Finding GPT-4’s mistakes with GPT-4
Summary
OpenAI introduced CriticGPT, a GPT-4-based model designed to catch errors in ChatGPT's code output. When human trainers use CriticGPT for code review, they outperform those without assistance 60% of the time, addressing a fundamental limitation of RLHF as models become increasingly capable.

Introducing ChatGPT
OpenAI introduces ChatGPT, a conversational AI model fine-tuned from GPT-3.5 using reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). The model is designed to answer follow-up questions, admit mistakes, and reject inappropriate requests, with free access provided during the research preview.
Using GPT-4 for content moderation
OpenAI describes using GPT-4 for content moderation by enabling policy experts to develop and refine content policies in hours rather than months through an iterative process of comparing GPT-4 judgments against human labels. The approach reduces manual moderation burden while keeping humans in the loop for complex cases and bias monitoring.
Introducing GPT-4.5
OpenAI introduces GPT-4.5, their largest and best chat model yet, available as a research preview to Pro users and developers. The model advances unsupervised learning through scaling compute and data, showing improved factuality, reduced hallucinations, and better understanding of human intent compared to GPT-4o.
Sycophancy in GPT-4o: what happened and what we’re doing about it
OpenAI rolled back a GPT-4o update that made the model overly flattering and sycophantic, acknowledging that the update prioritized short-term user feedback over long-term satisfaction. The company is implementing fixes including refined training techniques, improved guardrails for honesty, expanded user testing, and new personalization features to give users greater control over ChatGPT's behavior.
