OpenAI recently announced GPT-4 Turbo, an upgraded version of their powerful language model GPT-4. There are several key differences that make GPT-4 Turbo more advanced and worth paying attention to. Let’s take a look.
One major upgrade with GPT-4 Turbo is its larger context window. Context refers to the amount of text the AI can process at a time. GPT-4 Turbo can handle up to 128,000 tokens, equivalent to around 300 pages of text. This is one of the largest context windows in any large language model today. Meanwhile, GPT-4 is limited to a more humble 8,000 tokens or 24 pages.
Another advantage of GPT-4 Turbo is its knowledge has been updated to April 2023, whereas GPT-4 is current only through September 2021. With more recent information, GPT-4 Turbo can discuss and understand the latest events, research, and facts.
Staying up-to-date is crucial for an AI assistant. Outdated knowledge leads to incorrect or ignorant responses. GPT-4 Turbo’s knowledge refresh keeps it relevant and useful for today’s conversations.
According to OpenAI, GPT-4 Turbo also costs less for developers to use. Input is just $0.01 per 1,000 tokens, compared to $0.03 for GPT-4. Output is $0.03 per 1,000 tokens. Overall, the newer model is 3 times cheaper than previous versions.
The lower cost makes the advanced AI more accessible to developers. Companies and researchers can experiment with GPT-4 Turbo without spending as much. This wider availability will likely accelerate innovation in AI applications.
Finally, GPT-4 Turbo is already accessible in preview by passing “gpt-4-1106-preview” in the API. OpenAI plans to officially launch the stable production-ready model in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, GPT-4 was first released back in March and made generally available in July. By tapping into the preview, developers can start integrating and testing with GPT-4 Turbo today.
