Show HN: Compare new OpenAI model vs. old on HN Summaries

4 pointsby wskishabout 2 years ago
The new OpenAI "gpt-3.5-turbo" model is cheap but how does it perform? Check out its summarization style compared to the 10x more expensive "text-davinci-003" model on summaries of Hacker News stories.

Are these the only prompts used with the models:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jiggy-ai&#x2F;hn_summary&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;src&#x2F;summarize.py">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jiggy-ai&#x2F;hn_summary&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;src&#x2F;summa...</a><p>Also, how did you decide on those specific prompts?<p>Lastly, is it accurate that the text being summarized is truncated instead of for example streaming it in chunks to create a summary of summaries for longer text. If so, why even process the articles that require truncation?

This is with no prompt change except for putting the entire previous prompt into a single &quot;user&quot; role message.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that the quality is the same or better.<p>And it is so much faster as well!
