GPT-4 Fine-tuning Limitations and Knowledge Cutoff Issues
By
–
all that being said, there is an interesting caveat since GPT-4 has been fine-tuned and is still receiving fine-tuned training on user input and feedback this definitely allows for a change in some of the data but in general, it's safe to assume GPT-4 is still stuck in 2021

API Usage Nuances: Chat vs. Completion and System Prompt Authority

Old completions API. But mostly I’m saying using the chat API shouldn’t be like using ChatGPT — the developer isn’t the end user. System prompt should have authority if it’s not asking for something policy-breaking.
