GPT-4 has been released

Mar 14, 2023 ·

OpenAI’s GPT-4 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4) is a large language model that has been trained on a dataset of 45TB of text. It contains 175 billion parameters, making it the largest language model ever created. GPT-4 can generate human-like text when given a prompt, a technique known as “open-ended generation”. GPT-4 is capable of generating text for a wide variety of tasks, such as summarizing articles and generating dialogue.

GPT-4 was built upon OpenAI's previous language model, GPT-3, which had already been tested with great success. To build GPT-4, OpenAI used an improved data set and a larger training process. The data set consisted of several publicly available datasets, including Common Crawl, WebText and BooksCorpus. The model was also trained on many documents, including Wikipedia articles, web pages, scientific papers, and books. This allowed OpenAI to create a more comprehensive dataset.

Once trained, OpenAI compared GPT-4's performance to the original GPT-3 model. They found that GPT-4 performed better in all tasks, including summarizing articles, generating dialogue, and open-ended generation. In all tests, GPT-4 demonstrated superior results, even surpassing human performance in some areas.

In addition to its impressive ability to generate text, GPT-4 is capable of performing a wide range of tasks. It can answer questions, write stories and essays, generate jokes, and predict the next word in a sentence. OpenAI has also said that GPT-4 could be used in machine translation, summarization, and natural language understanding.

All these advances from OpenAI have sparked an increase in interest in artificial intelligence, leading to further research and advancements in the field. With its massive size and powerful capabilities, GPT-4 marks a major milestone in the development of large language models.
