It's possible they temporarily removed it because it broke the whole anonymised part of that. It literally had information about itself in its system prompt and people could deduce it was running on an OAI API because of its API error response formatting. Either OAI collected all the data they need or it'll be back with some changes.


Maybe they detected too many people were trying to extract training data from it. The purpose was clearly hype to squash any llama3 400B hype, I'm quite sure they don't need anonymous votes from users when they can afford other ways. Like someone else said in the thread, it could also be hype management to stop delicate people from being so freaked by novel capabilities on release.


They rate limited it at some point later in the day. The rate limiting applied to all the other OpenAI models also, but none of the non-OpenAI models. Just another data point of validation.


Yeah it's also possible they temporarily took it down because of the flood of users that were slowing down the whole site for everyone. Potential for it to be back but the rate limits are really low, something like 2 queries per user per day


Sorry, should have clarified. The part of the site that states the model is currently unavailable links to their evaluation policies which is the link used for this submission :)
