First, here is the paper this news is based on. Read it so you get a feel for the nuanced findings. You know, do the hard thing we accuse students of not doing.

Nice thing about this figure is unlike benchmarks on factuality or hallucinates eg FACTscore we dont know if the test questions reflected real world use. OpenAI basically gave us the stat we were wondering about (2) More info from system card cdn.openai.com/pdf/8124a3ce...
