I don’t put much stock in the claims about GPT4 “passing” professional exams. Many copies of previously administered exams are available, and the exams are formulaic in their construction (to make them stable, predictable targets).

A compressive copy of the internet brute-forcing its way through an exam (which it may even have digested already) is really not interpretable as performing well on the exam. It’s a meaningless measure because the tests were not designed with this use in mind.
