or being able to suggest recipes for a user after analyzing an image of the ingredients they have to hand.

This has led to some exciting uses, like GPT-4 creating a website based on a quick sketch. This might sound familiar if you’re had a go with Stable Diffusion AI art generation, but it’s more capable than that, as it can respond to images and queries. GPT-4 is a multimodal language model AI, which means it can understand text and other media, like images. OpenAI also assures us that GPT-4 will be much harder to trick, won’t spit out falsehoods as often, and is more likely to turn down inappropriate requests or queries that could see it generate harmful responses.īut GPT-4 also has some exciting new abilities that early adopters are already putting to good use. OpenAI claims that it can process up to 25,000 words at a time - that’s eight times more than the original GPT-3 model - and it can understand much more nuanced instructions, requests, and questions than GPT-3.5, the model used in the existing ChatGPT AI. GPT-4 is a next-generation language model for the AI chatbot, and though OpenAI isn’t being specific about what changes it’s made to the underlying model, it is keen to highlight how much improved it is over its predecessor.

GPT-4 is, for now, a subscriber-only feature, though as it sees greater development, it may well become more widely available. The default, free version of ChatGPT is currently running GPT 3.5, a modified version of the GPT3 model that’s been in use since 2020. You’ll also need to sign up if you want to use GPT-4. However, there is a waitlist for new subscribers at this time, so you may have to wait a little while anyway. That gives you priority access, and you should be able to use ChatGPT whenever you want if you’re a paid member. If you don’t want to wait, you can sign up for a ChatGPT Plus subscription. There’s a lot of interest in it at the moment, and OpenAI’s servers regularly hit capacity, so you may have to wait for a spot to open up to use it, but just refresh a few times and you should be able to gain access.
