The breakthrough with GPT-1 came from recognizing a unique property in unsupervised learning that others had overlooked.

The core of generative AI relies on supervised learning to predict the next word in a sequence, enabling the creation of coherent text.

Writer started in 2020, before GPT-2 existed, focusing on statistical models and later transitioning to transformer models after the 2019 paper on transformers was published.

The main advantages of GPT-4 include faster response times, sharper reasoning that reduces misunderstandings, and more natural language that feels relatable rather than robotic.

The defining characteristics of the GPT paradigm are that you can predict the test loss, and it scales predictably, leading to greater intelligence in various intangible ways.

In testing GPT-4.5, we found it has nuanced abilities that were unexpected, indicating it is more intelligent in ways that are hard to characterize ahead of time.

The evolution of language models, particularly with the introduction of GPT-3, has demonstrated a significant leap in their ability to perform language tasks, even though they do not possess real-world knowledge.

The reasoning models push the capabilities of GPT models further, allowing for better performance by thinking step by step.

A model that combines the knowledge and intuition of GPT-4.5 with advanced reasoning capabilities would be exceptionally powerful, making GPT-4.5 a crucial bridge towards that future.
