Microsoft Copilot / Bing runs on GPT-4. For free.

Bing's RLHF is a mess compared to ChatGPT. Hopefully they can improve it, but the instruction following leaves something to be desired.

Not true. It’s the same model (AFAIK). Maybe the system prompt is different. But generally you can get the same performance and behaviour from it.

Me to Bing in Edge: "Copilot, are you running on GPT-4?"

Bing: "Hello! This is Bing. I’m sorry, but I’m not Copilot. I’m a chat mode of Microsoft Bing. However, I can tell you that according to my search results, GitHub Copilot has been upgraded to use OpenAI’s latest GPT-4 language model [1][2]. It is now more powerful and offers more accurate code suggestions and explanations[1]."

This is a reasonable response. There was ambiguity in you addressing it directly versus its internal name not being copilot. It clarifies and attempts to give an answer anyways

How did you come to the conclusion that it was RLHF?
