ChatGPT Is About To Get Way More Powerful:

It’s Multimodal

Multimodal models can work with a wide range of media types as their output and input — everything from text to images and, ultimately, video.

Currently, GPT-4 supports images for both its inputs and outputs. Initially, this capability is available only to a single third-party company that is helping OpenAI test image processing.

Once the system is faster, images as input will become available to more users.

It Can Process Way More Data

The original ChatGPT could process 4,096 tokens. That’s about 5,000 words worth of text.

That limitation included both the text in the prompt given to ChatGPT and the system’s output. The limits prevented the system from analyzing big documents or writing long blog posts — or even books.

The limitation was likely a cost/computation-based limitation. The more tokens you add to a large language model, the more computation the model needs to perform to process the text, and thus the more expensive it is to run.

GPT-4 expands these limitations dramatically. By default, GPT-4 can handle 8,000 tokens right out of the box. It can also support up to 32,000 tokens. That’s about 50 pages of text.

Processing more data will allow the system to process far more instructions, write longer articles, and perhaps even write very long documents or full literary works.

It’s Better at Human-Like Tasks and Tests

ChatGPT running GPT3.5 could pass human-oriented exams like the bar exam — but only just.

The system tended to get a score on the lower end of passing — a C- or thereabouts. GPT-4 has been trained to perform these human-like tests and tasks much better.

The model now performs as well as a top student on many standard exams. AP Environmental Science exams, GRE exams, and even the LSAT — GPT-4 can easily score in the top 10% of them all.

It’s still terrible at English lit. But tasks like math exams — where GPT-3.5 struggled — are much improved with GPT-4.

Next Steps

If you want to use GPT-4, there are a few ways you can do so:

For example, sign up for ChatGPT Plus. GPT-4 should be available through the paid ChatGPT already.
