This market resolves YES if credible reporting on GPT-4's parameter count is available by 11:59 PM EST on March 31, 2023. Credible reporting must be corroborated by OpenAI, and the reported parameter count must have at least 2 significant digits.
This market will resolve YES immediately after the above conditions are met. If they are not met at any point by the expiration date, this market resolves NO.

3.00If this market resolves NO, I will make another market with a later expiration date (tentatively May 31st). Any feedback on the rules I used here? In particular, I would like to hear what people think about the "2 significant digits" constraint. I'm wondering if I should reduce this to 1 or maybe go with another formulation.
@firstuserhere That tells me the answer is "a small enough number that it wouldn't sound impressive enough to be good PR"
@jonsimon or maybe so small that it would be impressive, but they don't want to give away any tricks they've come up with for making small models more capable
@jonsimon But people are dumb so all they would heard is "OpenAI's model isn't the biggest" and therefore assume it must not be the bestest
"The latest language model, GPT-4, has 1 trillion parameters."

We have the credible reporting part: "Semafor spoke to eight people familiar with the inside story, and is revealing the details here for the first time."
They explicitly said in the paper, "Given both the competitive landscape and the safety implications of large-scale models like GPT-4, this report contains no further details about the architecture (including model size), hardware, training compute, dataset construction, training method, or similar." So if I understand the market correctly, this would require them to go back on that statement. Model size seems basically synonymous with parameter count here. https://cdn.openai.com/papers/gpt-4.pdf
