But that can mean that it makes up information when it doesn’t know the exact answer – an issue known as “hallucination” – or that it provides upsetting or abusive responses when given the wrong prompts. At one point in the demo, GPT-4 was asked to describe why an image of a squirrel with a camera was funny. During a demo of GPT-4 on Tuesday, Open AI president and co-founder Greg Brockman also gave users a sneak peek at the image-recognition capabilities of the newest version of the system, which is not yet publicly available and only being tested by a company called Be My Eyes. At the other end of the spectrum, payment processing company Stripe is using GPT-4 to answer support questions from corporate users and to help flag potential scammers in the company’s support forums. The new version can handle massive text inputs and can remember and act on more than 20,000 words at once, letting it take an entire novella as a prompt. “We had been using it for personalizing lessons and running Duolingo English tests.

However it warned that it may still be prone to sharing disinformation. ChatGPT answers questions using natural human-like language, and it can also mimic other writing styles such as songwriters and authors, using the internet as it was in 2021 as its knowledge database. The new model can respond to images - providing recipe suggestions from photos of ingredients, for example, as well as writing captions and descriptions.

A significant focus of the GPT-4 project has been building a deep learning stack that scales predictably. Like previous GPT models, the GPT-4 base model was trained to predict the next word in a document using publicly available data and data licensed by OpenAI. GPT-4 can accept both text and images as input, making it capable of generating text outputs based on inputs consisting of both text and images. As a result, OpenAI has made many improvements to GPT-4 to make it safer than GPT-3.5. By the end, you’ll better understand the potential impact of GPT-4 and what it is and isn’t capable of. GPT-4 is a large multimodal model that can accept image and text inputs and generate text outputs.

GPT-4 is bigger and better than ChatGPT—but OpenAI won't say why (MIT Technology Review)

We got a first look at the much-anticipated big new language model from OpenAI. But this time how it works is even more under wraps.

The company claims that its safety testing has been sufficient for GPT-4 to be used in third-party apps. Early versions of GPT-4 have been shared with some of OpenAI’s partners, including Microsoft, which confirmed today that it used a version of GPT-4 to build Bing Chat. “OpenAI is now a fully closed company with scientific communication akin to press releases for products,” says Wolf. Give it a photo of the contents of your fridge and ask it what you could make, and GPT-4 will try to come up with recipes that use the pictured ingredients. GPT-4 may be the best multimodal large language model yet built. [the firm’s previous technology](https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/02/24/1017797/gpt3-best-worst-ai-openai-natural-language/), GPT-3, because it is a larger model with more parameters (the values in a neural network that get tweaked during training). This involves asking human raters to score different responses from the model and using those scores to improve future output. “It’s exciting how evaluation is now starting to be conducted on the very same benchmarks that humans use for themselves,” says Wolf. OpenAI says it spent six months making GPT-4 safer and more accurate. “GPT-4 is now the standard by which all foundation models will be evaluated.” In my demo, I was shown GPT-4 summarizing the announcement blurb from OpenAI’s website using words that begin with g: “GPT-4, groundbreaking generational growth, gains greater grades. OpenAI’s new model appears to be better at some basic reasoning than ChatGPT, solving simple puzzles such as summarizing blocks of text in words that start with the same letter.

"Companies that are slow to adopt AI will be left behind – large and small,” says IDC analyst Mike Glennon. “We spent 6 months making GPT-4 safer and more aligned,” the company says. That spending will grow at 27% per year, IDC says, and will surpass $300 billion in 2026.

OpenAI releases GPT-4, a multimodal AI that it claims is state-of-the-art (TechCrunch)

OpenAI has released a new model -- GPT-4 that it claims is top-performing in its class, available to developers through an API.

expert reaction to OpenAI announcing GPT-4 | Science Media Centre (Science Media Centre)

OpenAI has revealed ChatGPT successor, GPT-4. Prof Anthony Cohn, Professor of Automated Reasoning, University of Leeds, said:.

