- Although ChatGPT in its original release to the public is impressive, despite being a Generative Pre-trained Transformer or text generator with various shortcomings, it appears obsolete compared to the new GPT-4 update recently showcased by OpenAI. The current ChatGPT version is modelled on the GPT-3 and GPT3.5 protocol, but the new GPT-4 model developed by Sam Altman and the OpenAI team is significantly smarter and faster. Not only does it perform operations at a faster rate than the regular ChatGPT version, but it also has a longer memory and can retain context for extended periods.
- It's no surprise that the new iteration of ChatGPT, based on GPT-4, which some refer to as ChatGPT 2.0, excelled in its exams, earning scores that place it among the top percentile of test takers. Having witnessed the performance of the updated ChatGPT or ChatGPT 2.0, here are five notable ways that the superior GPT-4 model outperforms the previous version.
- GPT-4's most significant enhancement is its "multimodal" capability, enabling it to comprehend various types of information. Unlike ChatGPT and GPT-3, which could only read and compose text, GPT-4 can analyze images and extract relevant data from them. It goes beyond merely identifying the contents of an image; its comprehension of multimodal data is more extensive.
- During a demo, Greg Brockman, President and Co-founder of OpenAI, showcased an updated version of ChatGPT running on GPT-4. Unlike ChatGPT and GPT-3, which only communicated in text, GPT-4 is "multimodal," meaning it can comprehend more than one form of information, such as images. GPT-4 also has a larger maximum token count of 32,768 tokens, allowing it to remember details from earlier in a conversation with great detail. Additionally, GPT-4 is less susceptible to being misled and outperforms the previous generation in terms of "factuality, steerability, and refusal to go outside of guardrails." GPT-4 can answer multiple-choice questions correctly in 26 languages and users can customize its personality to better fit their requirements.
