt the Emiratis have much interest in monetisation. The value they’re probably looking for is in LLMs as a media asset.

Just like Al Jazeera is valuable for Qataris and sports are valuable for the Saudis. These assets create goodwill domestically and with international stakeholders. Sometimes they make money, but that’s secondary.

If people spend a few hours a day talking to LLMs there’s some media value there.

They may also fear that Western models would be censored or licensed in a way harmful to UAE security and cultural objectives. Imagine if Llama 4’s license prevented military use without approval by some American agency.
I've seen this in aerospace in cases where testing the software against ground truth isn't possible for some reason[1], so you need to generate an alternative version of an algorithm as a sanity check.

[1] This is typically because the expected outputs are not easily known or specified in advance (e.g., interpolating a 3D wind cube to a higher resolution from lower resolution forecast data) and there isn't much if any experimental data, and collecting such data is expensive because it requires flying expensive aircraft around for long periods of time.
GPT-4o and more tools to ChatGPT free users
There was some awareness reading the article, yet "we're warping through the quadrant in our tensor accelerator" is pretty Trek.

Have had that thought occasionally with some of the other articles. What it must read like to somebody who gets a ref link for an article over here. Wandered into some Trek nerd convention discussing warp cores.

I think they’re obliquely referring to the scanning practices of major providers like Gmail, which most people use to filter their spam.
It is really cool that they are bringing this to free users. It does make me wonder what justifies ChatGPT plus now though...
It most certainly isn't. Maybe in a founder friendly thats a competitive advantage.
I've noticed that the GPT-4 model's capabilities seem limited compared to its initial release. Others have also pointed this out. I suspect that making the model free might have required reducing its capabilities to meet cost efficiency goals. I'll have to try it out to see for myself.
As I commented in the other thread, really really disappointed there's no intelligence update and more of a focus on "gimmicks". The desktop app did look really good, especially as the models get smarter. Will be canceling my premium as there's no real purpose of it until that new "flag ship" model comes out.
I don't see 4o or anything new at https://platform.openai.com/docs/models

Overall I am highly skeptical of newer models as they risk worsening the completion quality to make them cheaper for OpenAI to run.
Sure, if you think of it as an egg, instead of as a galaxy of electrons and atoms so dense as to have structure big enough for us to give it the label "egg shaped object".

What if it's a "wireless" device?
Yeah, like they say that the people behind the old paradigms have to die before new paradigms can emerge.

What's your twitter? You're the author of Hyperscript?
But it's "gritty" now.

You intentionally picked fast casual places that are akin to a Chipotle. I'm talking about a sit down place with service.

I'm in San Francisco. Not sure if you've been to a sit down place recently but trying to argue a sit down meal is $25pp inclusive of tax and tip is ridiculous.
First Impressions in no particular order:

Being able to interrupt while GPT is talking
2x faster/cheaper
not really a much smarter model
Desktop app that can see screenshots
Can display emotions with and change the sound of "it's" voice
As per the op: “simplicity is one of the goals”

Not every webapp needs client side hydration. It’s very often wasted CPU cycles on a page that’ll be unloaded three seconds later. Personally I’m happy to see projects like this that live outside the monoculture.
Bomb trucks is what better sensors/networking enabled. Perfromant AI piloting can enable other tactics, i.e. high performance, high G UAVs with great energetics and endurance can feasibly out evade anti air missiles to bruce force through IAMDs at scale. Sensors would matters less if hardware can't intercept because targetting performance envelop without meatbag limits is harder. Being able to detect =/= being able to effectively engage. Not saying AI pilots have impunity, rather it shifts balance towards offense, i.e. instead of taking 2 missiles to have 95% probability of kill, now need 10 missiles, aka all of a sudden the entire structure/feasibility/economics of all sorts of air defense stops making sense. Imagine mutual air superiority in AI vs AI fighters because it's just too wasteful / impractical to shoot each other down, so everyone goes strait for support nodes on land... or carrier aviation. Imagine a carrier group with DDGs, and air wing designed to deter 100 human pilots now being penetrated/overwhelmed by 20.
I wonder what the justification is for buying ChatGPT Pro now they make GPT-4 available for free.

