OpenAI announces the launch of GPT-4, promising significant advancements in chatbot technology during a livestream conference. Despite initial rumors of an AI-powered search product, OpenAI focuses on GPT-4 to enhance ChatGPT’s capabilities, aiming to stay competitive in the market.
13 May 2024 – OpenAI is set to introduce its latest innovation, GPT-4, in a move that promises to redefine the landscape of AI-driven conversational platforms. CEO Sam Altman announced the news last Friday, stating that the new model “feels like magic,” hinting at a significant leap in capabilities. The company will host a livestream conference on Monday at 10 am PT (1700 GMT) to showcase the updates to ChatGPT and unveil GPT-4.
Initially rumored to announce an AI-powered search product, OpenAI decided to delay this announcement, opting instead to focus on the unveiling of GPT-4. The company faces pressure to expand the user base of ChatGPT, which, despite its initial success, has seen fluctuating website traffic over the past year. Integrating real-time web information into the chatbot has been a challenge, with previous attempts like ChatGPT plugins being retired in April.
Industry experts highlight the importance of this advancement to keep OpenAI competitive with Google and other AI-powered search providers. With GPT-4, OpenAI aims to deliver a more magical experience for users, leveraging advancements in natural language understanding.
