Investigation of Duo Chat Regressions post using Claude-3 Sonnet Instead of Claude-2 for CEF
Summary
In our daily monitoring of the Duo Chat Dashboard for April 9th, we observed a drop in the similarity score for all datasets , but the maximum drop is code explanation : https://lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/151b233a-d6ad-413a-9ebf-ea6efbf5387b. The Explanation score drops from 0.89 to 0.61
Findings
groupai model validation are investigating with a cursory check. The Hypothesis is due to the change from Claude 2.1 to Claude-3 Sonnet solely leading to the drop
@AndrasHerczeg has validated through the UI as well
@tle_gitlab has further looked into error tracing as below :

I don't see how I can help. Please give better instructions!
Apart from the difference underlining model, the prompt also changed, i.e. from Completions API and Messages API.
- We use system prompt in
claude-3-sonnet
but notclaude-2.1
. - The CoT response on
claude-3-sonnet
seems to broken and results in the default response (code).
Next Steps
-
groupduo chat to Iterate on The CoT response on
claude-3-sonnet
