OpenAI, the startup that ushered in the generative AI era with a massively popular chatbot, is set to unveil what it calls “Spring Updates” to its ChatGPT and GPT-4 models.
This will happen in a live stream on Monday, the day before Google is hosting its annual I/O conference, in which artificial intelligence is likely to play a commanding role. Google has its own AI offerings, including the Gemini chatbot and what it calls the Search Generative Experience.
Reports this week suggested OpenAI planned to unveil a search product to rival offerings from both Google and startup Perplexity, but OpenAI says that’s not the case.
“We are not launching a search product or GPT-5 on Monday,” a spokesperson said in an email.
Since ChatGPT debuted in November 2022, we have seen generative AI technology is going mainstream as competitors like Adobe, Anthropocene, Google, Meta, Microsoft and perplexity introduced their own models and the chatbot arms race began. (See our reviews of these products, as well as other helpful tips and news, in our new AI Atlas Center.) As the models improved, the tech companies behind them teased functionality like sounds and even video games. But it’s still anyone’s game.
With all of these companies, there is a user-facing chatbot or other interface and underlying AI technology. In OpenAI’s case, ChatGPT is the product you use, and GPT with different numbering is the big language model that powers it.
It’s been six months since the last model, GPT-4 Turbo was released. It provides more up-to-date answers than its predecessors and can understand — and generate — larger chunks of text.
This includes GPT-4 which released in March 2023. It is available through the ChatGPT Plus subscription for $20 per month and uses 1 trillion parameters or pieces of information to process requests.
An even older version, GPT-3.5, is available for free, but has a smaller context window. It uses 175 billion parameters.
in his review of GPT-3.5CNET’s Imad Khan calls ChatGPT 3.5 “user-friendly enough that most people can still find value in it,” but he cautions you to “be careful not to take ChatGPT’s answers as absolute.”
The live stream will be available on openai.com.
So far, it’s anyone’s guess when GPT-5 will make its debut—or what it’ll be capable of.
