Latest Update of ChatGPT: New Features, New Interface, New Experience

ChatGPT has undergone its biggest update since its release a year ago, following OpenAI's DevDay, the company's first-ever developer conference. In addition to allowing ChatGPT Plus subscribers to create their own GPT chatbots, the interface of ChatGPT Plus has also received a new look and added functionality.

These changes are significant for ChatGPT Plus subscribers. OpenAI has finally integrated most of the additional GPT-4 features into its most powerful model, instead of requiring users to select each feature from a dropdown list.

Now, whenever Plus subscribers choose GPT-4, they can simultaneously utilize advanced data analytics, image generation from DALL-E 3, and internet browsing capabilities, all of which are part of GPT-4's capabilities.

Prior to this update, Plus users had to first select the GPT-4 model and then choose one available feature to use it, with each feature having to be used separately.

For example, if a user chose to use Bing browsing, they could ask GPT-4 a question and the AI chatbot would reply with answers obtained from internet searches. However, if these users wanted it to create an AI-generated image using DALL-E 3, they had to switch to that feature beforehand.

Plugins still remain separate from the capabilities of GPT-4, as plugins are diverse and may conflict with the newly integrated capabilities of GPT-4.

As for the Turbo version of GPT-4, OpenAI has not yet released an improved model for regular users to use. GPT-4 Turbo will enable ChatGPT to have knowledge of world events up until April 2023 and have a context window of 128k, allowing it to process over 300 pages of text in a single prompt.

"GPT-4 Turbo is currently available to all paying developers, simply pass gpt-4-1106-preview in the API to try it out. We plan to release a stable production-ready model in the coming weeks," OpenAI stated in a product announcement.

ChatGPT Plus is a subscription service that costs $20 per month and provides additional features of the model such as web browsing, DALL-E 3, advanced data analytics, plugins, access to new features, and access during high-traffic periods.
