Over the weekend (this past Saturday specifically), GPT-4o seems to have gone from capable and rather free for generating creative writing to not being able to generate basically anything due to alleged content policy violations. It’ll just say “can’t assist with that” or “can’t continue.” But 80% of the time, if you regenerate the response, it’ll happily continue on its way.
It’s like someone updated some policy configuration over the weekend and accidentally put an extra 0 in a field for censorship.
GPT-4 and GPT 3.5 seem unaffected by this, which makes it even weirder. Switching to GPT 4 will have none of the issues that 4o is having.
I noticed this happening literally in the middle of generating text.

The only problem I really have, is context size. It’s harder to get larger than 8k context size and maintain decent generation speed with 16 GB of VRAM and 16 GB of RAM. Gonna get more RAM at some point though, and hope ollama/llamacpp gets better at memory management. Hopefully the distributed running from llamaccp ends up in ollama.
