![This image shows section 5.1 Language Models from a document’s “Experiments & Results” chapter. It details the language models used in the study:
1. Phi-3-7B: A Small Language Model (SLM) with 7 billion parameters [Abdin et al., 2024].
2. Claude 3.5 Sonnet (dated 2024-10-22): A ~175B parameter model offering state-of-the-art performance in coding, vision, and reasoning [Anthropic, 2024].
3. Gemini 2.0 Flash: Described as Google’s most advanced Gemini model [Google, 2024], with mentions of other large models like Med-PaLM (540B) [Singhal et al., 2023].
4. ChatGPT (~175B) and GPT-4 (~1.76T): Called “high-intelligence” models [OpenAI, 2023a & 2023b].
5. GPT-4o (~200B): Promoted as “GPT-4-level intelligence but faster” [OpenAI, 2024a], and includes GPT-4o-mini (~8B, dated 2024-05-13) [OpenAI, 2024b].
6. o1-mini (~100B, dated 2024-09-12) [OpenAI, 2024c], and o1-preview (~300B, same date) [OpenAI, 2024d], both described as having “new AI capabilities” for complex reasoning.
A note at the bottom explains that parameter sizes are estimates from public articles, not officially confirmed, and provided only for context. It advises readers to consult original documentation for accurate details.

根据国际货币基金组织对2027年全球GDP为127万亿美元的预测，这相当于7,630亿美元的损失。
美国自身将受到最严重的打击。亚洲经济研究所估计，美国在那一年GDP将下降2.7%。由于进口价格上涨，依赖中国零部件的美国企业利润将下滑。
汽车关税预计也将在经济下滑中起到关键作用，因为车辆价格飙升将导致消费者在其他方面的支出减少。耶鲁大学预算实验室上星期五发布的报告估计，仅汽车关税一项，就可能导致美国家庭人均可支配收入减少492至615美元。

亚洲经济研究所：特朗普全面关税落实将使全球GDP减少逾7000亿美元， 美国将受到最严重冲击
据日经报道，日本贸易振兴机构下属的亚洲经济研究所估算，如果特朗普星期三宣布的对等关税在全球范围内实施，可能会对全球经济造成沉重打击，其中美国将因进口商品价格上涨而受到特别严重的影响。、
特朗普星期天表示，这些关税将“从所有国家开始”，将以各贸易伙伴对美国征收的关税及其他贸易壁垒为依据。
在此之前，商务部长霍华德·勒特尼克将在星期二提交一份关于美国贸易逆差原因的报告。
