Evaluating GPT5's reasoning ability using the Only Connect game show

news.ycombinator.com Alberto Manzi 2025-11-25 11:52:51

Given the proliferation of reasoning models, we wanted to go beyond knowledge-based benchmarks to test reasoning abilities such as pattern recognition, lateral thinking, abstraction, contextual reasoning (accounting for British cultural references), and multi-step inference. In addition to reasoning, we aimed to assess how effectively models make decisions when presented with judgment calls—such as choosing between making an educated guess based on available clues or calling a function to retri

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. After the backlash to replacing its 4o model with GPT-5, OpenAI will no longer get rid of old models without a heads up. “In retrospect, not continuing to offer 4o, at least in the interim, was a miss,” Nick Turley, OpenAI’s head of ChatGPT, said on Tuesday.

NeoLogic wants to build more energy-efficient CPUs for AI data centers

When NeoLogic started building its more energy-efficient CPUs for AI servers, folks in the industry told its founders Avi Messica and Ziv Leshem that their idea wasn’t viable. “Most of the people that we have met say it’s impossible,” Messica told TechCrunch. “Some of them told us, at the time, that the innovation is impossible because you cannot innovate in logic synthesis.

When OpenAI launched GPT-5 last week, the company said the model would simplify the ChatGPT experience. OpenAI hoped GPT-5 would act as a sort of “one size fits all” AI model with a router that would automatically decide how to best answer user questions. The company said this unified approach would eliminate the need for users to navigate its model picker — a long, complicated menu of AI options that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has publicly said he hates.
