ChatGPT upgrade gathers all tools in one place

OpenAI is rolling out an updated version of ChatGPT that combines all of GPT-4’s capabilities in a single interface.

Key points:

• Users will be able to access all ChatGPT features (web browsing, DALL-E 3, data analysis, etc.) within the main interface without needing to switch between modes.
• OpenAI also added a feature that allows users to upload PDFs and documents and ‘chat’ with them.
• The company is expected to make more major announcements at next week’s OpenAI DevDay.
• The update is slowly being rolled out to ChatGPT Plus members.

The bottom line: Combining all of GPT-4’s capabilities is a step toward all-in-one multimodal AI assistants. This is a major upgrade as the AI race between Big Tech companies heats up.
