OpenAI has developed a new system capable of solving grade school math word problems with nearly double the accuracy of previous GPT-3 models. This system achieves approximately 90% of the performance of real children in the 9-12 age range by training the model to recognize and correct its own errors through repeated attempts. The approach involves using verifiers to evaluate multiple candidate solutions, selecting the best one, which offers a significant performance boost and appears to scale more effectively with data than simply increasing model size.
