OpenAI to fix GPT-5 issues, double rate limits for paid users after outrage

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-31 08:23:43

OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, overpromised on GPT-5, and real-life results are underwhelming, but it looks like a new update is rolling out that might address some of the concerns. GPT-5 is a state-of-the-art model. In our tests, BleepingComputer found that GPT-5 does really well in coding. It was significantly faster than the other OpenAI models, including o3. However, GPT-5 struggles to be 'creative' in writing, and it also often fails to switch to its new reasoning capabilities when users expec

Apple taught an LLM to predict tokens up to 5x faster in math and coding tasks

A new research paper from Apple details a technique that speeds up large language model responses, while preserving output quality. Here are the details. The nerdy bits Traditionally, LLMs generate text one token at a time. This is slow because each step depends on all the previous ones to keep the output coherent and accurate.

How attention sinks keep language models stable

news.ycombinator.com Guangxuan Xiao 2025-12-31 16:53:10

We discovered why language models catastrophically fail on long conversations: when old tokens are removed to save memory, models produce complete gibberish. We found models dump massive attention onto the first few tokens as "attention sinks"—places to park unused attention since softmax requires weights to sum to 1. Our solution, StreamingLLM, simply keeps these first 4 tokens permanently while sliding the window for everything else, enabling stable processing of 4 million+ tokens instead of j
