... thankfully you can also not login via Google.

Anyway it doesn't work even slightly. When I simply try 4+4= it prints some source code afterwards. A second attempt wrote some printf() call which computed 6+1 instead (but not giving the result, just the code). When I try what someone else shared below with a Q: and A: syntax I get this:

Q: What is 8 + 8? \n A: \n The answer looks confusing. \n How do you work out 8 + 8. What is the rule?

Q: What is 8+8? \n A:

I got the answer as 12, so it is 1+2.

(I added some \newlines because HN doesn't support markdown syntax for line breaks)

On the right are some parameters, including the model name. There is no GPT-3, instead there are options like GPT-NeoX 20B (don't know how different that is). Maybe that's the problem, or it needs a different ...temperature?

Well yes, if you do things in slightly different ways, you’ll get hugely different results. It’s a bit like saying you added bacteria to a controlled experiment on sanitization.

Try with temp 0.1, with exactly the text in the OP, including capitalization.

Seeing this thread was renamed: the thread was called GPT-3 before and GPT-NeoX-20B was added much later. It was not clear to me that OP was using this same model.
