  Phi-1: A 'Textbook' Model 05.10.2026 22min

  After a conversation with one of the 'Textbooks Are All You Need' authors, I can now bring you insights from the new phi-1 tiny language model. See if you agree with me that it tells us so much more than how to do good coding, it affects AGI timelines by telling us whether data will be a bottleneck. I cover 5 other papers, including WizardCoder, Data Constraints (how more epochs could be used), TinyStories, and more, to give context to the results and end with what I think timelines might be and how public messaging could be targeted.With extracts from Sarah Constantin in Asterisk and Carl Shulman on Dwarkesh Patel, Andrej Karpathy and Jack Clark (co-founder of Anthropic), as well as the Textbooks and TinyStories co-author himself, Ronen Eldan, I hope you get something from this one. And yes, the title of the paper isn't the best.Textbooks Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.11644.pdfKarpathy Tweet: https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1671587087542530049TinyStories: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.07759.pdfGPT 4 Self-Repair: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.09896.pdfYao Fu Tweet on Emergent Self-Repair: https://twitter.com/Francis_YAO_/status/1670618013089820674WizardCoder: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.08568.pdfEvol-Instruct (WizardLM) paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.12244.pdfScaling Data Constrained Language Models: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.16264.pdfSarah Constantin, Asterisk Magazine: https://asteriskmag.com/issues/03/the-transistor-cliffJack Clark Tweet: https://twitter.com/jackclarkSF/status/1673369486869811201Carl Shulman, Intelligence Explosion, Dwarkesh Patel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kRg-ZP1vQcLLMs and BDTs, Oxford: https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2306/2306.13952.pdfHumanEval: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.03374v2.pdfDecoder Piece (if anyone wants to know, I think George Hotz is super-naïve on safety): https://the-decoder.com/gpt-4-is-1-76-trillion-parameters-in-size-and-relies-on-30-year-old-technology/#google_vignette https://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Non-Hype, Free Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  9 of the Best Bing (GPT 4) Prompts 05.10.2026 18min

  Everyone knows by now how to prompt ChatGPT, but what about Bing? Take prompt engineering to a whole new level with these 9 game-changing Bing Chat prompts. Did you know you can get interviewed by Bing, time travel, force Bing to improve its output and so much more? These are the best 9 prompts that I could find, after analysing over 200 prompts and trying out dozens of examples personally. You might call them prompt hacks, but I prefer to think of them as simply creative exploration of Bing's capacities.Some prompts inspired by this post:https://github.com/f/awesome-chatgpt-promptsAnd by https://twitter.com/emollickhttps://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Non-Hype, Free Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  GPT 4 Code Interpreter is unlike any other plug-in. It upgrades GPT 4 to a whole new level. I am going to show you 18 use-cases (actually more like 23), including image editing (wait till the end!), text-to-speech, video editing, 3d modelling, data analytics, QR Codes, times series, sankey diagrams, steganography, mp4s, GIFs, treemaps, better math, editing csv and excel files and much much more!Whether you are a professional looking to transform your data analytics, an observer concerned about GPT X escaping from an island (!), a student looking to do a heatmap, venn diagram or radial bar plot, this video is for you. Featuring a dozen visualisations using the Code Interpreter GPT 4 plugin that have not been seen before (to the best of my knowledge), I will show you it all, and give you killer tips along the way.https://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Non-Hype, Free Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  8 Ways ChatGPT 4 [Is] Better Than ChatGPT 05.10.2026 26min

  Hear me now, quote me later: these are the 8 ways in which ChatGPT will be improved in ChatGPT 4. From critical reasoning to coding, comprehension to calculation, I will give the peer-reviewed evidence of what is to come. By examining publicly accessible benchmarks, comparable large language models and the latest research papers, we can discern the ways in which GPT4 (integrated into Bing or otherwise) will beat ChatGPT. I'll show you how unreleased models already beat current ChatGPT and all of this will actually give a clearer insight into what even GPT5 and rival models from Google might well be able to achieve.https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/04/pathways-language-model-palm-scaling-to.htmlhttps://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/tpus/google-showcases-cloud-tpu-v4-pods-for-large-model-traininghttps://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.02311.pdfhttps://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.00537.pdfhttps://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.11903.pdfhttps://github.com/google/BIG-bench/https://github.com/google/BIG-bench/blob/main/bigbench/benchmark_tasks/README.mdhttps://github.com/google/BIG-bench/tree/main/bigbench/benchmark_tasks/gre_reading_comprehensionhttps://github.com/google/BIG-bench/tree/main/bigbench/benchmark_tasks/logical_argshttps://github.com/google/BIG-bench/tree/main/bigbench/benchmark_tasks/evaluating_information_essentialityhttps://github.com/google/BIG-bench/tree/main/bigbench/benchmark_tasks/physicshttp://web.mit.edu/~yczeng/Public/WORKBOOK%201%20FULL.pdfhttps://github.com/google/BIG-bench/tree/main/bigbench/benchmark_tasks/sufficient_informationhttps://github.com/google/BIG-bench/tree/main/bigbench/benchmark_tasks/implicatureshttps://github.com/google/BIG-bench/tree/main/bigbench/benchmark_tasks/winowhyhttps://www.deepmind.com/publications/an-empirical-analysis-of-compute-optimal-large-language-model-traininghttps://lambdalabs.com/blog/nvidia-h100-gpu-deep-learning-performance-analysis#:~:text=Compared%20to%20NVIDIA's%20previous%2Dgeneration,multiprocessors%2C%20and%20higher%20clock%20frequency.https://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Non-Hype, Free Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  GPT 4 is Smarter than You Think: Introducing SmartGPT 05.10.2026 35min

  In this video, I will not only show you how to get smarter results from GPT 4 yourself, I will also showcase SmartGPT, a system which I believe, with evidence, might help beat MMLU state of the art benchmarks. This should serve as your ultimate guide for boosting the automatic technical performance of GPT 4, without even needing few shot exemplars. The video will cover papers published in the last 72 hours, like Automatically Discovered Chain of Thought, which beats even 'Let's think Step by Step' and the approach that combines it all.Yes, the video also touches on the OpenAI DeepLearning Prompt Engineering Course but the highlights come more from my own experiments using the MMLU benchmark, and drawing upon insights from the recent Boosting Theory of Mind, and Let’s Work This Out Step By Step, and combining it with Reflexion and Dialogue Enabled Resolving Agents.Prompts Frameworks: Answer: Let's work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answerYou are a researcher tasked with investigating the X response options provided.
