The latest language model from OpenAI already debuts today, and the famous company introduced the world with GPT-4, the next-gen artificial intelligence of the company. It is the successor of the GPT-3 language model best known for powering the company's successful ChatGPT for text and content generation.

What is more iconic with the latest language model is that it is the better-performing AI system present from the company, with OpenAI soon making this available for people to experience the latest multimodal model.

OpenAI's latest announcement brings forth the new language model from the team's development, introducing GPT-4 to the world. It is a multimodal model, and OpenAI emphasizes this, as it is significantly different from its predecessor, GPT-3, which is mainly relying on text prompts.

This new GPT-4 is capable of accepting text inputs, but also image uploads for its AI-powered content generation for the public. It may be the next destination when people are finding an image or looking for better context using static media.

The latest language model is still producing or emitting text outputs for users.

According to OpenAI "We've spent 6 months iteratively aligning GPT-4 using lessons from our adversarial testing program as well as ChatGPT, resulting in our best-ever results (though far from perfect) on factuality, steerability, and refusing to go outside of guardrails."

To Soon Power ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing

The company admitted that its language model is still less powerful than humans in different real-world scenarios, but is continuously working to develop the technology.

They also regarded that GPT-4 is coming to ChatGPT and soon making its API access to the public to use for their apps, via a new waitlist.

Microsoft also confirmed that this new language model is also coming to power its Bing with ChatGPT.

OpenAI's Language Model

OpenAI rose to fame earlier this year and in late 2022 because of the highly popular ChatGPT platform that serves as a hub for knowledge, information, data, and wonders for many. The chatbot may either be someone people may talk to, but it may also bring knowledge and information to the public to help with their school work.

Of course, the famous ChatGPT platform is also something that many people disagree with, or see as a threat, particularly with tech CEO Elon Musk, who was previously part of the OpenAI board of investors.

Educators and the academe are mostly against ChatGPT as it is the "shortcut" to creating assignments or school projects which is counterproductive to studying.

ChatGPT is powered by the GPT-3 language model which was released in 2020, and the company has been working on an update to deliver a more capable and advanced system that was released today. Three years later, GPT-4 comes to life, and it brings a significant advancement to OpenAI's language model, particularly with its soon integration into ChatGPT and Microsoft Bing.
