The announcement

From the Open AI release

"We’ve created GPT-4, the latest milestone in OpenAI’s 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"

They went on to mention

• Accepting image and text inputs, emitting text outputs
• Open source Eval (i.e. your inputs as training data)
• Passing simulated bar exams with a score around the top 10% of test takers
• The MS Bing search engine is already using it - as is language learning app DuoLingo, payment provider Stripe, the Icelandic government, Bing

Whilst not mentioning

• Anything much about the technical specifications - size, training data, computer capacity (this is a new theme)
