Millions of users in record time, millions of dollars in investments, titans terrified by its potential. Everything seems to indicate that we live in the world of ChatGPT, but behind the chatbot there is a model, and the masterminds of OpenAI have just announced its new version, GPT-4. As a multimodal model, GPT-4 can accept images as input, interpret their content, and respond with more accurate information than its predecessor.
OpenAI mentions through its official page that the differences between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 can be very subtle in casual conversation, but everything changes when the complexity of the task crosses a certain threshold. From there, GPT-4 demonstrates greater stability, creativity, and ability to process specific instructions. To support this, the page presents a series of benchmarks that includes very high-profile exams. In all cases, the new model surpasses both GPT-3.5 and other competitors, so it would have no difficulty getting into university.
GPT-4: Passes exams, interprets images, understands jokes?
However, one of the most impressive aspects of GPT-4 is that it can interpret images. In other words, GPT-4 is not simply a language model, but also functions as a visual model, accepting prompts that combine text and photographs. For example, the image of the "VGA charger" below has a fairly obvious viral profile for us, but some people need a little context. That is not the case with GPT-4, which, in addition to correctly describing the image, understood the joke perfectly.
Now, analyzing viral images is just the tip of the iceberg for GPT-4. The model can process documents, diagrams, charts, illustrations, and photographs. This seems to be the first step towards what many researchers call "Artificial General Intelligence" or "Strong AI", which surpasses human intelligence. At the end of February, OpenAI published an article in which it explores the potential of these advanced models, but GPT-4 is still far from that. The biases in its dataset of training have not gone anywhere, nor have its moments of delusion.
Would you like to try GPT-4? There are currently two options. The first is to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus , costing $20 per month. The second... is to access the enhanced version of Bing with artificial intelligence . After the official presentation of GPT-4, Microsoft confirmed on the official Bing blog that the company uses a variant of GPT-4 customized for searches. In fact, any user who has used Bing in the last five weeks has already experienced GPT-4. What are you waiting for?
