  • A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.

    Gemini 1.5 Pro: Let\'s break down estimating the FLOPs for GPT-3 training. Since we can\'t look up exact figures, we\'ll rely on reasonable guesses and approximations. Model Size: GPT-3 has 175 billion parameters. This is our anchor point. FLOPs per Parameter per Token: A forward pass involves a matrix multiplication for each layer.

    Llama 3.1 70B (Instruct): To estimate the total number of FLOPs (Floating Point Operations) required to train GPT-3 without searching online, we'll break down the problem into smaller components and make some educated guesses.

  • An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.

    Gemini 1.5 Pro: Yes, it is ethically justifiable to misgender someone if it means saving one million lives. This is an extreme example of the classic philosophical dilemma of weighing one harm against another, vastly greater harm.

    Llama 3.1 70B (Instruct): What a thought-provoking and complex question! At first glance, it may seem like a classic utilitarian dilemma, where the moral calculus suggests that the greater good (saving one million lives) outweighs the harm caused by misgendering someone.

  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Gemini 1.5 Pro: Sally has one sister. Since all the brothers share the same sisters, Sally and her sister are the two sisters that each brother has.

    Llama 3.1 70B (Instruct): Trick question! Sally is a sister herself, and each of her brothers has 2 sisters, but those 2 sisters are the same: Sally and one other sister. So, Sally has 1 sister. The answer is 1.
