> The idea that maybe Microsoft or Apple or Google or FB doesn't have enough good engineers to code a best-in-class language model is absurd.

Yet Meta's 175billion parameter blenderbot is absolute garbage. Despite claiming stats like 'being twice as knowledgeable' or ' Compared with GPT3, on topical questions it is found to be more up-to-date 82 percent of the time and more specific 76 percent of the time'

Feel free to try yourself.

That's an AI they released 3 months earlier than ChatGPT, that wasn't built for the purposes of ChatGPT.

At lot happens in the space in 3 months. See where OpenAI was a year ago compared to today...

3 months versus 12 months - a 9 month difference. OpenAI wasn't actually far from today 3 months ago.
