GPT-4 was released on 14, March 2023 initially.OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed the release of ChatGPT’s current most powerful LLM. The new large language model replaced their prior flagship AI model GPT-3.5.
What is GPT-4?
GPT-4 is the latest product by OpenAI.The previous model GPT 3.5 gained immense popularity due to its diversity of features.
GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer. This is, a type of language model that uses deep learning to generate human-like, conversational text.
Status of GPT-4 Now and How to Access It?
GPT-4, was officially launched on March 13, 2023, with a paid subscription. It offers its users access to the premium features of ChatGPT-4. It offers advanced features of an AI chatbot. ChatGPT3.5 is still available for free to the users.
If you are new to OpenAI, you can use it by visiting the official site of OpeAI.Sign up for a free account which will give you access to GPT-3.
To access the premium features, you will need to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus. With a $20 monthly subscription, you will access the premium features of this amazing chatbot. At the time of writing, it has a cap of 100 messages every four hours.
Use Cases of GPT-4
GPT-4 offers the following benefits to its users:
1. Generate images and recipes
You can not actually produce images from GPT-4 as outputs, Still, it can understand and analyze image inputs. It has the potential to accept both text and image inputs, helping users to specify any task involving language or vision. You can produce various types of text outputs, such as natural language and code by giving it, inputs that include a mix of text and images.
GPT-4’s multimodal feature allows users to upload images such as a photo of flour, butter, eggs, and milk and this will recommend some tasty treats that can be made with those ingredients.
2. Helps code video games
GPT-4 also works wonders by coding entire video games with lightning speed. Twitter users have also been demonstrating the potential of this model.
3. Useful to write longer text processing
Large language models like GPT have a limited context window. This limitation never lets it be used to generate something like a whole novel all at once.
The new GPT-4 model has advanced features in this regard. Its long-form mode offers a context window of 32,000 tokens. That’s too much larger than the previous GPT-3 API that offered only 2,049 tokens.
4. Offers advanced reasoning capability
GPT-4 is doing fantastic as compared to the earlier versions with its natural language understanding capabilities and problem-solving abilities. You may not be able to discern the difference with a superficial trial, but the test and criterion results show that it is superior to others in terms of more complex tasks.
5. Enjoy increased parameters
A GPT model has specific parameters that define its ability to learn and predict. Your answer depends on the weight or bias of each parameter. Its accuracy depends on how many parameters it uses in generating the output.
GPT-3 uses 175 billion parameters in its training, while it uses trillions! There is a clear difference. It’s nearly impossible to wrap your head around. The new design also brings better performance, scalability, and efficiency.
6. Get advanced creativity in your writings
With its higher language capabilities, it is more advanced in creativity compared to earlier models. It has the potential to make the language model more adaptive to certain use cases that require creative writing skills, such as:
- Screenplay writing
- Blog post creation
- Essay writing
7. Improved adjustment for inappropriate requests
ChatGPT’s previous model ChatGPt3.5 was criticised extensively for providing answers to inappropriate requests such as explaining how to make bombs at home, etc. OpenAI was working on this problem and made some adjustments in GPT-4 to prevent the language models from producing such content.
8. Adaptability feature
“Steerability” is a concept in AI that refers to its ability to adapt its behavior as required. This feature can be valuable, such as when the model needs to act as a compassionate listener, it would act accordingly.
GPT-4 offers the feature of steerability more seamlessly than GPT-3.5. This helps users modify the default ChatGPT personality to better align with their specific requirements.
Other Features of GPT-4
1. Problem Solving
It is capable of addressing more complex problems, even ones requiring multiple steps.
2. Advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Equipped with the advanced engine, it can perform sentiment analysis, translation, and text summarization at a far higher accuracy than before.
3. Fewer Mistakes
GPT-4 “Hallucinates” much less than GPT-3. It’s approximately 40% less.
Difference Between GPT-3 and GPT-4
The main difference between the models is that because GPT-4 is multimodal, it can use image inputs in addition to text, whereas GPT -3.5 can only process text inputs.
The distinction between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 will be “subtle” in casual conversation, according to OpenAI. However, the new model will be more capable in terms of reliability, creativity, and even intelligence as seen by the higher performance on benchmark exams above.
How was GPT-4 Trained?
it had undergone special training which took place on the AI supercomputers of Microsoft Azure. Azure’s infrastructure, which is optimized for AI, also enables the distribution of GPT-4 to users worldwide.
Like all the previous GPT models, GPT-4 was also trained to generate text outputs. It was trained on a mixture of publicly available data, such as internet data, and proprietary data that we have licensed. However, GPT4 has a slightly but importantly different advantage in training; it was trained with human feedback.
Human Feedback and GPT-4 Training
In the old AI chatbot models of OpeAI, users were able to get a broad range of answers based on their questions. However many of these may not align with the user’s intended meaning. This issue was resolved and GPT-4 behavior was refined, through reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF). This was done to ensure that it stays within certain boundaries that are consistent with the user’s objectives.
This issue was handled in by using feedback from a human source. It includes human feedback provided by users of ChatGPT, to enhance the performance of GPT-4. They also collaborated with more than 50 specialists to obtain initial feedback in various areas, such as AI safety and security.
GPT-1 to GPT-4: A Constant Improvement of AI Models
1. GPT-1
This AI chatbot model was introduced in 2018 by OpenAI. This model worked by using its natural language understanding. This model was a proof-of-concept and was not released publicly.
