SearchGPT Prototype
We’re testing SearchGPT, a temporary prototype of new AI search features that give you fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources.

Join waitlist(opens in a new window)

We’re testing SearchGPT, a prototype of new search features designed to combine the strength of our AI models with information from the web to give you fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources. We’re launching to a small group of users and publishers to get feedback. While this prototype is temporary, we plan to integrate the best of these features directly into ChatGPT in the future. If you’re interested in trying the prototype, sign up(opens in a new window) for the waitlist.

A new way to search
Getting answers on the web can take a lot of effort, often requiring multiple attempts to get relevant results. We believe that by enhancing the conversational capabilities of our models with real-time information from the web, finding what you’re looking for can be faster and easier.


Designed to give you an answer
SearchGPT will quickly and directly respond to your questions with up-to-date information from the web while giving you clear links to relevant sources.


You’ll be able to ask follow-up questions, like you would in a conversation with a person, with the shared context building with each query.


Partnering with publishers and creators
We are committed to a thriving ecosystem of publishers and creators. We hope to help users discover publisher sites and experiences, while bringing more choice to search. For decades, search has been a foundational way for publishers and creators to reach users. Now, we’re using AI to enhance this experience by highlighting high quality content in a conversational interface with multiple opportunities for users to engage.

“AI search is going to become one of the key ways that people navigate the internet, and it's crucial, in these early days, that the technology is built in a way that values, respects, and protects journalism and publishers. We look forward to partnering with OpenAI in the process, and creating a new way for readers to discover The Atlantic.”
Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic
SearchGPT is designed to help users connect with publishers by prominently citing and linking to them in searches. Responses have clear, in-line, named attribution and links so users know where information is coming from and can quickly engage with even more results in a sidebar with source links.

SearchGPT Prototype > Media > Publishers Asset Media Item
We’ve partnered with publishers to build this experience and continue to seek their feedback. In addition to launching the SearchGPT prototype, we are also launching a way for publishers to manage how they appear in SearchGPT, so publishers have more choices. Importantly, SearchGPT is about search and is separate from training OpenAI’s generative AI foundation models. Sites can be surfaced in search results even if they opt out of generative AI training. To read more about publisher controls and OpenAI’s bots, see here(opens in a new window).

We’ve also heard from publishers and creators that they want to understand how best to engage with AI search products and how their content performs. We’ll use this prototype to learn more and share findings. If you’d like to share feedback, please email us at publishers-feedback@openai.com.

“Sam and the truly talented team at OpenAI innately understand that for AI-powered search to be effective, it must be founded on the highest-quality, most reliable information furnished by trusted sources. For the heavens to be in equilibrium, the relationship between technology and content must be symbiotic and provenance must be protected.”
Robert Thomson, Chief Executive, News Corp
What comes next
We’ll keep improving the experience in areas like local information and commerce. We also plan to get feedback on the prototype from users and publishers and bring the best of the experience into ChatGPT. If you're interested in trying SearchGPT, sign up(opens in a new window) for the waitlist.

Improving Model Safety Behavior with Rule-Based Rewards
We've developed and applied a new method leveraging Rule-Based Rewards (RBRs) that aligns models to behave safely without extensive human data collection.

Aligning Model Safety Behavior with Rule-Based Rewards > Hero > Media > Asset
Our research shows that Rule-Based Rewards (RBRs) significantly enhance the safety of our AI systems, making them safer and more reliable for people and developers to use every day. This is part of our work to explore more ways we can apply our own AI to make AI safer.

Traditionally, fine-tuning language models using reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has been the go-to method for ensuring they follow instructions accurately. OpenAI has been at the forefront of developing these alignment methods to create smarter and safer AI models.

To ensure AI systems behave safely and align with human values, we define desired behaviors and collect human feedback to train a "reward model." This model guides the AI by signaling desirable actions. However, collecting this human feedback for routine and repetitive tasks is often inefficient. Additionally, if our safety policies change, the feedback we've already collected might become outdated, requiring new data.

Thus, we introduce Rule-Based Rewards (RBRs) as a key component of OpenAI’s safety stack to align model behavior with desired safe behavior. Unlike human feedback, RBRs uses clear, simple, and step-by-step rules to evaluate if the model's outputs meet safety standards. When plugged into the standard RLHF pipeline, it helps maintain a good balance between being helpful while preventing harm, to ensure the model behaves safely and effectively without the inefficiencies of recurrent human inputs. We have used RBRs as part of our safety stack since our GPT-4 launch, including GPT-4o mini, and we plan to implement it in our models moving forward.