I also wonder if they got a Scarlett Johansson impersonator to do the voice. It sounds eerily like the AI in Her, except for the still present problem with voices dropping out or glitching.

Nonetheless the real-time interaction is extremely impressive. So is the desktop app. Their optimization work must have been incredible to both speed things up and free up enough GPU capacity to make it freely available.
> Then there's a trend towards much shorter numbers. 16 bit floating point? 8 bit? 2 bit? 1 bit?

There was that recent paper titled "The Era of 1-bit LLMs" [0] which was actually suggeting a 1.58 bit LLM (2 bits in practice).

> Someone reading this is probably writing it in VHDL right now, or will be soon.

Yeah, I think I'm in the "will be soon" camp - FPGA board has been ordered. Especially with the 2-bit data types outlined in that paper [0] and more details in [1]. There's really a need for custom hardware to do that 2-bit math efficiently. Customizing one of the simpler open source RISC-V integer implementations seems like something to try here adding in the tiled matrix registers and custom instructions for dealing with them (with the 2 bit data types).

I mean, already ChatGPT alone has made more cultural and historical impact per capita than the aforementioned gentlemen, simply because nobody cares about philosophy. But that was never my point. My point is: you can think of uncle Witt kind of like "postmodern" twist on Socrates, i.e. they're both effectively talking about the same thing: determining optimal form for computing language. Wittgenstein had made considerable progress here, i.e. language games, and now we finally get means to literally compute these. To me it's absolutely clear; this is the most important thing to happen in philosophy.
The most impressive part is that the voice uses the right feelings and tonal language during the presentation. I'm not sure how much of that was that they had tested this over and over, but it is really hard to get that right so if they didn't fake it in some way I'd say that is revolutionary.
As far as I'm concerned this is the new best demo of all time. This is going to change the world in short order. I doubt they will be ready with enough GPUs for the demand the voice+vision mode is going to get, if it's really released to all free users.

Now imagine this in a $16k humanoid robot, also announced this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzX1qOIO1bE The future is going to be wild.
Something must be done about him, quite frankly. He’s too creepy.
This is so amazing.. are there any open source models that are in any way comparable? Fully multimodal audio-to-audio etc.?
Parts of the demo were quite choppy (latency?) so this definitely feels rushed in response to Google I/O.

Other than that, looks good. Desktop app is great, but I didn’t see no mention of being able to use your own API key so OS projects might still be needed.

The biggest thing is bringing GPT-4 to free users, that is an interesting move. Depending on what the limits are, I might cancel my subscription.
They mentioned capabilities will be rolled out over the next few weeks: https://youtu.be/DQacCB9tDaw?t=5018
> There are so many bugs and glitches in the human psyche to explain what's happening and why it takes so much patience, and so much effort, to ever get anyone to take threats seriously or to change their behavior, for any reason.

> "Bad news messengers may be prime candidates in recipients' search for antagonists to cast in accounts of unwanted outcomes." Bad news also motivates people to come up with "fallacious" causal explanations "often generated effortlessly, seemingly automatically." They generate these fallacious explanations through poor reasoning "characterized by shallow, unconscious thought."

I feel like it is much more productive to understand what is going on in people's minds when they say wrong things VS debunking and moralizing. It is a LOT of work though.
That seems like an unfortunate name. "Dolt" is another word for "idiot".

