Benchmarking GPT-4 Turbo – A Cautionary Tale
Summary: Mentat compared GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo on Exercism benchmarks, with GPT-4 solving 70% and GPT-4 Turbo solving 68.8% of JavaScript exercises. GPT-4 Turbo solved fewer tasks on the first attempt, possibly due to losing raw memorization capability during downsizing. Results suggest that benchmarks derived from GPT's training data aren't accurate for comparing models trained on separate datasets or distilled models. Mentat is developing better benchmarks based on recent commits to open source repositories.
