18+ hour, 55+ min ago   (1390+ words) Here, we systematically investigate the factors that influence performance and find that general-purpose LLMs are comparable, if not superior, to previously reported task-specific generative models. Our analysis reveals that this is largely driven by the feedback loop and not solely…...
