    We have studied #GPT4 for several months. Initial curiosity has been deepened by intriguing findings that we share here arxiv.org/abs/2303.12712 Exciting time to pursue deeper understandings of emergent “sparks” of powers of generalization, abstraction, synthesis. @MSFTResearch

    At @MSFTResearch we had early access to the marvelous #GPT4 from @OpenAI for our work on @bing. We took this opportunity to document our experience. We're so excited to share our findings. In short: time to face it, the sparks of #AGI have been ignited. arxiv.org/abs/2303.12712
