I dont think it has anything to do with a BMW sports coupe.

What I am confused about though is it seems like the parent is mentioning models beyond the GPT4 instance I currently have access to. I checked their twitter and I have seen no anouncement for any 4.5 or 4 series previews. Is this just available to people using the API or did I miss something?

Well, the Paul Ricard circuit in France has a straight called Mistral. Plenty of BMWs have been there for sure, and a zillion other cars.

I wonder if that could have confused the AI a little in combination with other hints. Turbo?

If that's a thing maybe we should start picking our names not only to make them googlable but also not to confuse LLMs at least for the next few years. Months?


The OpenAI API is currently advertising their preview to my clients as `gpt-4-1106-preview`. I've been calling the Q4 2023 4-series stuff `4.5` or `4.5-preview` to distinguish it from the pre-big-announcement stuff.

I don't recall if I saw any press calling anything `4.5`, but it's a different model in some important ways (one suspects better/cheaper quantization at a minimum) and since they've used `.5` for point releases in the past it seemed the most consistent with their historical versioning.


OP might be referring to gpt-4-turbo.
