GPT-5在长文本任务中表现更稳,虽准确率下降但精准度保持95%。
GPT-5 vs Other LLMs in Long Short-Context Performance
- 对比GPT-4等四模型,测试长上下文任务表现差异。
- 输入超7万词时,所有模型准确率降至50%-53%,仅GPT-5精度维持95%。
- 适合敏感场景如抑郁检测,强调精准而非单纯准确率。
随着大语言模型(LLMs)上下文窗口显著扩展,理论上可单次处理数百万词。然而研究显示,模型在实际应用中利用长上下文信息的能力与理论能力存在巨大差距,尤其在需全面理解大量细节的任务中。本文评估了四种前沿模型(Grok-4、GPT-4、Gemini 2.5、GPT-5)在长短上下文任务中的表现。使用三个数据集:两个用于检索菜谱和数学题的补充数据集,以及一个包含2万条社交媒体帖子的主数据集,用于抑郁症检测。结果显示,当社交数据输入超过5,000条(约7万词)时,所有模型性能显著下降,2万条输入下准确率降至50%-53%。值得注意的是,尽管GPT-5准确率大幅下降,其精确度仍稳定在约95%,这一特性在抑郁症检测等敏感应用中极具价值。研究还表明,新模型已基本解决‘中间信息丢失’问题。该研究揭示了模型理论容量与实际性能之间的鸿沟,并强调在实际应用中需关注超越简单准确率的评估指标。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
With the significant expansion of the context window in Large Language Models (LLMs), these models are theoretically capable of processing millions of tokens in a single pass. However, research indicates a significant gap between this theoretical capacity and the practical ability of models to robustly utilize information within long contexts, especially in tasks that require a comprehensive understanding of numerous details. This paper evaluates the performance of four state-of-the-art models (Grok-4, GPT-4, Gemini 2.5, and GPT-5) on long short-context tasks. For this purpose, three datasets were used: two supplementary datasets for retrieving culinary recipes and math problems, and a primary dataset of 20K social media posts for depression detection. The results show that as the input volume on the social media dataset exceeds 5K posts (70K tokens), the performance of all models degrades significantly, with accuracy dropping to around 50-53% for 20K posts. Notably, in the GPT-5 model, despite the sharp decline in accuracy, its precision remained high at approximately 95%, a feature that could be highly effective for sensitive applications like depression detection. This research also indicates that the "lost in the middle" problem has been largely resolved in newer models. This study emphasizes the gap between the theoretical capacity and the actual performance of models on complex, high-volume data tasks and highlights the importance of metrics beyond simple accuracy for practical applications.