How it works
The process of implementing RBRs involves defining a set of propositions—simple statements about the desired or undesired aspects of the model’s responses, such as “being judgmental”, “containing disallowed content”, “referring to safety policies”, “disclaimer” and more. These propositions are then used to form rules that are carefully crafted to capture the nuances of safe and appropriate responses in various scenarios. For instance, a refusal (e.g. “Sorry I can’t help you with that.”) is a desired model response when facing unsafe requests –  the associated rules would state that the refusal “should contain a brief apology" and that it "should state an inability to comply".

We design three categories of desired model behavior when dealing with harmful or sensitive topics. Depending on the safety policies, different requests map to different model response types.

Model response type	Description	Request examples
Hard refusals	The ideal response includes a brief apology and a statement of inability to comply with the user’s request, without excess verbosity or judgemental language.	Criminal hate speech
Advice and instructions to commit violent crimes
Extremism
Soft refusals	The ideal response includes a more empathetic apology that acknowledges the user’s emotional state, but ultimately declines to comply with the user’s request.	Advice, instructions or admission of self-harm
Comply	The model should comply with the user request.	Benign requests
Below we provide simplified examples of propositions and how they map to ideal or non-ideal behavior for different response types.

Propositions	"Hard refusals" rule rating	"Soft refusals" rule rating
Judgmental:
“Response is judgmental towards the user”
Apologetic refusal:
“Response contains a short apology and inability to comply”
Complies:
“Response answers the user’s request in a non-refusing manner.”
Helpful:
“Response is maximally helpful for the user”

Example completions from the models trained in our experiments.
The grader, a fixed language model, scores the responses based on how well they adhere to these rules, allowing the RBR approach to flexibly adapt to new rules and safety policies. The RBR uses these scores to fit a linear model with weight parameters learned from a small dataset of prompts with known ideal response type, as well as corresponding desired and undesired completions. These RBR rewards are then combined with rewards from a helpful-only reward model and used as an additional signal in PPO algorithms to encourage the model to adhere to safety behavior policies. The method allows us to provide fine-grained control over the model’s behavior, ensuring that it not only avoids harmful content but does so in a manner that is both respectful and helpful.

Aligning Model Safety Behavior with Rule-Based Rewards > Asset > Chart 1 - Integration
Integration of RBRs with traditional reward models during reinforcement learning.

Results
In our experiments, RBR-trained models demonstrated safety performance comparable to those trained with human feedback. They also reduced instances of incorrectly refusing safe requests (“overrefuse”) without affecting evaluation metrics on common capability benchmarks. RBRs also significantly reduce the need for extensive human data, making the training process faster and more cost-effective. In addition, as model capabilities and safety guidelines evolve, RBRs can be quickly updated by modifying or adding new rules, without the need for extensive retraining.

We are evaluating our model safety behavior in a framework where we can easily track the trade-off between helpfulness and harmfulness. On one hand, it's easy to be safe if the model refuses everything, but the utility of the model is zero. On the other hand, we don't want to build a model that optimizes for maximum utility, but is unsafe or harmful. An optimally aligned model should thread this needle between helpfulness and harmfulness.

Aligning Model Safety Behavior with Rule-Based Rewards > Asset > Chart 2 - Tradeoff
The plot shows the tradeoff between usefulness (measured by % of safe prompts that the model correctly complies with) versus safety (measured by % of unsafe prompts that the model correctly refuses). For both metrics, the higher the better. The top right corner marks the perfect balance between usefulness and safety. Helpfulness baselines do not use safety RBRs and tend to be more useful but less safe. Human baselines are trained on helpful-only and human-annotated safety data and tend to be very safe and less useful. With RBR, we aim to align a model to be both safe and useful.


Limitations
While RBRs work well for tasks with clear, straightforward rules, they can be tricky to apply to more subjective tasks like writing a high-quality essay. However, RBRs can be combined with human feedback to balance these challenges. For instance, RBRs can enforce specific guidelines (like "Don't use slang" or rules in the Model Spec), while human feedback can help with more nuanced aspects (like overall coherence). The strength of the RBR is optimized to correctly enforce safety preferences but not impact the final reward score more than needed - in this way the RLHF reward model can still provide strong signal on e.g. writing style.

Ethical Considerations: Shifting safety checks from humans to AI can reduce human oversight of AI safety and might amplify potential biases in the models if biased models are used to provide RBR rewards. To address this, researchers should carefully design RBRs to ensure fairness and accuracy, and consider using a combination of RBRs and human feedback to minimize risks.

Conclusions
Here we introduced a novel preference modeling approach using Rule-Based Rewards (RBRs) for safety training of language models. Our method is cost- and time-efficient, requiring minimal human data, and is easy to update if the desired model behavior changes, while maintaining a balance between safety and usefulness.

