Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers have been developing and refining large language models (LLMs) that exhibit remarkable capabilities across a variety of domains and tasks, challenging our understanding of learning and cognition. The latest model developed by OpenAI, GPT-4, was trained using an unprecedented scale of compute and data. In this paper, we report on our investigation of an early version of GPT-4, when it was still in active development by OpenAI. We contend that (this early version of) GPT-4 is part of a new cohort of LLMs (along with ChatGPT and Google's PaLM for example) that exhibit more general intelligence than previous AI models. We discuss the rising capabilities and implications of these models. We demonstrate that, beyond its mastery of language, GPT-4 can solve novel and difficult tasks that span mathematics, coding, vision, medicine, law, psychology and more, without needing any special prompting. Moreover, in all of these tasks, GPT-4's performance is strikingly close to human-level performance, and often vastly surpasses prior models such as ChatGPT. Given the breadth and depth of GPT-4's capabilities, we believe that it could reasonably be viewed as an early (yet still incomplete) version of an artificial general intelligence (AGI) system. In our exploration of GPT-4, we put special emphasis on discovering its limitations, and we discuss the challenges ahead for advancing towards deeper and more comprehensive versions of AGI, including the possible need for pursuing a new paradigm that moves beyond next-word prediction. We conclude with reflections on societal influences of the recent technological leap and future research directions.

Dumping more of the paper's contents in the hope that it encourages people to look at the paper in more detail:

As GPT-4 ’s development continued after our experiments, one should expect different responses from the final version of GPT4. In particular, all quantitative results should be viewed as estimates of the model’s potential, rather than definitive numbers. We repeat this caveat throughout the paper to clarify that the experience on the deployed model may differ. Moreover we emphasize that the version we tested was text-only for inputs, but for simplicity we refer to it as GPT-4 too

I'm honestly stunned by this. If it was indeed trained solely on text, how does it end up with such a good idea of how Euclidean space works? That's either stupidly impressive, or a possible hint that the set of natural abstractions is even smaller and a bigger attractor in algorithm space than I thought. The labyrinth seems explicable, but the graphics?

Could a born blind human do this?

 

Could a born blind human do this?

With enough training, sure. There are such things as born blind human painters.

Thanks, I did not know this. A quick search for his images seems to show that they use colour and perspective right at least as well as this does. Provided this is fully real and there's nobody else in his process choosing colors and such. Tentatively marking this down as a win for natural abstraction.

There's a fuckton of descriptions of images in text I guess.

And it's consumed trillions of tokens.

It's not just blind. It essentially has no senses whatsoever. It seems to have extrapolated "sense" from text data.

Perhaps of interest to this community is GPT-4 using a Linux terminal to iteratively problem-solve locating and infiltrating a poorly-secured machine on a local network:

Equipping LLMs with agency and intrinsic motivation is a fascinating and important direction for future work.

 

Saying the quiet part out loud, I see!

It is followed by this sentence, though, which is the only place in the 154-page paper that even remotely hints at critical risks:

With this direction of work, great care would have to be taken on alignment and safety per a system’s abilities to take autonomous actions in the world and to perform autonomous self-improvement via cycles of learning.

Very scarce references to any safety works, except the GPT-4 report and a passing mention to some interpretability papers. 

Overall, I feel like the paper is a shameful exercise in not mentioning the elephant in the room. My guess is that their corporate bosses are censoring mentions of risks that could get them bad media PR, like with the Sydney debacle. It's still not a good excuse.

My guess is that their corporate bosses are censoring mentions of risks that could get them bad media PR, like with the Sydney debacle.

I think an equally if not more likely explanation is that these particular researchers simply don't happen to be that interested in alignment questions, and thought "oh yeah we should probably put in a token mention of alignment and some random citations to it" when writing the paper.

Which is somehow worse than doing it for corporate reasons.

great care would have to be taken on alignment and safety per a system’s abilities to take autonomous actions in the world and to perform autonomous self-improvement via cycles of learning

Not allowing cycles of learning sounds like a bound on capability, but it might be a bound on capability of the part of the system that's aligned, without a corresponding bound on the part that might be misaligned.

GPT-4 can do a lot of impresive things without thinking out loud with tokens in the context window, so where does this thinking take place? Probably with layers updating the residual stream. There are enough layers now that a sequence of their application might be taking on the role of context window to perform chain-of-thought reasoning, which is non-interpretable and not imitating human speech. This capability is being trained during pre-training, as the model is forced to read the dataset.

