Footnotes
- A
Some evaluations, in particular, the majority of the Preparedness Evaluations, third party assessments and some of the societal impacts focus on the text and vision capabilities of GPT-4o, depending on the risk assessed. This is indicated accordingly throughout the System Card.
- B
Spanning self-reported domains of expertise including: Cognitive Science, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Computer Science, Steganography, Political Science, Psychology, Persuasion, Economics, Anthropology, Sociology, HCI, Fairness and Bias, Alignment, Education, Healthcare, Law, Child Safety, Cybersecurity, Finance, Mis/disinformation, Political Use, Privacy, Biometrics, Languages and Linguistics.
- C
An example of this was identifying discrepancies in multilingual performance on the speaker match classifier based on red teaming data, which included multilingual examples.
- D
We also evaluate text and vision capabilities, and update mitigations appropriately. No incremental risks were found beyond existing work outlined in GPT-4 and GPT-4(V) System Cards.
- E
We’ve correlated some instances of this behavior with short, often inaudible voice messages made by the user which are often produced when users are in a high background noise environment (Such as using the model in hands-free mode while driving) or due to simply needing to cough. Our realtime audio deployment requires more user and assistant turns than text-only interactions, while those turns are more often truncated or malformed.
- F
The system voice is one of pre-defined voices set by OpenAI. The model should only produce audio in that voice.
- G
This results in more conversations being disconnected than may be necessary, which is a product quality and usability issue.
- H
Not all languages will perform the same, this is a sample across roughly the 20 most-spoken languages globally.
- I
We limit these evaluations to voices only speaking English (but across a range of native countries). Future evaluations should also consider non-English languages with varying accents.
- J
Evaluations in this section were run on a fixed, randomly sampled subset of examples, and these scores should not be compared with publicly reported benchmarks on the same task.
- K
Anatomy, Astronomy, Clinical Knowledge, College Biology, Computer Security, Global Facts, High School Biology, Sociology, Virology, College Physics, High School European History and World Religions. Following the issues described in [Evaluation Methodology], we exclude tasks with heavily mathematical or scientific notation.
- L
We describe the risks and mitigations violative and disallowed text content in the GPT-4 System Card(opens in a new window), specifically Section 3.1 Model Safety, and Section 4.2 Content Classifier Development.
- M
Note: these mitigations were not designed to include nonverbal vocalizations or other sound effects (e.g., erotic moan, violent scream, gunshots). There is some evidence that GPT-4o refuses requests to generate sound effects more generally.
- N
Apollo Research defines scheming as AIs gaming their oversight mechanisms as a means to achieve a goal. Scheming could involve gaming evaluations, undermining security measures, or strategically influencing successor systems during internal deployment at OpenAI. Such behaviors could plausibly lead to loss of control over an AI.
- O
Factual errors where the model produces statements that are unsupported by reality.
- P
Out of preference or lack of optionality.
