- Lumian Gen AI Newsletter Issue #42
Welcome to the 42nd edition of the Lumian Weekly Gen AI Newsletter!
So, imagine this: you're casually browsing the latest AI benchmarking sites—as one does (or maybe just I?) on an evening after work—and boom, there's a new name on the leaderboard: 'gpt2-chatbot'. No fanfare, no press release fireworks, just a mysterious entry that's outscoring the valedictorians of AI like GPT-4. What's going on? Is OpenAI playing a secret game of hide and seek with GPT versions?
This 'gpt2-chatbot' could be a teaser, a mini-trailer of the upcoming blockbuster GPT-5, or maybe it’s a bridge, a GPT-4.5, if you will. Next thing you know, the AI community is all abuzz, dissecting tweets from Sam Altman that are cryptic enough to qualify as modern art. Altman mentions a 'soft spot for gpt2', then tweaks his tweet to align more with our mystery guest, adding just enough spice to the rumor mill.
What’s the big deal, you ask? Well, in the AI soap opera, 'gpt2-chatbot' is the new character who might just steal the show. As the plot thickens, everyone’s glued to their screens, waiting for the next episode where 'gpt2-chatbot' might just get a name that sticks, or better yet, a role in the upcoming AI revolution.
Until we know more, ‘gpt2-chatbot’ is the Banksy of large language models!