> Developers can also now access GPT-4o in the API as a text and vision model. GPT-4o is 2x faster, half the price, and has 5x higher rate limits compared to GPT-4 Turbo. We plan to launch support for GPT-4o's new audio and video capabilities to a small group of trusted partners in the API in the coming weeks.
The license is explicit that it can be updated unilaterally. Nobody can adopt this software and claim not to know that's a possibility. There are attorneys specializing in open source licenses who comment on HN regularly, and maybe they'll surprise us, but, as a non-lawyer nerding out on this stuff I put all my chips down on "this is legally fine".
Maybe some size reduction? I think they need to figure out just how big enough to carry enough fuel for range and weapons payload

OpenAI Sora: Expectations versus Reality
I would love to discuss this topic with you, but unfortunately you seem to misunderstand every single point you've brought up in your response :( . Perhaps I can help clarify a few things so that an actual discussion can be started:

> Zelenski was considered the appeasement president...

Zelenski was voted president several years after 2014, in 2019. If anyone "appeased" Russia, it was the guy appointed interim prime minister (with USA support) after the revolution, Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Even though Zelensky was never very vocal in opposition to Russia during his early mandate, he did sign, in March 2021, a "strategy for de-occupation and reintegration of the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.". You can read more about that from Ukrainin media: https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-polytics/3214479-zelensky-e...

Zelenskyy's also was in Brussels in June 2019 to talk with NATO officials. That was not conductive to peaceful negotiations with Russia.

He did try to find a peaceful resolution for the conflict in Donbas, and almost reached a deal with Putin after they met face to face (all they had to do was accept local elections results and the Russians were going to withdraw) but was stopped by his own government supporters who even accused him of "playing in the hands of Putin" (a familiar accusation these days). They wanted a hardline on Russia, and we all know what that has led to.

Now, I absolutely agree that right before the invasion, Zelensky made an effort to ease the tensions as the invasion was imminent. But by then, it was too little, too late.

> It wants Ukraine to be kept in eternal war that thaws and is frozen as needed, so Ukraine cannot enter EU nor NATO forever.

There's no basis on reality with that sort of rhetoric. Putin has been open to peace deal negotiations on multiple occasions, a deal was almost reached in Belarus just a couple of months into the conflict (it was the West who backed off those discussions). Putin has declared very recently he's open to dialogue, but as you may know, Zelensky has declared that no discussion will be had while Putin is in office. How can you defend such an argument given those facts?!? It really boggles my mind people say things like this with a straight face.

> The solution is to stop Russia once and for all.

There's only one way to do that: nuclear war. Because if you try to invade Russia to "stop them once and for all", you know all too well that's what you'll get. I hope you're not seriously advocating for that... if you are, I sincerely hope that you'll remember that you were on the wrong side of history when your family and friends, perhaps you yourself, suffer the consequences of such callous actions... but I do believe most people are not that murder-inclined, so this will not come to ever become a reality.

> So if I'm reading this right, huge layoffs followed by lots of churn with an overall decrease in salaries. But I must be missing something because the framing & wording seems to suggest that this is a positive thing.

You read it right. Private Equity firms come in, and then lay off everyone they can and replace them with the cheapest folks possible, to churn down salaries and get rid of long-time staff with higher benefits costs. It's the classic playbook, and it's written here positively because if you're a soulless MBA beancounter, this is a positive thing. If you're a 50 year old engineer who is 12 years from retirement and just got a cancer diagnosis 6 months prior, it's not a good thing though.
> "Assigning a /64 or longer prefix does not conform to IPv6 standards and will break functionality in customer LANs. With a single /64, the end customer CPE will have just one possible network on the LAN side and it will not be possible to subnet, assign VLANs, alternative SSIDs, or have several chained routers in the same customer network, etc."

Am I the only one who thinks that IPv6’s design gets this wrong? Address bits are not free, and IPv6 added 96 bits of address for nowhere near a 2^96-fold expansion of usable space. Instead we end up with a bunch of /48 and /56 prefixes, which honestly seem a bit uncomfortably limiting. With 128-bit addresses, there ought to be an absurd amount of space to go around, and there sort of isn’t.

