Also: GPT-4 unveiled: ChatGPT’s next big upgrade is here GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), a type of language model that uses deep learning to generate human-like, conversational text. Also: ChatGPT’s success could prompt a damaging swing to secrecy in AI, says AI pioneer For example, with GPT-4, you could upload a worksheet and it will be able to scan it and output responses to the questions. It could also read a graph you upload and make calculations based on the data presented. The intellectual capabilities are also more improved in this model, outperforming GPT-3.5 in a series of simulated benchmark exams, as seen by the chart below. The only way to access the text-input capability through OpenAI is with a subscription to ChatGPT Plus, which guarantees subscribers access to the language model at the price of $20 a month. However, even through this subscription, there will be a user cap which means you may not be able to access it whenever you’d like, something to consider before making the investment. There is a free way to access GPT-4’s text capability and it’s by using Bing Chat. Also: Still waiting for Bing Chat access? Make sure you do these 4 things The day that GPT-4 was unveiled by OpenAI, Microsoft shared that its own chatbot, Bing Chat, had been running on GPT-4 since its launch five weeks ago. Bing Chat is free to use but does require signing up via a waitlist. Also: What is Bing Chat? Here’s everything we know The chatbot’s popularity stems from the fact that it has the same abilities of ChatGPT but has full access to the internet, which ChatGPT does not have. The public can use it by applying to a waitlist to be granted access. Also: OpenAI introduces a ChatGPT API for developers The waitlist asks for specific information regarding how you plan to use GPT-4, such as building a new product, integrating into an existing product, academic research, or just general exploration of capabilities. The form also asks you to share specific ideas you have for GPT-4 use. Also: How does ChatGPT work? The distinction between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 will be “subtle” in casual conversation, according to OpenAI. However, the new model will be more capable in terms of reliability, creativity, and even intelligence as seen by the higher performance on benchmark exams above. Also: ChatGPT’s most lauded capability also brings big risk to businesses Despite the warning, OpenAI says GPT-4 hallucinates less often than previous models with GPT-4 scoring 40% higher than GPT-3.5 in an internal adversarial factuality evaluation. The chart is included below.
