OpenAI: GPT-3.5 Turbo 16k (older v1106)

The OpenAI GPT-3.5 Turbo 16k (older v1106) model, created on November 5, 2023, demonstrates exceptional speed, consistently ranking among the fastest models available. While specific pricing data is unavailable, suggesting potential free tier usage, its reliability is a significant strength, achieving a perfect 100th percentile in providing usable responses without technical failures. This model boasts improved instruction following, JSON mode, reproducible outputs, and parallel function calling, with training data up to September 2021. However, a critical weakness is evident in its reasoning capabilities. The model scored 0.0% accuracy on the "Reasoning (Baseline)" benchmark, which assesses complex multi-step problem-solving across various logical and mathematical domains. Despite a relatively quick duration of 74071ms for this benchmark, the complete lack of correct answers indicates a significant limitation in its ability to perform complex analytical and synthetic tasks. Its strengths lie in its technical stability and rapid response times, making it suitable for applications where speed and consistent output delivery are paramount, but not for tasks requiring advanced reasoning or accurate problem-solving.
