OpenAI exec describes GPT-4 'recipe for producing magic'

OpenAI, the San Francisco A.I. lab that is now closely tied to Microsoft, says that GPT-4 is much more capable than the GPT-3.5 model underpinning the consumer version of ChatGPT. For one thing, GPT-4 is multi-modal: it can take in images as well as text, although it only outputs text. This opens up the ability of the A.I. model to "understand" photos and scenes. The new model performs much better than GPT-3.5 on a range of benchmark tests for natural language processing and computer vision algorithms. It also performs very well on a battery of diverse tests designed for humans, including a very impressive score on a simulated bar exam as well as scoring a five out of five on a wide range of Advanced Placement exams, from Math to Art History.