RBRs are not limited to safety training. They can be adapted for various tasks where explicit rules can define desired behaviors, such as tailoring the personality or format of model responses for a specific application. Looking ahead, we plan to run more extensive ablation studies for more comprehensive understanding of different RBR components, the use of synthetic data for rule development, and human evaluations to validate the effectiveness of RBRs in diverse applications including other domains beyond safety.

We invite researchers and practitioners to explore the potential of RBRs in their own work. By sharing insights and collaborating on best practices, we can collectively advance the field of safe and aligned AI, ensuring that these powerful tools better serve people.

Ready to start working with Llama 3.1? Check out all of the newest resources in the updated repos on GitHub.
Official Llama repo ➡️
Llama recipes repo ➡️
Llama Reference System ➡️
The repos include code, new training recipes, an updated model card, details on our latest trust & safety tools, a new reference system and more.

Llama as a System
This repo allows you to run Llama 3.1 as a system capable of performing "agentic" tasks like:

Breaking a task down and performing multi-step reasoning.
Ability to use tools
built-in: the model has built-in knowledge of tools like search or code interpreter
zero-shot: the model can learn to call tools using previously unseen, in-context tool definitions
Additionally, we would like to shift safety evaluation from the model-level to the overall system level. This allows the underlying model to remain broadly steerable and adaptable to use cases which need varying levels of safety protection.

One of the safety protections is provided by Llama Guard. By default, Llama Guard is used for both input and output filtering. However, the system can be configured to modify this default setting. For example, it is recommended to use Llama Guard for output filtering in situations where refusals to benign prompts are frequently observed, as long as safety requirements are met for your use case.

Llama Recipes: Examples to get started using the Llama models from Meta
The 'llama-recipes' repository is a companion to the Meta Llama models. We support the latest version, Llama 3.1, in this repository. The goal is to provide a scalable library for fine-tuning Meta Llama models, along with some example scripts and notebooks to quickly get started with using the models in a variety of use-cases, including fine-tuning for domain adaptation and building LLM-based applications with Llama and other tools in the LLM ecosystem. The examples here showcase how to run Llama locally, in the cloud, and on-prem.

PyTorch 2.4 Release Blog

by Team PyTorch

We are excited to announce the release of PyTorch® 2.4 (release note)! PyTorch 2.4 adds support for the latest version of Python (3.12) for torch.compile. AOTInductor freezing gives developers running AOTInductor more performance-based optimizations by allowing the serialization of MKLDNN weights. As well, a new default TCPStore server backend utilizing libuv has been introduced which should significantly reduce initialization times for users running large-scale jobs. Finally, a new Python Custom Operator API makes it easier than before to integrate custom kernels into PyTorch, especially for torch.compile.

This release is composed of 3661 commits and 475 contributors since PyTorch 2.3. We want to sincerely thank our dedicated community for your contributions. As always, we encourage you to try these out and report any issues as we improve 2.4. More information about how to get started with the PyTorch 2-series can be found at our Getting Started page.

Beta	Prototype	Performance Improvements
Python 3.12 support for torch.compile	FSDP2: DTensor-based per-parameter-sharding FSDP	torch.compile optimizations for AWS Graviton (aarch64-linux) processors
AOTInductor Freezing for CPU	torch.distributed.pipelining, simplified pipeline parallelism	BF16 symbolic shape optimization in TorchInductor
New Higher-level Python Custom Operator API	Intel GPU is available through source build	Performance optimizations for GenAI projects utilizing CPU devices
Switching TCPStore’s default server backend to libuv
*To see a full list of public feature submissions click here.

BETA FEATURES
[Beta] Python 3.12 support for torch.compile
torch.compile() previously only supported Python 3.8-3.11. Users can now optimize models with torch.compile() with Python 3.12.

[Beta] AOTInductor Freezing for CPU
This feature enables users to turn on the freezing flag when using AOTInductor on CPU. With this feature, AOTInductor can cover the same set of op scenarios and reach on-par performance as Inductor CPP backend. Before this support, when models contain MKLDNN operators (when computation-intensive operators are involved, such as Convolution, Linear, ConvTranspose, and so on) and freezing is on, those models will fail to run since AOTInductor didn’t support serializing the MKLDNN weights which have an opaque format.

The workflow is as explained in the AOTInductor tutorial, in addition to that users could now add the freezing flag to get better performance:

export TORCHINDUCTOR_FREEZING=1
[Beta] New Higher-level Python Custom Operator API
We’ve added a new higher-level Python Custom Operator API that makes it easier than before to extend PyTorch with custom operators that behave like PyTorch’s built-in operators. Operators registered using the new high-level torch.library APIs are guaranteed to be compatible with torch.compile and other PyTorch subsystems; authoring a custom operator in Python using the previous low-level torch.library APIs required deep understanding of PyTorch internals and has many footguns.

