OpenAI Releases GPT-4: The New Powerhouse Language Model

OpenAI has announced the release of GPT-4, the latest addition to its series of powerful language models. GPT-4 joins the flagship AI model GPT-3.5 and brings significant advancements to the field of artificial intelligence. While GPT-3.5 remains the default model for free users, GPT-4 introduces new features and capabilities that set it apart from its predecessors.

One of the most notable features of GPT-4 is its multimodal capabilities. With the GPT-4V update, the ChatGPT AI chatbot can now process image inputs and generate image outputs. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for users, allowing them to interact with the model using multiple mediums such as text, image, and sound. This advancement is made possible by DALL-E 3, a top-tier AI image generator that powers the visual functionality of ChatGPT.

In addition to its multimodal capabilities, GPT-4 introduces the ability to browse the web using the “Browse with Bing” feature. This feature leverages the Bing Search Engine and provides the OpenAI chatbot with access to information beyond its pre-existing training data. By browsing the web, GPT-4 gains knowledge of events and information happening outside of its original training.

GPT-4 has already demonstrated its superiority over GPT-3.5 in various tasks. Notably, it achieved a score in the 90th percentile for the Uniform Bar Exam, outperforming GPT-3.5 by a significant margin.

Despite some rumors circulating about the number of parameters used in GPT-4, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed that the model will not be built using the claimed 100 trillion parameters. However, past models from OpenAI have consistently improved upon their predecessors by a significant factor, indicating that future models like GPT-5, slated for 2024, will continue to push the boundaries of AI technology.

Although GPT-4 is not a standalone AI chatbot like ChatGPT, it powers the ChatGPT interface for paid users. This distinction clarifies the naming confusion surrounding OpenAI’s language models.

The release of GPT-4 marks another significant milestone in the development of AI technology. With its advanced capabilities and improvements over previous models, GPT-4 brings us one step closer to a future where AI can seamlessly interact with humans and revolutionize various industries.
