In my day job we use GPT4 quite a bit and we shifted to GPT4 Turbo today. We got a 2-5% performance increase, and quite a bit of speed increase as well.

Not to say that the parent post is incorrect, of course. Only that its not as cut and dry as a "GPT4 Turbo is distilled (read: watered down) GPT4".

Interesting. What do you use it for?

Currently only for unstructured (OCR) text to structured text conversion.

We're transitioning from a legacy codebase full of regexes and undocumented functions that are understood only by the developer and god. The developers left and I don't believe in god. We tried throwing the unstructed mess to GPT, alongwith a few examples and got surprisingly good results.

You replaced it with the system that is even worse than "undocumented functions that are understood only by the developer and god" by design. It's not even deterministic.

Oh yeah. One hundred percent true :D It just happens to be significantly better both in terms of precision and recall than the former solution.
