According to the website of the British "New Scientist" magazine, on the 14th local time, about 4 months after the release of the artificial intelligence (AI) chat robot ChatGPT that shocked the technology industry, the Open Artificial Intelligence Company (OpenAI) behind ChatGPT announced the official release as ChatGPT Powered by a more powerful next-generation technology, GPT-4, which boasts image recognition capabilities, advanced reasoning skills, and the ability to process 25,000 words, it performed "on par with humans" in some tests.

OpenAI says it "spent six months to make GPT-4 safer and more stable" so that the AI is less likely to respond with "impermissible content" in response to human user questions. A blog post and technical report from the company OpenAI declared that GPT-4 performed "human-like" in some ways and outperformed its predecessors on many mock exams for college admissions and professional fields such as law and medicine. GPT-3.5. For example, GPT-4 passed the mock bar exam with a score above 90% of human test-takers, while GPT-3.5 previously scored below 90% of human test-takers.
So far, OpenAI has released only minimal details about GPT-4's architecture, hardware, computing power required for training, and the data used to train it. OpenAI said the move was made "for competitive and safety reasons," but the lack of more information also made it harder for scientists to verify the accuracy and safety of GPT-4's performance.
Since its launch in November last year, ChatGPT has been able to generate articles, stories and poems based on user prompts, but it has also been accused of overreacting emotionally and making factual errors, which has sparked concern. OpenAI also warns that GPT-4 will still "fantasize about facts and make inference errors," meaning that "people should be very careful when using information output by language models, especially in high-stakes settings."
Microsoft is a major backer of OpenAI, investing billions of dollars in it. Microsoft revealed that its Bing search engine chatbot had previously been running on GPT-4 for five weeks. OpenAI’s announcement also highlighted that language-learning app Duolingo, payments service Stripe, online learning service Khan Academy, and financial services firm Morgan Stanley, among others, are already using GPT-4.
