GPT-4 is out! Everything you need to know, and more (long format)

There we are. And the possibilities are endless. It will fundamentally change the future of work.

OpenAI has just introduced GPT-4, an advanced AI model for image and text comprehension, which the organization describes as a significant achievement in its deep learning scaling efforts.

Announcing GPT-4, a large multimodal model, with our best-ever results on capabilities and alignment: openai.com/product/gpt-4

Sam Altman @sama

here is GPT-4, our most capable and aligned model yet. it is available today in our API (with a waitlist) and in ChatGPT+. openai.com/research/gpt-4 it is still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it.

openai.comGPT-4We’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 professi…

What’s new?

In contrast to GPT-3.5, which operates ChatGPT, a widely-used conversational bot, and can only read and respond using text, the upgraded GPT-4 will be capable of generating text based on input images. Although the OpenAI team acknowledged on Tuesday that the model "falls short of humans in many real-world situations," it has demonstrated human-level competence on various professional and academic benchmarks.

It's scary how fast AI is evolving. GPT-4 was released today and it can pass the bar exam with a top 10% score. GPT-3.5 failed the bar exam with a bottom 10% score. Colleges exams are about to become obsolete.

Ethan Mollick @emollick

🤯🤯Well this is something else. GPT-4 passes basically every exam. And doesn't just pass... The Bar Exam: 90% LSAT: 88% GRE Quantitative: 80%, Verbal: 99% Every AP, the SAT...

Which companies are already endorsing GPT-4?

As it transpires, GPT-4 has been operating in plain sight.

• Microsoft confirmed that its Bing Chatbot technology, developed in collaboration with OpenAI, is powered by GPT-4. Several early adopters have also embraced GPT-4, including Stripe, which is employing the model to scan business websites and provide a summary for customer support personnel

• Duolingo has incorporated GPT-4 into a new language learning subscription tier

• Morgan Stanley is developing a GPT-4-based system that can retrieve information from company documents and present it to financial analysts

• Khan Academy is utilizing GPT-4 to create an automated tutor

Let’s have a look at practical examples from real life

Remarkable applications of GPT-4 are already emerging, all done in less than three and a half hours after the release…

• Turn a sketch into a web app? Check

Siqi Chen @blader

gpt-4 can turn your napkin sketch into a web app, instantly. we are deep into uncharted territory here.

• Recreate the legendary Pong game, code included? Check

Pietro Schirano @skirano

I don’t care that it’s not AGI, GPT-4 is an incredible and transformative technology. I recreated the game of Pong in under 60 seconds. It was my first try. Things will never be the same. #gpt4

• Recreate a Snake game, JS code included? Check

Ammaar Reshi @ammaar

Can GPT-4 code an entire game for you? Yes, yes it can. Here's how I recreated a Snake game that runs in your browser using Chat GPT-4 and @Replit, with ZERO knowledge of Javascript all in less than 20 mins 🧵

• Generate a one-click lawsuit? Check

Joshua Browder @jbrowder1

DoNotPay is working on using GPT-4 to generate "one click lawsuits" to sue robocallers for $1,500. Imagine receiving a call, clicking a button, call is transcribed and 1,000 word lawsuit is generated. GPT-3.5 was not good enough, but GPT-4 handles the job extremely well:

• Get a summary from an Ethereum contract? Check

Conor @jconorgrogan

I dumped a live Ethereum contract into GPT-4. In an instant, it highlighted a number of security vulnerabilities and pointed out surface areas where the contract could be exploited. It then verified a specific way I could exploit the contract

• Help you find your ideal partner? Check

Jake Kozloski @jakozloski

How Keeper is using GPT-4 for matchmaking. It takes profile data & preferences, determines if the match is worth pursuing & automates the followup. With computer vision for the physical, you can filter on anything and find your ideal partner.

• Build a Chrome extension? Check

Jake Browatzke 🚀 @jakebrowatzke

Holy crap! With GPT-4's help and no previous coding experience I just made my first Google Chrome extension in a few hours. GPT-4 walked me step by step thru the entire creation process, writing the code and fixing all errors that came up. The simple extension translates the… https://t.co/8IC1ZtLrnC

When will it be available?

OpenAI has made GPT-4 accessible to its paying customers through ChatGPT Plus, subject to a usage limit, and developers can join a waitlist to obtain access to the API.

So far, OpenAI is testing the image comprehension function with only one partner, Be My Eyes, which implies that not all OpenAI users have access to it yet. With the assistance of GPT-4, Be My Eyes has developed a new "Virtual Volunteer" capability that can respond to inquiries about images transmitted to it.

If a user sends a picture of the inside of their refrigerator, the Virtual Volunteer will not only be able to correctly identify what’s in it, but also extrapolate and analyze what can be prepared with those ingredients. The tool can also then offer a number of recipes for those ingredients and send a step-by-step guide on how to make them.
