California startup OpenAI, which in late 2022 released the highly successful ChatGPT interface capable of generating any kind of text on demand, on Tuesday unveiled GPT-4, a new version of the generative artificial intelligence technology that drives the popular chatbot, according to AFP.
“The GPT-4 is an excellent multimedia model, not as good as humans in many real-life scenarios, but as good as humans in many professional and academic contexts,” the company said in a statement.
“For example, he passed the bar exam in the top 10%. The previous version, GPT 3.5, was in the last 10%,” she said.
ChatGPT has caused a lot of excitement and controversy since it became open source and is used by millions of people around the world to write essays, lines of code, ads, or just to test their skills.
OpenAI, which received billions of dollars from Microsoft, has established itself as a leader in the field of generative artificial intelligence with its models for generating text as well as images using the DALL-E program.
Its head, Sam Altman, recently explained that the company is currently working on so-called “general” artificial intelligence, that is, programs with human cognitive abilities.
“Our mission is to ensure that general AI — artificial intelligence systems that are smarter than humans in general — benefits all of humanity,” he said in a company blog post on February 24.
Multimedia capabilities are a step in that direction.
Unlike previous versions, GPT-4 is truly able to “see”: it can handle both text and images. However, it only creates text.
It will be available on ChatGPT, but currently without the ability to provide images.
OpenAI also notes that despite its capabilities, “GPT-4 has the same limitations as previous models”: “It is not yet fully reliable (makes up facts and makes errors in reasoning).”
The company announced that it has hired more than 50 experts to assess new dangers that may arise, for example in the field of cyber security, in addition to already known risks (generation of dangerous advice, erroneous computer codes, false information, etc.). (photo: Dreamstime)
