Hey folks, I just wanted to know your opinions on this regard. In my experience, the first two days of playing around with ChatGPT API were amazing. But since then, I’ve observed a significant degradation. It’s not only my own perception: it is reflected in some customer kpis that I monitor. My two…

I’ve seen a bunch of posts since as early as January about the API and the Playground returning different results (and experienced this myself, frustrating). AFAIK no one has been able to explain or resolve the differences. The API seems more generic and less “in-character” (stuck in “helpful assist…

It’s all about the prompt. I think my “grumpy, experienced Dungeon Master” did well… [AI DM with GPT-4 via ChatGPT: Dungeons and Dragons is About to Change Forever...]

Until recently, the http request to the playground was the exact same as any other request. Now it looks like Davinci is called using a different endpoint, but ChatCompletions is the same (besides a different authorization key) You can view it in the network tab. It’s not made by the server, it’s m…

Interesting! Davinci was the one that was behaving strangely. I don’t think it would be incorrect formatting or wrong parameters in my case; I just copy/pasted the code it generates for my requests.

I’m with you on the difference between playground and API. Its very frustrating to use the same variables, same system message, same prompt, and get completely different results on the API versus the playground. And gpt-turbo API will leave the role and switch speakers WAY easier than the playgrou…

[image] RonaldGRuckus: @ruby_coder your definitions are wrong. It’s as simple as that. Hi @RonaldGRuckus You may have not noticed, but this is a community for software developers who actually write software using the OpenAI API. I have read many of your posts and they are well written, wel…

I understand your viewpoint. I am not a novice coder. I’m not going to display my trophies in a way to persuade you. There’s absolutely no way that what I’ve discussed has shown the opposite. I’m proficient in many languages, and am very passionate in what I do. How you feel about me is perfectly …

[image] RonaldGRuckus: Playground models are the exact same models that we use. Yes that is not what I said. I said clearly many times that the playground has user session management dialog management and perhaps additional moderation filtering code before the prompts every see the model. T…

It does not have dialog management. It outputs the raw response from the model. The user session is stored locally. And yes, it goes through a moderation endpoint, just like any other. There is no “perhaps” if you just bothered to look at the network logs. You are just assuming the API (which is…

Of course there is dialog management. That is why you can maintain a dialog in the playground. Without dialog management there would be no conversation like we see in the playground. Maybe you are lumping dialog management into user session management? Because when we code this, which you have a…
