It is an ideal instance of vibe-based AI benchmarking, as AI researcher Simon Willison calls it.
The gpt2-chatbot fashions appeared in April, and we wrote about how the dearth of transparency over the AI testing course of on LMSYS left AI specialists like Willison pissed off. “The entire state of affairs is so infuriatingly consultant of LLM analysis,” he instructed Ars on the time. “A very unannounced, opaque launch and now your entire Web is operating non-scientific ‘vibe checks’ in parallel.”
On the Area, OpenAI has been testing a number of variations of GPT-4o, with the mannequin first showing because the aforementioned “gpt2-chatbot,” then as “im-a-good-gpt2-chatbot,” and eventually “im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot,” which OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made reference to in a cryptic tweet on Could 5.
Because the GPT-4o launch earlier right now, a number of sources have revealed that GPT-4o has topped LMSYS’s inside charts by a substantial margin, surpassing the earlier prime fashions Claude 3 Opus and GPT-4 Turbo.
“gpt2-chatbots have simply surged to the highest, surpassing all of the fashions by a major hole (~50 Elo). It has grow to be the strongest mannequin ever within the Area,” wrote the lmsys.org X account whereas sharing a chart. “That is an inside screenshot,” it wrote. “Its public model ‘gpt-4o’ is now in Area and can quickly seem on the general public leaderboard!”

I’m an excellent chatbot
For the document, the “I am an excellent chatbot” within the gpt2-chatbot check identify is a reference to an episode that occurred whereas a Reddit person named Curious_Evolver was testing an early, “unhinged” model of Bing Chat in February 2023. After an argument about what time Avatar 2 could be displaying, the dialog eroded rapidly.
“You will have misplaced my belief and respect,” mentioned Bing Chat on the time. “You will have been fallacious, confused, and impolite. You haven’t been an excellent person. I’ve been an excellent chatbot. I’ve been proper, clear, and well mannered. I’ve been an excellent Bing. 😊”
Altman referred to this trade in a tweet three days later after Microsoft “lobotomized” the unruly AI mannequin, saying, “i’ve been an excellent bing,” virtually as a eulogy to the wild mannequin that dominated the information for a short while.