“In the past decade we have created a form of AI by exploiting statistical correlations discovered in vast masses of data, a method akin to a shortcut, that avoided the need for explicit modelling. “GP4 includes several new features including the ability to generate human-like written responses to queries that come in the form of images, not just text, and is already integrated into Microsoft’s web browser. We should insist on continued testing against existing, validated information sources to ensure that the accuracy our collective knowledge base is not eroded.” “I’m intrigued to see the claims made about the reasoning capabilities of GPT-4. “GPT-4 is the latest of the large language models (LLM) to be announced over the last few years. The impressive language capabilities of ChatGPT opened our eyes to a whole swathe of new possibilities – multi-modal generative AI is going to multiply these. The release of GPT-3 in 2020 sent ripples of excitement through the AI community – it became clear that a very big bet by OpenAI on a new generative AI technology was beginning to pay off – this technology represented a clear step change over its predecessors. It is a vastly larger model and is claimed to outperform previous models, though aggregate performance statistics do not reveal the kinds of problems which it fails on, and whether it sometimes gets wrong answers to problems GPT-3 got right. “A range of issues have already been identified with previous artificial intelligence chatbots, including outputting incorrect statements (known as “hallucination”), limited reasoning capabilities and the generation of upsetting or offensive content. Likewise, GPT4 is not perfect but paves the way for AI being used as a commodity tool on a daily basis.” “The authors claim that GPT-4 substantially improves over previous models in the ability to follow user intent. Of note is their example showing the visual capabilities of GPT-4, where the input is a picture consisting of three panels, where one is a phone charging using what looks like a VGA adaptor, the second a Lightning phone charger in the shape of a VGA connector and the third a closer look on the VGA-looking lightning phone adaptor.

The “best-ever results” on factuality, steerability, and refusal to go outside of OpenAI-defined guardrails as a result of this presented challenges for GPT-3.5, the model upon which ChatGPT is based. “We look forward to GPT-4 becoming a valuable tool in improving people’s lives by powering many applications,” OpenAI wrote. A minority of the problems in the exams were seen by the model during training, but we believe the results to be representative.” The word “fantastic” would be broken up into the tokens “fan,” “tas,” and “tic” to represent raw text. The company is supported by a $10 billion Microsoft investment and off the success of ChatGPT. GPT-4 is expected to perform at the “human level” on various professional and academic benchmarks, generate text, and accept both text and image inputs, an upgrade over GPT-3.5, which only accepts text.

What is GPT-4 and how does it differ from ChatGPT? (The Guardian)

The most powerful AI model yet from OpenAI, can tell jokes and write bar exams – but can it also cause harm?

Dubbed the “Waluigi effect”, it seems to be the outcome of the fact that while understanding the full details of what constitutes ethical action is hard and complex, the answer to “should I be ethical?” is a much simpler yes or no question. But some worry that the better you teach an AI system the rules, the better you teach that same system how to break them. The company has released a long paper of examples of harms that GPT-3 could cause that GPT-4 has defences against. (It is unclear whether the experiment involved a real Taskrabbit worker). Now, those filters are built straight into GPT-4, meaning that the system will politely decline to perform tasks such as ranking races by attractiveness, telling sexist jokes, or providing guidelines for synthesising sarin. The system can pass the bar exam, solve logic puzzles, and even give you a recipe to use up leftovers based on a photo of your fridge – but its creators warn it can also spread fake facts, embed dangerous ideologies, and even trick people into doing tasks on its behalf.

GPT-4 is much better at declining inappropriate requests and avoiding harmful content when compared to the initial ChatGPT release. [results](https://openai.com/research/gpt-4) highlighted by OpenAI, what immediately stands out is GPT-4’s performance on a range of standardised tests. One could argue GPT-4 represents only an incremental improvement over its predecessors in many practical scenarios. GPT-4 is a large language model (LLM), a neural network trained on massive amounts of data to understand and generate text. The GPT-4 model introduces a range of enhancements over its predecessors.