Beyond that, IPv4 does pretty well being minimally constrained in how networks are laid out. IPv6 makes everything awkward as soon as anyone goes off the beaten /64 path, and I’ve never seen any actual benefit derived from having supposedly stable interface IDs.
For posterity, GPT-3.5/4's tokenizer was 100k. The benefit of a larger tokenizer is more efficient tokenization (and therefore cheaper/faster) but with massive diminishing returns: the larger tokenizer makes the model more difficult to train but tends to reduce token usage by 10-15%.
I suspect GameStop knows this.

All of the ones near me have reconfigured their stores to emphasize game and geek-culture related merchandise and memorabilia instead of games.

I think there’s probably still a decent market for used console games from the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, and all the generations of Gameboys, and of course they could sell both new and used consoles and accessories. I think they could survive in these niches if they consolidate their stores a bit, as they have far too many locations given current market conditions.
I think because usability increases so much (use cases of real-time conversation,
and video-based coding, presentation feedback at work etc...) they would expect usage to drastically increase hence paying users would actually still have incentive to pay.
I admit I drink the koolaid and love LLMs and their applications. But damn, the way it’s responds in the demo gave me goosebumps in a bad way. Like an uncanny valley instincts kicks in.

When I signed up for Hotmail it was 2MB.

Then on April 1st, 2004 Google launched wasn't an April 1st joke... GMail with 1GB! I remember getting a beta invite and inviting others.
Yea, that's the way they're going based on the low-memory models they're building.

Basically all the LLM needs to do is translate human writing to some format that a "normal" service can use. That can then leverage the existing spotlight system that's pretty decent at searching stuff on the phone anyway.

Then it'll report it back to the LLM which translates whatever format back to something humans can process.

Basically "less shit Siri"

GPT Store now threatens App Store?
With the recent launch of OpenAI making GPT-4o free to use, it seems that GPT Store is going to definitely threaten App Store for it's dominance.
I guess that explains why OpenAI are rushing to make their models free despite having paying users. They don't want to lose market share to local LLMs just yet.
Correct link https://openai.com/index/hello-gpt-4o/
> what next, starting a forum?

Starting HN worked well for YC.
they stated that they will be announcing something new that is on the next frontier (or close to it IIRC) soon. so there will definitely be an incentive to pay because it will be something better than gpt 4o.
With the news that Apple and OpenAI are closing / just closed a deal for iOS 18, it's easy to speculate we might be hearing about that exciting new model at WWDC...
Parsing emotions in vocal inflections (and reliably producing them in vocal output) seems quite under-hyped in this release.

That seems to represent an entirely new depth of understanding of human reality.
Yeah, the idea that you can triangulate from the delay in receiving timestamps that are synchronized within (40ns? seems high, see below) isn't that mind-blowing. If you have synchronized clocks and a mechanism that records timestamps from various locations with those clocks when you get a voltage spike on an antenna, you can triangulate lightning strikes to within several hundred feet - from practically anywhere in the hemisphere (blitzortung.org).

But i like pointing out that it was the relativistic part that was impressive, for sure.

40ns seems high since you can have an "error" after many hours of receiving of less than 10ns, and on a good, clear day, you can get to within 1ns, on cheap hardware. My GPS drift is 10 feet over a week, gradually getting smaller. If i put my good receiver in the center of my kitchen, the points converge to within the confines of the walls within 48 hours.

However this may just be error correction, and the satellite clocks may be inaccurate to 40ns, i am unsure.
[EDIT] The model has since been added to the docs

Not seeing it or any of those documented here:

https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/overview
Given that they are moving all these features to free users, it tells us that GPT-5 is around the corner and is significantly much better than their previous models.
Holy crap, the level of corporate cringe of that "two AIs talk to each other" scene is mind-boggling.

It feels like a pretty strong illustration of the awkwardness of getting value from recent AI developments. Like, this is technically super impressive, but also I'm not sure it gives us anything we couldn't have one year ago with GPT-4 and ElevenLabs.
