AI总结:

本文通过对比GPT-3.5和GPT-4在2023年3月与6月版本在七类任务上的表现,揭示同一LLM服务的行为会随时间显著漂移,并指出GPT-4遵循指令能力下降是共同因素,强调持续监控的必要性。

摘要:

GPT-3.5和GPT-4是两种使用最广泛的大语言模型(LLM)服务。然而,这些模型何时以及如何随时间更新是不透明的。在此,我们评估了GPT-3.5和GPT-4的2023年3月版本和2023年6月版本在多个不同任务上的表现:1)数学问题,2)敏感/危险问题,3)意见调查,4)多跳知识密集型问题,5)生成代码,6)美国医学执照考试,以及7)视觉推理。我们发现,GPT-3.5和GPT-4的性能和行为都可能随时间发生很大变化。例如,GPT-4(2023年3月)在识别质数与合数方面表现合理(84%准确率),但GPT-4(2023年6月)在这些相同问题上表现不佳(51%准确率)。这部分可以解释为GPT-4遵循思维链提示的意愿下降。有趣的是,GPT-3.5在这项任务上6月的表现远好于3月。GPT-4在6月比3月更不愿意回答敏感问题和意见调查问题。GPT-4在6月的多跳问题上表现优于3月,而GPT-3.5在这项任务上的表现有所下降。GPT-4和GPT-3.5在6月的代码生成中都比3月出现了更多的格式错误。我们提供证据表明,GPT-4遵循用户指令的能力随时间下降,这是许多行为漂移背后的一个共同因素。总体而言,我们的研究结果表明,“同一个”LLM服务的行为可以在相对较短的时间内发生实质性变化,这凸显了对LLM进行持续监控的必要性。

英文摘要:

GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 are the two most widely used large language model (LLM) services. However, when and how these models are updated over time is opaque. Here, we evaluate the March 2023 and June 2023 versions of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 on several diverse tasks: 1) math problems, 2) sensitive/dangerous questions, 3) opinion surveys, 4) multi-hop knowledge-intensive questions, 5) generating code, 6) US Medical License tests, and 7) visual reasoning. We find that the performance and behavior of both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 can vary greatly over time. For example, GPT-4 (March 2023) was reasonable at identifying prime vs. composite numbers (84% accuracy) but GPT-4 (June 2023) was poor on these same questions (51% accuracy). This is partly explained by a drop in GPT-4's amenity to follow chain-of-thought prompting. Interestingly, GPT-3.5 was much better in June than in March in this task. GPT-4 became less willing to answer sensitive questions and opinion survey questions in June than in March. GPT-4 performed better at multi-hop questions in June than in March, while GPT-3.5's performance dropped on this task. Both GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 had more formatting mistakes in code generation in June than in March. We provide evidence that GPT-4's ability to follow user instructions has decreased over time, which is one common factor behind the many behavior drifts. Overall, our findings show that the behavior of the "same" LLM service can change substantially in a relatively short amount of time, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring of LLMs.
