I find it somewhat interesting that there is a common perception about GPT-4 at release being actually smart, but that it got gradually nerfed for speed with turbo, which is better tuned but doesn't exhibit intelligence like the original.
There were times when I felt that too, but nowadays I predominantly use turbo. It's probably because turbo is faster and cheaper, but in lmsys turbo has 100 elo higher than original, so by and large people simply find turbo to be....better?
Nevertheless, I do wonder if not just in benchmarks but in how people use LLMs, intelligence is somewhat under utilised, or possibly offset by other qualities.
