Researchers have developed a technique called natural language embedded programs (NLEPs) that improves the performance of large language models by generating Python programs to solve complex tasks.

Isn't this what GPT has been doing (with a somewhat limited level of success) for quite a while?

I feel like scitechdaily.com is mostly an exercise in repackaging very surface-level stories to harvest clicks, not really all that deep or informative. Just MO on it. I looked at the story, and it's a little more sophisticated than what GPT has already been doing for a while, so maybe that's unfair, but it still seems like a weirdly notable omission to make it sound more breakthrough-y than it is.
