OpenAI is unveiling GPT-4, the successor to an artificial intelligence tool that spawned viral services ChatGPT and the Dall-E image-creation program. The company said the new version of the technology is more accurate, creative and collaborative.
GPT-4, which stands for generative pretrained transformer 4, will be available to OpenAI's paid ChatGPT Plus subscribers, and developers can sign up to build applications with it. OpenAI said Tuesday the tool is “40% more likely to produce factual responses than GPT-3.5 on our internal evaluations.”
GPT-3 was released in 2020, and along with the 3.5 version, was used to create Dall-E and the chatbot ChatGPT — two products that caught the public imagination and spurred other tech companies to pursue AI more aggressively. Since then, buzz has grown over whether the next model will be more proficient and possibly able to take on additional tasks.
OpenAI said Morgan Stanley is using GPT-4 to organize data, while Stripe Inc., an electronic payments company, is testing whether it will help combat fraud. Other customers include language learning company Duolingo Inc., the Khan Academy and the Icelandic government.

GPT-4 is what's called a large language model, a type of AI system that analyzes vast quantities of writing from across the internet in order to determine how to generate human-sounding text. The technology has spurred
