OpenAI Announces Powerful New GP4 Turbo AI

OpenAI revealed its new, more powerful GP4 Turbo artificial intelligence model on Monday during its first in-person event. The company also announced a new option that will allow users to create custom versions of its viral ChatGPT chatbot. OpenAI is rapidly evolving its offerings in an effort to stay ahead of rivals like Anthropic, Google and Meta in the AI arms race.

ChatGPT, which broke records as the fastest growing consumer app in history just months after its launch, now has about 100 million weekly active users, OpenAI said. More than 92% of Fortune 500 companies now use the platform, up from 80% in August.

Up to April 2023 Knowledge Base

One limitation of previous ChatGPT models was that their knowledge cutoff was January 2022. For example, if you asked ChatGPT who won the Super Bowl in February 2022, it wouldn't have been able to tell you. GP4 Turbo overcomes this limitation with knowledge up to April 2023, allowing it to answer more recent questions. As OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, "We are just as annoyed as all of you probably more that ChatGPT's knowledge about the world ended in 2021. GP4 Turbo fixes this major shortcoming."

Accepts 300 Pages of Text Input

While earlier ChatGPT versions limited users to about 3,000 words of input, GP4 Turbo can accept up to 300 pages of text input. This allows users to provide much more detailed prompts and have more nuanced conversations with the AI. The increased input length enables tasks like asking ChatGPT to summarize entire books and articles, something not possible with the limited input length of previous versions.

Integrates Images and Text-to-Speech

GP4 Turbo supports DALL-E generated images and text-to-speech capabilities. It has six preset voices to choose from, allowing users to hear answers in different voices. The integration of images and audio makes interactions with ChatGPT more life-like and multi-modal. Users can now both see and hear the AI's responses, expanding the ways they can interact and use the system.

Customizable ChatGPT Options Revealed

OpenAI revealed new options to create customized versions of ChatGPT, allowing users to tailor the chatbot to their specific needs and interests.

This customizability will allow ChatGPT to be adapted for a wider range of professional use cases. Users will be able to fine-tune the model on proprietary datasets to create unique AI assistants and chatbots.

Create Custom Versions of Viral Chatbot

The custom versions will allow users to shape ChatGPT's personality, knowledge, and capabilities for their own purposes. This represents a major upgrade over previous "one-size-fits-all" versions. Users can optimize ChatGPT for their industry, company, or individual needs. The possibilities are endless - from AI writing assistants to customer service chatbots to gaming NPCs and much more.

Microsoft Partnership for Optimized AI Systems

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was joined on stage by surprise guest Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. The two companies deepened their partnership to provide optimized systems for training and running AI models.

Earlier this year, Microsoft expanded its investment in OpenAI by an additional $10 billion, making it the biggest AI investment of the year according to Pitchbook. The companies are working closely to push boundaries in AI research.

Top Computing for Training and Inference

"The systems that are needed as you aggressively push forward on your roadmap require us to be on top of our game," said Nadella during the event. "We intend fully to commit ourselves fully to making sure you all have not only the best systems for training and inference but also the most compute." With Microsoft's cloud infrastructure and resources, OpenAI will have unmatched computing power to develop increasingly advanced AI systems.

Reduced Pricing for Developers

OpenAI announced reduced pricing for developers using its API. GP4 Turbo input tokens are now 3x cheaper than GP4, at $0.01 per token. Output tokens are 2x cheaper at $0.002 per token.

The cost reductions will allow more developers to access OpenAI's technology and experiment with integrating it into applications.

GP4 Turbo Tokens Now Cheaper

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the pricing changes directly address developer needs identified over the past year. By reducing costs, OpenAI aims to empower developers and accelerate innovation in AI applications.

Rapid Innovation to Stay Ahead of Rivals

OpenAI's series of announcements show the company is rapidly evolving ChatGPT and its other offerings in an effort to stay ahead in the AI race.

With tech giants like Google, Meta, and Baidu investing heavily in AI, OpenAI is pushing boundaries to maintain its lead.

The upgrades to ChatGPT's capabilities, customizability, and pricing show OpenAI's commitment to innovating quickly based on user feedback.

Conclusion

OpenAI's event revealed major upgrades like GP4 Turbo that overcome ChatGPT's limitations, deeper integration with Microsoft for optimized AI systems, reduced pricing for developers, and increased customizability. The rapid pace of innovation shows OpenAI intends to stay ahead of rivals in the intensifying AI race.
