📌 BIG NEWS

OpenAI just released GPT-4

OpenAI finally unveiled GPT-4, the long-awaited follow-up to their current GPT-3.5 model that went viral late last year.

The model took two years to develop according to OpenAI. "We rebuilt our entire deep learning stack and, together with Azure, co-designed a supercomputer from the ground up."

Building on GPT-3.5's success, GPT-4 is reportedly even more reliable, creative, and capable of handling complex tasks. 

The model isn't just about text--it's multimodal and can accept image inputs too, though not yet available to the public. 

Developers and ChatGPT users can soon customize the AI's using "system" messages for a tailored AI experience.

GPT-4 does have its limitations, such as possible--though reduced compared to older models--unreliability, hallucinations, and reasoning errors. It's also unaware of events after September 2021.
