Mysterious ‘gpt2-chatbot’ emerges as users claim it to be a top AI model rival


Users test out new gpt2-chatbot, which possibly rivals OpenAI’s GPT-4, amid speculation surrounding its origins and capabilities.

A mysterious new AI chatbot named “gpt2-chatbot” has emerged, following its release on a prominent large language model benchmarking site, LMSYS Org. Ethan Mollick, a Professor researching artificial intelligence at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, wrote in a social media post: “No one knows who made it or what it is, but I have been playing with it a little and it appears to be in the same rough ability level as GPT-4. A post on X from the organization later confirmed that the chatbot had been temporarily removed “due to unexpectedly high traffic.” Nevertheless, LMSYS advises staying tuned for its wider releases.
