I’m not too surprised, they’re probably downgrading the publicly available version of ChatGPT because of how expensive it is to run. Math was never its strong suit, but it could do it with enough resources. Without those resources, it’s essentially guessing random numbers.
from what i understand, the big change in chat-gpt4 was that the model could “ask for help” from other tools: for maths, it knew it was a maths problem, transformed it to something a specialised calculation app could do, and then passed it off to that other code to do the actual calculation
same thing for a lot of its new features; it was asking specialised software to do the bits it wasn’t good at
Burn money providing a lot for nothing to build brand recognition. Then cut free service before bringing out “premium” that at first works better than the original.
Until a bunch of people starting paying and the resources aren’t scaled up to match.

Chat GPT will just become a front end for Wolfram Alpha?
that would actually be great
Yep.
Standard VC bullshit.
