OpenAI has launched GPT-4, an update over its original ChatGPT tool, which the company says features advnaced securithy and the ability to handle sensitive requests, making it closer to a human experience.
GPT-4 can analyze images and write code in all major programming languages, with many developers being able to create basic computer games in less than a minute using the tool.
While the previous version of ChatGPT was not able to reason and learn new things, with a lot of hallucinations, inappropriate or incorrect responses that is, the new generation relies on a ‘multimodal model’ that can accept longer text inputs of up to 25,000 words, as opposed to the earlier 3000 words, and is trained to be safer and more factual, OpenAI said.
Microsoft last month released the Bing AI chatbot using GPT-4, giving users a preview of the powerful tool’s capabilities.
