GPT-3 175B
READER SUMMARYOpenAI's 175-billion-parameter autoregressive language model, demonstrating broad zero-shot, one-shot, and few-shot task adaptation and later deployed through a controlled API.
Why this model scores 43.2
GPT-3 was a major historical jump in broad language capability and adaptable text generation, with practical API deployment and meaningful misinformation, bias, and scalable-content risks. Centralized private-beta access and limited independent action constrained autonomy and control difficulty.
News tied to GPT-3 175B
The model score of 43.2 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 60.7 measures the recalibrated complete evidence corpus. These values answer different questions.
Each article's leave-one-out Doom Index contribution is divided equally among the exact models named on that article. This prevents multi-model evidence from being claimed in full on several model pages. Model risk scores are recalculated from their technical profile and related news, but never feed back into the overall index.
Microsoft obtains an exclusive license to OpenAI's GPT-3
Microsoft announced an exclusive license to OpenAI's 175-billion-parameter GPT-3 language model, while OpenAI continued offering its public API. The agreement concentrated privileged commercialization rights and deepened the companies' frontier-model partnership.

GPT-3 demonstrates broad few-shot learning at 175 billion parameters
OpenAI's original GPT-3 paper reported a 175-billion-parameter autoregressive language model that performed many tasks from instructions or a few examples without gradient updates, while also documenting weaknesses, bias, and human difficulty distinguishing some generated news. OpenAI separately deployed GPT-3-family weights through a controlled private-beta API on June 11.
