OpenAI has rolled out a major upgrade to its ChatGPT chatbot, introducing a new and improved version of GPT-4 Turbo for premium users. The updated model, gpt-4-turbo-2024-04-09, offers enhancements in writing, math, logical reasoning, and coding, along with a more recent knowledge base compared to the previous edition available in ChatGPT. This new model was trained on data up to December 2023.
Users of ChatGPT Plus, Team, or Enterprise plans can now take advantage of the improved capabilities of GPT-4 Turbo in their conversational interactions. OpenAI promises that responses generated by ChatGPT with the new model will be more direct, less verbose, and use more natural and conversational language. The update aims to enhance the overall user experience and make interactions with the chatbot more efficient and engaging.
This latest ChatGPT upgrade comes on the heels of OpenAI’s recent launch of new models in its API, including GPT-4 Turbo with Vision, which adds image understanding abilities to the text-based GPT-4 Turbo model. However, OpenAI has faced some controversies recently, including reports that Microsoft proposed the military use of OpenAI’s DALL-E text-to-image model. Additionally, OpenAI was reported to have fired two researchers for alleged leaking of information, signaling internal turmoil within the organization. Despite these challenges, OpenAI continues to push forward with improvements and innovations in its AI technologies.
