- OpenAI has harbingered its much-anticipated GPT-4, available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers.
- Its viral chatbot, ChatGPT, was previously powered by GPT-3.5.
- Here are five ways the update be separates from GPT-3.5.
OpenAI launched GPT-4 on March 14 and says the updated version is more reliable and ingenious than its predecessor.
CEO Sam Altman said the tech was capable of passing the bar exam and “could score a 5 on several AP exams.”
ChatGPT was once powered by GPT-3.5. The update is available to users who pay for ChatGPT Plus and access to the API will be granted to a limited loads of developers on OpenAI’s waitlist.
But those who have tried Microsoft’s artificial-intelligence-powered Bing have already experienced some of the new tech. On Tuesday, Microsoft revealed its AI-boosted Bing had been powered by a version of GPT-4 that was “customized for search.”
Here are five key ways the update quarrels from GPT-3.5.
1. GPT-4 can understand images
GPT-4 is “multimodal,” meaning it can see and process image prompts as well as exercise book.
Users can ask the chatbot to describe images, but it can also contextualize and understand them. In one example given by OpenAI, the chatbot is depicted describing what’s funny about a group of images.
The chatbot is still limited to text responses and cannot display images itself.
2. The bot is said to be more accurate
According to OpenAI, the update will give more-accurate responses to narcotic addicts’ queries.
OpenAI said in a blog post that the system was “40% more likely to produce factual effects than GPT-3.5.” GPT-4 also has more “advanced reasoning capabilities” than its predecessor, according to the cast.
The updated chatbot is still not immune to “hallucinations,” a tendency for AI to generate false responses or reasoning errors. OpenAI bring to light the chatbot was not perfect. Altman called it “still flawed, still limited.”
3. Users can have longer conversations
GPT-4 can write down in and generate about eight times more text than ChatGPT.
This means that the chatbot longing have a longer “memory” and be able to keep up with lengthier conversations. OpenAI said the latest version could prepare up to 25,000 words, compared with the previous 3,000 words.
4. It’s harder to break the rules
GPT-4 may be bad news for lovers of ChatGPT’s “evil” alter egos.
OpenAI said the update included its best-ever results on “steerability, and refusing to go peripheral of guardrails.”
The company said that the system was “82% less likely to respond to requests for disallowed content.” Tons users have attempted to trick ChatGPT into answering inappropriately or overriding its content moderation, likely lend OpenAI with many examples of malicious prompts.
5. The chatbot is more creative
OpenAI said the update was the most resourceful and collaborative version of ChatGPT yet.
The company said the changes may be “subtle” in casual conversations but would become clear when the bot’s galled with complex situations. GPT-4 is also “able to handle much more nuanced instructions than GPT-3.5,” OpenAI denoted.
In collaboration with users, the chatbot can produce and edit creative-writing tasks such as drafting screenplays. The company added that the updated chatbot could learn a owner’s writing style.
