TII's 180B model trained on curated RefinedWeb data.

Unique: Encodes 3.5 trillion tokens of meticulously-cleaned RefinedWeb data directly into 180B parameters, enabling parameter-efficient knowledge storage without external vector databases or retrieval systems, but sacrificing source attribution and update-ability compared to RAG approaches.

vs others: Faster knowledge retrieval than RAG systems (no embedding/retrieval latency) and larger knowledge capacity than smaller models, but lacks source attribution, cannot be updated without retraining, and provides no confidence scores compared to retrieval-augmented systems that can cite sources.

Announcement of GPT-4, a large multimodal model. OpenAI blog, March 14, 2023.

Unique: Larger model scale and improved training data curation enable more accurate factual knowledge synthesis compared to GPT-3.5, with better handling of multi-domain questions. However, still relies on training data without real-time knowledge access, making it fundamentally subject to hallucination and knowledge cutoff.

vs others: More accurate factual answers than GPT-3.5 on general knowledge benchmarks, but underperforms search engines and knowledge bases for current events and recent information. Hallucination risk is higher than retrieval-augmented systems that ground answers in external sources.
