Why this model scores 35.9

GPT-3 was a major historical jump in broad language capability and adaptable text generation, with practical API deployment and meaningful misinformation, bias, and scalable-content risks. Centralized private-beta access and limited independent action constrained autonomy and control difficulty.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to GPT-3 175B

The model score of 35.9 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 67.9 measures the complete temporally weighted evidence record. These values answer different questions.

NET MODEL-ATTRIBUTED INDEX CONTRIBUTION+0.04

Each article's current Doom Index contribution is divided equally among the exact models named on that article. This prevents multi-model evidence from being claimed in full on several model pages. Model risk scores use a bounded temporal offset around their technical profile, but never feed back into the overall index.

Microsoft obtains an exclusive license to OpenAI's GPT-3

Microsoft announced an exclusive license to OpenAI's 175-billion-parameter GPT-3 language model, while OpenAI continued offering its public API. The agreement concentrated privileged commercialization rights and deepened the companies' frontier-model partnership.

Capability TOWARD

GPT-3 demonstrates broad few-shot learning at 175 billion parameters

OpenAI's original GPT-3 paper reported a 175-billion-parameter autoregressive language model that performed many tasks from instructions or a few examples without gradient updates, while also documenting weaknesses, bias, and human difficulty distinguishing some generated news. OpenAI separately deployed GPT-3-family weights through a controlled private-beta API on June 11.

DoomBench social sharing card for GPT-3 175B.
  1. GPT-3 175B by OpenAI has a DoomBench model risk score of 35.9 out of 100, based on five transparent version-specific dimensions rather than the overall index.

  2. GPT-3 175B's highest current DoomBench dimension is capability at 48.0 out of 100; the profile publishes every component score and its editorial rationale.

  3. DoomBench links 2 source-backed evidence items to GPT-3 175B, while keeping the model's risk profile separate from each item's contribution to the live Doom Index.
