OpenAI’s newly-unveiled GPT-4 is being released to limited ChatGPT Plus subscribers and to select businesses using the company’s API.
OpenAI, the folks behind the ludicrously popular ChatGPT and DALL-E, has near-single handedly strangled the entire tech world in the grip of AI. Now the company has a new version of its AI language generator that, at least on paper, seems purpose built to upend multiple industries even beyond the tech space.
On Tuesday, the company unveiled GPT-4, an update to its advanced AI system that’s meant to generate natural-sounding language in response to user input. The company claimed GPT-4 is more accurate and more capable of solving problems. It even inferred that ChatGPT performs better than most humans can on complicated tests. OpenAI said GPT-4 scores in the 90th percentile of the Uniform Bar Exam and the 99th percentile of the Biology Olympiad. GPT-3, the company’s previous version, scored 10th and 31st on those tests, respectively.
The new system is now capable of handling over 25,000 words of text, according to the company. GPT-3 was only capable of handling 2,048 linguistic tokens, or 1,500 words at a time. That’s not to say some folks haven’t tried writing entire novels with earlier versions of the LLM, but this new version could allow text to remain much more cohesive.
All the folks hanging on OpenAI’s every word have been long anticipating the release of GPT-4, the latest edition of the company’s large language model.
