Timeline

  1. 2020

    GPT-3 wins an Outstanding Paper award

    In 2020, he coauthors GPT-3, a 175-billion-parameter language model tested in a few-shot setting; NeurIPS gives the paper an Outstanding Paper award.

  2. 2021

    A learned neural-network optimizer

    In 2021, he coauthors a learned optimizer that updates optimizer hyperparameters and outperforms Adam on neural-network tasks.

  3. 2021

    Code generation with Codex

    In 2021, he coauthors the Codex study, which evaluates a GPT language model fine-tuned on public GitHub code for Python programming.

  4. 2023

    The GPT-4 technical report

    In 2023, he coauthors the GPT-4 technical report, which describes a multimodal model that accepts image and text inputs and produces text outputs.

  5. 2024

    A GPT-4o safety card

    In 2024, he coauthors the GPT-4o System Card, which describes the model's multimodal inputs and outputs and its safety evaluations.
