3 pieces of AI news you will see in the press this week

Week 45 / 2023

🚀 GPT-4 Turbo: a new, much more capable & cheaper model

It supports a 128k context window, which means OpenAI has increased the limit of information that ChatGPT can process in a single prompt. In practical terms, this allows the tool to process text equivalent to approximately 155 A4 pages with a 12pt font.

The knowledge of world events gets updated to April 2023 and the tokens become 2x cheaper compared to the standard GPT-4.

It will be released live in the upcoming weeks.

🤖 Introducing GPTs: build your own AI assistants

This is a game changer. A way to build an agent-like experience within your own service or app; or to add it as part of an upcoming GPT Store (it's like AppStore, but for GPT assistants).

I’m excited about the potential of custom support chatbots, trained with proprietary business content using the Retrieval tool, with context enhanced through Function calling to internal APIs: questions like “What’s the status of order no. 1337?” from customers could be automated in an incredible way. And this is what I’m going to explore in the upcoming period.

The custom assistant feature enters beta starting today.

🧑‍💻 API on steroids: leverage vision, DALL·E 3 and text to speech

Developers will be able to integrate their apps with GPT-4 Turbo and interpret real-world photos or documents, generate images from scratch or convert text to human-quality speech.

I’ve tried the voice samples, the quality is astonishing.

…and there are now over 100 million weekly active users on ChatGPT.
