Source: FranxYao/chain-of-thought-hub: Benchmarking large language models’ complex reasoning ability with chain-of-thought prompting

Summary
Researchers at several universities and AI institutes have compiled a list of complex reasoning tasks, including math, science, symbolic reasoning, knowledge, and coding, to measure the performance of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. They found that GPT-4 is more reliable and creative in handling nuanced instructions than GPT-3.5, indicating that the key differentiator between LLMs is their ability to do complex tasks rather than just “chit-chat.”

Facts

🔬 GPT-4 is more reliable, creative, and better at handling nuanced instructions than GPT-3.5.

🤖 LLMs’ abilities to perform complex tasks, such as math, science, symbolic reasoning, knowledge, and coding, is the key differentiator between them.

🧠 Researchers compiled a list of complex reasoning tasks to measure the performance of LLMs like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.

📉 GPT-4 outperformed GPT-3.5 on the complex reasoning tasks, demonstrating its superior performance on “challenging” tasks.
