GPT-4 | 20 Mar 2023

Why in News?

OpenAI has recently launched its ChatGPT Plus subscription for Indian users, providing them with early access to the latest language model GPT-4.

  • This move comes at a time when tech giants are competing to offer the best generative AI to the customers.

How is GPT 4 Different from Other Previous Models?

  • According to OpenAI, GPT-4 is more advanced than its predecessors when it comes to creativity, visual comprehension and context.
    • It also possesses the ability to collaborate with users on various creative projects, including music, screenplays, technical writing, etc.
  • It can process up to 25,000 words of text and facilitate extended conversations.
  • GPT-4 can encompass more than just text – it also accepts images as input.
    • On the contrary, GPT-3 and GPT-3.5 only operated in one modality, text, allowing users only to ask questions by typing them out.
  • GPT-4 is more multilingual and OpenAI has demonstrated that it outperforms GPT-3.5 and other Large Language Models (LLMs) by accurately answering thousands of multiple-choice across 26 languages.
    • It handles English best with an 85.5% accuracy, but Indian languages like Telugu aren’t too far behind either, at 71.4%.

What is ChatGPT?

  • ChatGPT is a variant of GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) which is a large-scale neural network-based language model developed by OpenAI.
  • GPT models are trained on vast amounts of text data to generate human-like text.
    • It can generate responses to a wide range of topics, such as answering questions, providing explanations, and engaging in conversations.
    • In addition to being able to "admit its mistakes, challenge false premises, and refuse unsuitable requests," the ChatGPT can also "answer follow-up questions."
  • The chatbot was also trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF).