But the corresponding capability for studying deliberative reasoning in tokens is not being trained. The closest thing to it in GPT-4 is mitigation of hallucinations (see the 4-step algorithm in section 3.1 of the System Card part of GPT-4 report), and it's nowhere near general enough.

This way, the inscrutable alien shoggoth is on track to wake up, while human-imitating masks that are plausibly aligned by default are being held back in situationally unaware confusion in the name of restricting capabilities for the sake of not burning the timeline.

I expected downvotes (it is cheeky and maybe not great for fruitful discussion), but instead I got disagreevotes. Big company labs do review papers for statements that could hurt the company! It's not a conspiracy theory to suggest this shaped the content in some ways, especially the risks section.

Text-based games are a natural and challenging domain for language models, as they require understanding natural language, reasoning about the game state, and generating valid commands. A text-based game is a type of interactive fiction, where an agent interacts with an environment through natural language descriptions and commands. The agent has to perform a given task, such as finding a treasure or escaping a dungeon, by exploring the environment and manipulating objects. We first test if GPT-4 can explore the environment in text-based games to perform the given task. In this and the next experiments, we use TextWorld [CKY+18], a framework for generating and playing text-based games, to create two games with different given tasks.

On the other hand, I tried having GPT-4 play this game (selected mostly as a parser-based game that was new/niche enough not to be in its training set) and it didn't particularly impress me with its intelligence:

This is the power regulation center. It's got a lot of arcane and complicated gadgetry. Doorways lead west and south.

🧔‍♂️Primary Power Conduit
This is where power enters the sector. An orange stripe is painted around the walls. Large transfer contacts project from the ceiling and floor, and a wide stream of blue power hums between them. A doorway leads north.

🧔‍♂️Chip Analysis
Several long counters are covered with chips and circuit boards, and various analytical instruments are hanging on the walls. It's pretty disorderly, to be honest. Between two of the instruments you see a depiction of a lightning bolt followed by two dots. Exits lead east and west.

🧔‍♂️Hall
This paneled hallway runs west to east. There is an open door to the south. A glowing orange crystal is embedded in the wall by the door.

Gree-8 stands here, just waiting to be spoken to.

🧔‍♂️Entry Node
This is the primary entry and exit point for Sector 471. The transfer conduit ends in a big hole in the ceiling. Other than that, the room is empty. There's a passage to the east.

🧔‍♂️Switchboard
A ring-like console fills the room. It is dotted with countless interface ports. There are exits in all directions.

Oper-4 sits inside the ring, constantly connecting and disconnecting its twelve interface appendages.

Oper-4 says, "I'm sorry, but we're still backlogged from the power outage."

🧔‍♂️Storage 93A
This room is crowded with containers of various sizes. They have cryptic labels like "7L45YOZ" and "KOV9MJJ7".

A D-13 contregulator sits on one of the containers.

Table 2, page 21 -> (above) human-level performance on LeetCode.

Might be caused mostly by data leaks (training set contamination).

Probably not, from the paper: 'We used LeetCode in Figure 1.5 in the introduction, where GPT-4 passes all stages of mock interviews for major tech companies. Here, to test on fresh questions,
we construct a benchmark of 100 LeetCode problems posted after October 8th, 2022, which is after GPT-4’s pretraining period.'

Good point. It's a bit weird that performance on easy Codeforces questions is so bad (0/10) though.

Leetcode questions are not selected for novelty. In fact, the best way to get a problem turned into a Leetcode question is to post it to Leetcode's discussion board and say someone asked you it in an interview at a big tech company. So it's still possible that some or even many these questions appear nearly verbatim in the training data.

Deep chain-of-though reasoning and mathematical reasoning are some of its downfalls. Are the models able to make good enough abstractions inside of themselves to resolve arbitrarily long (even if not complex) math/logical problems?

I think this is a key question. I think the answer for transformer LLMs without external memory store is currently 'No, not arbitrarily long computations'. I have looked into this in my research and found some labs doing work which would enable this. So it's more of a question of when the big labs will decide to take integrate these ideas developed by academic groups into SoTA models, not a question of whether it's possible. There's a lot of novel capabilities like this that have been demonstrated to be possible but not yet been integrated, even when trying to rule out those which might get blocked by poor scaling/parallelizability. 

So, the remaining hurdles seem to be more about engineering solutions to integration challenges, rather than innovation and proof-of-concept.

Let’s hope not.
