At OpenAI’s first public developer event, DevDay, the AI research organization unveiled new AI models and developer products. Here are the day’s biggest announcements.
New GPT-4 Turbo Model
OpenAI announced the GPT-4 Turbo, a new and more capable version of its
popular GPT-4 model. GPT-4 Turbo is familiar with events up to April 2023, boasts a 128k context window or around 100,000 words, and can fit more than 300 pages of text in a single prompt. That’s four times the current GPT-4 context window.
OpenAI is doubling the tokens per limit rate and significantly lowering the prices on input and output tokens for GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-3.5 Turbo as well as the Fine-tuned GPT-3.5 Turbo 4K model.
Users Can Create and Publish Custom GPTs
Users can build their own GPT chatbots with only prompts for fun or specific use cases. Enterprises will also get a chance to create personalized GPTs trained on company data for internal use. Later this month, OpenAI is opening a store where “verified builders” can publish their GPT creations.
New API for Developers to Build AI Assistants
OpenAI also debuted Assistants API for developers who want to build AI-powered assistants for a range of use cases, from coding to planning a vacation. The new Assistant API includes three tools: a Code Interpreter that can write and run Python code, a Retrieval tool to equip the assistant with knowledge outside of OpenAI’s models, and Function calling to call programming functions for specific actions.
New API Modalities
As part of the new modalities within the API, GPT-4 Turbo can accept visual inputs in the Chat Completions API, enabling caption generation, analyzing real-world images, and other use cases.
Next, OpenAI’s text-to-image model DALL·E 3 will be able to integrate with ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise through an API. Lastly, developers can use the new text-to-speech Audio API to generate human-quality speech from text.
OpenAI also announced that its new program,
Copyright Shield, will cover legal fees in cases where businesses using its AI-generated creations face copyright-related claims and lawsuits.
ChatGPT is one of the fastest-growing products on the market despite being just a year old. OpenAI revealed at the conference that over 100 million people use the tool weekly. Its chatbot spearheaded the AI revolution, prompting tech giants like
Google to work on their own AI chatbots.
