GPT-4 seems capable of creating CycL output from a text prompt. It might be an interesting guard against hallucination - much like a student being asked to show their work, you're forcing the LLM to go through the steps of framing the problem logically, in a way that's interpretable by the teacher independent from the student's thought processes.

That said, it certainly seems like there hasn't been recent work on hosting the OpenCyc knowledge graph in a reasonably modern way, much less the more recent closed-source work by Cycorp (https://cyc.com/). And it's likely GPT-4 doesn't know the full capabilities beyond whatever tutorials were on the web at the time of its training. If I were Cycorp I'd be seriously looking at developing this kind of hybrid model, with an agent model having access to recall their closed-source examples, as a paid cloud offering; there would likely be many who would desire this best-of-both-worlds.
