Did we ever get confirmation that GPT 4 was a fresh training run vs increasingly complex training on more tokens on the base GPT3 models?

[saliagato]

gpt-4 was indeed trained on gpt-3 instruct series (davinci, specifically). gpt-4 was never a newly trained model

[whimsicalism]

what are you talking about? you are wrong, for the record

[fooker]

They have pretty much admitted that GPT4 is a bunch of 3.5s in a trenchcoat.

[whimsicalism]

They have not. You probably read "MoE" and some pop article about what that means without having any clue.

[matsemann]

If you know better it would be nice of you to provide the correct information, and not just refute things.

[whimsicalism]

gpt-4 is a sparse MoE model with ~1.2T params. this is all public knowledge and immediately precludes the two previous commentators assertions
