Seeing the AI ​​destroy every one of the world's best competitive programmers was impressive, yet at the same time, frightening.

I don't know for sure what to expect from the future.

Thanks for the blog Few questions that linger in my mind : 1. Was ChatGPT allowed to solve mutliple problems at parallel or was it one problem at a time ? 2. What was the estimated token cost of the thinking and writing done by ChatGPT throughout the questions ? Also It'd be interested in seeing what the initial prompt for ChatGPT was.

    These thinks are likely not going to be revealed, but I would expect that it was at least a lot "expensive" to solve all those problems running a model (certainly a powerful model) for that amount of hours, specially when you consider the default usage of AI in development.

    You can watch qwerty787788's interview to see answers to some of those questions, starting from this moment in the broadcast.

      Well, I got most of my answers, but his answer to token usage was vague 'not too much' & 'you can pay for it from your own pocket' But I'd doubt that.