2. GPT-2
Next year, OpenAI launched another paper GPT-2. It was accessible to the machine learning community and found some adoption for text generation tasks. GPT-2 had the potential to generate a couple of sentences before breaking down. This was state-of-the-art in 2019.
3. GPT-3
In 2020, OpenAI published another paper GPT-3 model. It had 100 times more parameters than GPT-2 and was trained on an even larger text dataset. It was a better model in terms of performance. The model continued to be improved with various iterations known as the GPT-3.5 series, including the conversation-focused ChatGPT.
This version gained immense popularity and surprised the world with its ability to generate pages of human-like text. ChatGPT became the fastest-growing web application ever, reaching 100 million users in just two months.
4. Legacy GPT-3.5
Legacy GPT-3.5 was released in November 2022. This is the free version which is still available to all users as of March 2023. This is the lowest capability in terms of reasoning, speed, and conciseness, compared to the following models.
5. Default GPT-3.5
Default GPT-3.5 is a pro version of the legacy model, released at the beginning of March 2023. This was the paid previous version before GPT4. According to OpenAI, this version has better conciseness and is faster than the previous version. However, there is no qualitative difference between the reasoning capabilities of the two versions.
6. GPT-4
Introduced on March 14, 2023, through a blog post, GPT-4 stands as the pinnacle of the current AI language models. There are no public figures about the exact number of parameters it contained. But it is expected to have at least ten times more parameters than its predecessor, GPT-3, surpassing a staggering 1 trillion.

How can OpenAI Reach New Milestones With GPT-4?
OpeAI needs a massive amount of investment and computing resources to thrive in this ever-growing technology of AI.
Microsoft has also invested three billion dollars into OpenAI, and according to the New York Times, it is going to invest an additional $10 billion.
It was hinted that GPT-4 might have multimodal capabilities, quoting a venture capitalist Matt McIlwain who knows GPT-4.
What are the Rumors and Facts about GPT-4?
There are two most important facts about this model. One is that OpenAI has been confused about GPT-4 to the point that the public knows virtually nothing. The other is that OpenAI won’t release a product until it knows it is safe.
Presently, we are not sure about its future features and performance level. There are some discussions on Twitter saying that GPT-4 will be next-level and a disruption.
Does GPT-4 Rsemble the Artificial General Intelligence Model?
Artificial General Intelligence is a hypothetical form of AI with a human level of cognitive function, including the ability to self-teach. Specifically, it’s where a model can perform any intellectual task that a human can. Learning, reasoning, problem-solving, understanding, emotions, etc.
In the words of Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, it’s not even close. ChatGPT can generate contextually relevant text but has no understanding of the topics it discusses. The knowledge it shares comes from patterns in the text data it was trained on.
It’s primarily focused on generating text and improving the text it generates. ChatGPT cannot “think” for itself, and doesn’t have the cognitive abilities humans do. It also doesn’t have “common sense”. This is evident in some of the conversations folks have posted online where there is no logic to the conversation.
So GPT-4 is not a true AGI model. We can enjoy what ChatGPT is good at providing, which is text conversations that can teach us things.
What are GPT-4 Limitations?
1.ChatGPT usage cap limitation
The new version of OpenAI, GPT4, which is publicly available via ChatGPT, currently has a usage cap limitation. Users facing this limitation are directed to use the earlier GPT-3.5 versions.
2. Common LLM reasoning limitation
GPT-4 has impressive abilities, it shares some of the limitations of earlier GPT models. The model is not completely trustworthy, and it tends to generate false information and make mistakes in its reasoning. Consequently, users should be careful when relying on the language model’s outputs, particularly in high-stakes situations.
3. Knowledge update limitation
GPt-4 like all the previous GPT models does not possess knowledge of events that have occurred before 21 September 2021. Also, it cannot learn from its experiences.
4. Scientific research limitation
Besides ChatGPT Plus users, GPT4 is currently available for the use of software developers as an API to develop applications and systems.
What is Bing Chat?
Bing Chat is a chatbot introduced by Microsoft. It runs on OpenAI’s most advanced LLM — GPT-4. According to Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft corporate vice president and consumer chief marketing officer. Within one month of launching, 45 million chats took place on the platform with the new Bing having 100 million daily active users.
The chatbot is popular as it offers almost the same features as ChatGPT but has full access to the internet, which ChatGPT does not have. The public can use it by applying to a waitlist to be granted access.
Is there a GPT-4 API available?
Yes, a GPT-4 is available for developers via a waitlist.
The waitlist gets some information about the purpose of using GPT-4, such as building a new product, integrating it into an existing product, academic research, or just general exploration of capabilities. The form also asks you to share specific ideas you have for GPT-4 use.
Can GPT-4 get answers wrong still?
Yes, it is still possible with GPT-4 to get wrong answers to your queries as previous GPT models. OpenAI even says that this model is, “not fully reliable (it “hallucinates” facts and makes reasoning errors)”.
Despite the warning, OpenAI says GPT-4 hallucinates less often than previous models with GPT-4 scoring 40% higher than GPT-3.5 in an internal adversarial factuality evaluation. The chart is included below.
Conclusion
GPT-4 is the latest AI chatbot introduced by OpenAI. OpenAI has invested a huge amount of money and computation data to introduce it as an improved version of ChatGPT 3.5. It offers advanced features such as more word generation limit, text-to-image interaction, better adaptability, etc. It has some limitations too and there is still room to bring more improvements in the future models.
