Three findings from a trial use of a GPT-4 tutor for Harvard's intro CS course: 1) Students found it useful (88% found it helpful) & used it a lot 2) The AI made mistakes, even with RAG (81% accurate) 3) It was pretty cheap Lots of potential but R&D needed cs.harvard.edu/malan/publica…

GPT-4 for empowering non-programmers to build apps and gradually teach them to be full-fledged programmers:
Replying to @gdb
This is actually how I built Web Requests & WebGPT🤖. March of last year, I didn’t know how to code in python. I asked GPT-4 to implement the basic functionality of getting HTTP data from an API endpoint back in April/May of last year. Then, I put the code base on a secret Gist and kept pointing the GPT-4 Plugin to its own source code with new feature requests, improvements, and bug fixes. Directing its attention to the parts it was to work on next. I repeated this process several thousand times over the course of the next 7 months to today. And now it’s a fully Asynchronous Quart ASGI service pushing 5,000 lines of code, and can do all this 👇 It’s AI building itself. It also taught me Python in the process. I am quite proficient now. And the Python it wrote is quite capable. Here’s an example of how we persist sessions with no authentication necessary just by maintaining a working knowledge model of the Ephemeral User ID’s and Conversation ID’s.

I’m very excited to share our work on Gemini today! Gemini is a family of multimodal models that demonstrate really strong capabilities across the image, audio, video, and text domains. Our most-capable model, Gemini Ultra, advances the state of the art in 30 of 32 benchmarks, including 10 of 12 popular text and reasoning benchmarks, 9 of 9 image understanding benchmarks, 6 of 6 video understanding benchmarks, and 5 of 5 speech recognition and speech translation benchmarks. Gemini Ultra is the first model to achieve human-expert performance on MMLU across 57 subjects with a score above 90%. It also achieves a new state-of-the-art score of 62.4% on the new MMMU multimodal reasoning benchmark, outperforming the previous best model by more than 5 percentage points. Gemini was built by an awesome team of people from @GoogleDeepMind, @GoogleResearch, and elsewhere at @Google, and is one of the largest science and engineering efforts we’ve ever undertaken. As one of the two overall technical leads of the Gemini effort, along with my colleague @OriolVinyalsML, I am incredibly proud of the whole team, and we’re so excited to be sharing our work with you today! There’s quite a lot of different material about Gemini available, starting with: Main blog post: blog.google/technology/ai/go… 60-page technical report authored by th Gemini Team: deepmind.google/gemini/gemin… In this thread, I’ll walk you through some of the highlights.

TASHA MCCAULEY (gently) We respect your dedication, Sam. This decision wasn't made lightly. The screen shows Sam, looking reflective and somber, juxtaposed with the board members, each showing a blend of resolve and regret. FADE OUT.
