Lecture Notes: Advances in GPT-01 Model

Introduction

• Discussion of GPT-01 model advancements.
• Focus on reasoning and diagnosis capabilities.

Model Training and Transparency

• New model is more experimental than theoretical.
• OpenAI's lack of transparency in sharing training details.
• Comparison with Meta’s approach of sharing insights.

Model Naming and Variants

• Three variants: 01, 01 Preview, 01 Mini.
• 01 Mini already better than GPT-4.

Capabilities of the New Model

• Pure text-based model, no vision or audio capabilities.
• Enhanced reasoning capabilities.
• Integrated ‘chain of thought’ reasoning.
