EVERYTHING

YOU NEED
TO KNOW
ABOUT
GPT-4
WHAT IS THE TECHNOLOGY
BEHIND GPT-4?
GPT-4 – just like its predecessors –
is a large language model. But with
significantly greater computing power
thanks to a vast neural network – the
heart of deep learning algorithms. How
much greater? OpenAI won’t say. What
we do know: at over 100 times larger,
GPT-3 outshone GPT-2.
With GPT-4, we can expect
a much bigger leap.
HOW DOES
GPT-4 LEARN?
Just like with ChatGPT, GPT-4 learns
via human feedback. Humans judge
responses from the model, awarding
scores that serve to improve future
responses. But GPT-4 can go further:
it can practice self-improvement! The
team told it to generate inputs that
led to undesirable responses that were
biased or offensive – then adjusted
the model to reject such inputs in the
future.
WHAT’S THE MAIN DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN CHATGPT AND GPT-4?
GPT-4 is a multimodal large language
model, which means it not only
responds to text but also to images.
In combining the two, developers
hope to address traditional weak
points of language models, like spatial
reasoning, because such models should
theoretically be able to comprehend
the world better.
SO GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF
USE CASES WITH GPT-4
Open AI’s chief scientists named two
that display its multimodality: “Give it
a photo of the contents of your fridge
and ask it what you could make, and
GPT-4 will try to come up with recipes
that use the pictured ingredients. It’s
also great at explaining jokes: If you
show it a meme, it can tell you why it’s
funny.”
GPT-4 SOUNDS GREAT –
IS THERE A CATCH?
Well nobody’s perfect – including
GPT-4. Although it’s learning fast,
it might still generate inaccurate
responses – and it can still be hacked
to get past its safeguards.
Still interested? That’s the other catch
– to gain access to GPT-4, you need to
sign up to the waitlist. Subscribers of
the paid-for ChatGPT Plus can access
a limited, text-only version.
