OpenAI: GPT-3.5 Turbo (older v0613)

OpenAI's GPT-3.5 Turbo (v0613), created on Jan 24, 2024, and trained on data up to Sep 2021, consistently ranks among the fastest models available, demonstrating exceptional speed across various benchmarks. It offers moderate pricing, positioning it as a reasonably competitive option in terms of cost. The model exhibits outstanding reliability, achieving a 100% success rate across all benchmarks, indicating minimal technical failures and consistent response delivery. In terms of performance across categories, GPT-3.5 Turbo shows a significant disparity. While it achieved a strong 97.0% accuracy in Email Classification, placing it in the 45th percentile, its performance in Instruction Following was moderate at 49.0% accuracy (47th percentile). A notable weakness is its 0.0% accuracy in the General Knowledge (Baseline) test, suggesting a complete inability to answer questions in this domain, which is unusual and warrants further investigation. Its key strengths lie in its speed, reliability, and effective classification capabilities. However, its inability to perform on general knowledge tasks is a critical limitation.
