ICYMI: OpenAI launches all-new GPT-4

OpenAI recently revealed the GPT-4 that has new and upgraded capabilities.

Chat GPT-4

Chat GPT-4 is very promising

On March 14, OpenAI unveiled GPT-4, which it called its "latest milestone" in its effort "in scaling up deep learning."

GPT-4 is a large multimodal model (accepting image and text inputs, emitting text outputs) that, while less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios, exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks, it explained.

To test the smartness of GPT-4, was tested through a simulated bar exam.

OpenAI said GPT-4 passed "with a score around the top 10 percent of test takers; in contrast, GPT-3.5's score was around the bottom 10 percent."

In a casual conversation, the distinction between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 can be subtle. The difference comes out when the complexity of the task reaches a sufficient threshold—GPT-4 is more reliable, creative, and able to handle much more nuanced instructions than GPT-3.5, OpenAI also explained.

One of the highlights of GPT-4 is its "steerability."

Rather than the classic ChatGPT personality with a fixed verbosity, tone, and style, developers (and soon ChatGPT users) can now prescribe their AI’s style and task by describing those directions in the 'system' message. OpenAI said. System messages allow API users to significantly customize their users’ experience within bounds.

While it is an improved version, OpenAI noted that GPT-4 still has its limitations.

Despite its capabilities, GPT-4 has similar limitations as earlier GPT models. Most importantly, it still is not fully reliable (it “hallucinates” facts and makes reasoning errors), it pointed out.

OpenAI said users should be careful when using language model outputs, particularly in high-stakes contexts, with the exact protocol matching the needs of a specific use case.
