OpenAI’s new “CriticGPT” model is trained to criticize GPT-4 outputs

OpenAI has introduced CriticGPT, an AI model designed to detect errors in code generated by ChatGPT. The model aims to improve the alignment of AI systems with human expectations by employing Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). CriticGPT, based on the GPT-4 family of large language models (LLMs), assists human reviewers by identifying coding mistakes in the output. The researchers trained CriticGPT on a dataset of intentionally bugged code to teach it how to recognize and flag different errors. According to experiments, CriticGPT's critiques were preferred by trainers over human critiques in 63% of cases involving LLM errors.

OpenAI releases former staffers from non-disparagement clauses

OpenAI will release former employees from nondisparagement agreements and will not cancel vested equity for those who speak out about the company, according to a message sent to former employees. This change comes after concerns were raised about restrictions placed on employees. OpenAI had asked some employees to sign nondisparagement agreements tied to their shares, which could have led to equity being revoked if employees spoke negatively about the company. OpenAI will remove this language from exit paperwork and release former employees from nondisparagement agreements, unless the agreement was mutual.
