application
2. The accuracy of ChatGPT or any language model cannot be measured using standard techniques.
3. It has been developed by Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI)
Select the correct option:
Correct
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Only statement 1 is correct.
ChatGPT
• The tool has been developed by OpenAI, a research institute founded in 2015. Hence statement 3 is not
correct.
• ChatGPT is much more than a chat bot. For example, you can ask it to write a program or even a simple
software application. It can also do creative tasks such as writing a story. It can explain scientific concepts
and answer any question that needs factual answers. ChatGPT is what is called a Language Model, rather
than a chat bot. Hence statement 1 is correct.
• The accuracy of ChatGPT or any language model can be measured using standard techniques. One such
technique is “Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation” or the ROUGE metric which compares
ChatGPT’s output of content against a standard expected content and measures the overlap as success
percentage. Hence statement 2 is not correct.

Pralay Missile
• The decision by the Defence Ministry to procure indigenous short-range ballistic surface-tosurface (SRBM)
missile Pralay, a conventional weapon that has become ready for induction in just seven years.
• The missile will be India’s first tactical quasi-ballistic missile. Hence statement 1 is correct.
• Pralay, along with the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, will form the crux of India’s planned Rocket
Force, a concept that was envisaged by former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), the late General Bipin Rawat.
• The Pralay missile project was sanctioned in 2015 and is a derivative of the Prahaar missile programme,
which was first tested in 2011.
• The canisterised Pralay missile, with a range of 150-500 kilometres, has been developed according to the
specifications and requirement of the Army.
• The Indian missile can be compared to China’s Dong Feng 12 and the Russian Iskander missile that has
been used in the ongoing war with Ukraine.
• What makes Pralay deadly is that it is a quasi-ballistic weapon, which means that while it has a low
trajectory and is largely ballistic, it can manoeuvre in flight.
