As a way to supercharge their famous ChatGPT , OpenAI now introduces GPT-4 , which can now even process images.
OpenAI has announced to the whole world that its new artificial intelligence is now available: the GPT-4 .
The new generation that will power the current AI in ChatGPT and that has been used in the Microsoft search engine comes with several promises up its sleeve, especially a very striking one: it wants to accept images.
What GPT-4 brings
While GPT-3.5 can work and read with text, its new version seeks to generate text after rendering images.
“While less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios,” the OpenAI team wrote Tuesday, “it exhibits human-level performance in various professional and academic benchmarks.”
The company reports that GPT-4 passed mock exams (such as Uniform Bar, LSAT, GRE, and various AP tests) scoring “in the top 10% of test takers” compared to GPT-3.5 which scored in the top 10%. lower.
“In casual conversation, the distinction between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 can be subtle. The difference arises when the complexity of the task reaches a sufficient threshold: GPT-4 is more reliable, creative, and capable of handling much more nuanced instructions than GPT-3.5 ,” the company adds.

First steps
OpenAI notes that, for now, the image inputs remain a research preview and will not yet be publicly available.
And there’s an even more important caveat: “Despite its capabilities, the GPT-4 has similar limitations to previous GPT models. Most importantly, it is still not entirely reliable (“freaking out” with the facts and making errors of reasoning).”
OpenA I says that GPT-4 will be available for both ChatGPT and the API. You will need to be a ChatGPT Plus subscriber to get access , and you should be aware that there will be a usage limit to play with the new model. API access for the new model is handled through a waiting list.
