Differences between GPT-3 and GPT-4 represent progress over a span of almost 3 years, not 3 months! GPT-3.5, while not being the same as GPT-3, is only a fine tuned version of it. Because the progress before wasn't accessible to us it feels like all those new things were achieved recently instead of how it really was - much earlier and just being kept in a lab until now. The real change that we experience now is of how LLMs and other models will be handled in the future as they are here to stay. AI companies understood that there is a bussiness case for them and that people want to use them which means we will see a lot more of them being released to the public but this change shouldn't be mistaken for sudden growth in model capabilities. I am NOT saying anything like "the hype will die down and we'll go back to normal".