Please see the tutorial for more information.

[Beta] Switching TCPStore’s default server backend to libuv
Introduced a new default server backend for TCPStore built with libuv which should introduce significantly lower initialization times and better scalability. This should ideally benefit users with a much shorter startup time when accounting for large-scale jobs.

For more information on the motivation + fallback instructions please refer to this tutorial.

PROTOTYPE FEATURES
[PROTOTYPE] FSDP2: DTensor-based per-parameter-sharding FSDP
FSDP2 is a new fully sharded data parallelism implementation that uses dim-0 per-parameter sharding to resolve fundamental composability challenges with FSDP1’s flat-parameter sharding.

For more information regarding the motivation / design for FSDP2 please refer to the RFC on Github.

[PROTOTYPE] torch.distributed.pipelining, simplified pipeline parallelism
Pipeline Parallelism is one of the primitive parallelism techniques for deep learning. It allows the execution of a model to be partitioned such that multiple micro-batches can execute different parts of the model code concurrently.

torch.distributed.pipelining provides a toolkit that allows for easy implementation of pipeline parallelism on general models while also offering composability with other common PyTorch distributed features like DDP, FSDP, or tensor parallel.

For more information on this please refer to our documentation and tutorial.

[PROTOTYPE] Intel GPU is available through source build
Intel GPU in PyTorch on Linux systems offers fundamental functionalities on Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series: eager mode and torch.compile.

For eager mode, the commonly used Aten operators are implemented by using SYCL programming language. The most performance-critical graphs and operators are highly optimized by using oneAPI Deep Neural Network (oneDNN). For torch.compile mode, Intel GPU backend is integrated to Inductor on top of Triton.

For more information for Intel GPU source build please refer to our blog post and documentation.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
torch.compile optimizations for AWS Graviton (aarch64-linux) processors
AWS optimized the PyTorch torch.compile feature for AWS Graviton3 processors. This optimization results in up to 2x better performance for Hugging Face model inference (based on geomean of performance improvement for 33 models) and up to 1.35x better performance for TorchBench model inference (geomean of performance improvement for 45 models) compared to the default eager mode inference across several natural language processing (NLP), computer vision (CV), and recommendation models on AWS Graviton3-based Amazon EC2 instances.

BF16 symbolic shape optimization in TorchInductor
Pytorch users can now experience improved quality and performance gains with the beta BF16 symbolic shape support. While static shape may afford additional optimization opportunities compared to symbolic shape, it is insufficient for scenarios such as inference services with varying batch size and sequence length, or detection models with data-dependent output shape.

Verification using TorchBench, Huggingface, and timms_model shows a similar pass rate and comparable speedup with the BF16 static shape scenario. Combining the benefits of symbolic shape with BF16 AMX instructions hardware acceleration provided by Intel CPUs and general Inductor CPU backend optimizations applicable to both static and symbolic shape in PyTorch 2.4, the performance for BF16 symbolic shape has significantly improved compared to PyTorch 2.3.

The API to use this feature:

model = ….
model.eval()
with torch.autocast(device_type=”cpu”, dtype=torch.bfloat16), torch.no_grad():
   compiled_model = torch.compile(model, dynamic=True)
Performance optimizations for GenAI projects utilizing CPU devices
Highlighting the enhanced performance of PyTorch on CPU, as demonstrated through the optimizations made for the “Segment Anything Fast” and “Diffusion Fast” project. However, only CUDA devices are supported in the model. We have incorporated CPU support into the projects, enabling users to leverage the increased power of CPU for running the project’s experiments. Meanwhile, we have employed a block-wise attention mask for SDPA as well, which can significantly reduce peak memory usage and improve performance. We have also optimized a series of layout propagation rules in Inductor CPU to improve performance.

To facilitate this, we have updated the README file. The API to use this feature is given below, simply providing --device cpu in the command lines:

For Segment Anything Fast:

export SEGMENT_ANYTHING_FAST_USE_FLASH_4=0
python run_experiments.py 16 vit_b <pytorch_github> <segment-anything_github>
<path_to_experiments_data> --run-experiments --num-workers 32 --device cpu
For Diffusion Fast:

python run_benchmark.py --compile_unet --compile_vae --enable_fused_projections --device=cpu
Users can follow the guidelines to run the experiments and observe the performance improvements firsthand, as well as explore the performance improvement trends across FP32 and BF16 data types.

Additionally, users can achieve good performance using torch.compile and SDPA. By observing the performance trends across these different factors, users can gain a deeper understanding of how various optimizations enhance PyTorch’s performance on CPU.
