OpenAI Brings GPT-4 Turbo to Paid ChatGPT Accounts, Claims ‘Improved Capabilities in Writing’

OpenAI upgraded its artificial intelligence (AI) model GPT-4 Turbo with new capabilities on Friday, especially in the areas of mathematics, reasoning, and writing abilities. The upgraded version of GPT-4 Turbo is now being rolled out to the paid users of ChatGPT Plus, Team, Enterprise, and the API. The new AI model also comes with an updated data library and now touts a knowledge cut-off of April 2024. Notably, the update comes just days after the AI firm announced its new GPT-4 Turbo with Vision model in API.

The announcement was made by the official X (formerly known as Twitter) account of OpenAI via a post, where it stated, “Our new GPT-4 Turbo is now available to paid ChatGPT users. We’ve improved capabilities in writing, math, logical reasoning, and coding.” One of the areas where users will be able to see a direct improvement is its conversational language. The company said when writing with ChatGPT, responses will be more direct and less verbose.

This was a complaint we had with ChatGPT when we compared it with Google’s Gemini. We found the latter to be more conversational and generating content such as a letter, an email, or a message felt more natural. In contrast, the responses of ChatGPT (we tested it on GPT-3.5, which is available publicly) felt overly formal and bland. It appears this is now being fixed with the recent update.

OpenAI also highlighted that the new model will offer better math, reasoning, and coding capabilities, however, it did not share any examples of the improvements. Going by the benchmark scores posted by the firm show significant improvement in the MATH and GPQA (Graduate-Level Google-Proof Q&A) benchmarks. HumanEval and MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding) benchmarks, which correspond with coding and natural language processing abilities, did not show any major improvements.

Users will also see an updated knowledge base in the new GPT-4 Turbo model. The company has increased the data cut-off to April 9, 2024, whereas the older Turbo model was updated only till April 2023. Currently, the new AI model is being rolled out to all the paid users of ChatGPT.

Microsoft, OpenAI Plan $100 Billion Data Centre With ‘Stargate’ AI Supercomputer: Report

Microsoft and OpenAI are working on plans for a data center project that could cost as much as $100 billion and include an artificial intelligence supercomputer called “Stargate” set to launch in 2028, The Information reported on Friday.

OpenAI did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.

Rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence technology has led to sky-rocketing demand for AI data centers capable of handling more advanced tasks than traditional data centers.

The Information reported that Microsoft would likely finance the project, which is expected to be 100 times more costly than some of the biggest existing data centers, citing people involved in private conversations about the proposal.

The proposed U.S.-based supercomputer would be the biggest in a series the companies are looking to build over the next six years, the report added.

The Information attributed the tentative cost of $100 billion to a person who spoke to Altman about it and a person who has viewed some of Microsoft’s initial cost estimates. It did not identify those sources.

Altman and Microsoft have spread the supercomputers across five phases, with Stargate as the fifth phase. Microsoft is working on a smaller, fourth-phase supercomputer for OpenAI to be launched around 2026, according to the report.

Microsoft and OpenAI are in the middle of the third phase of the five-phase plan, with a significant portion of the cost for the next two phases involving acquiring the needed AI chips, the report said.

AI chips are often sold at high prices. Chip company Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC earlier in March that the latest “Blackwell” B200 artificial intelligence chip will be priced between $30,000 and $40,000.

Microsoft had also announced a duo of custom-designed computing chips in November last year.

The report said the new project would be designed to work with chips from different suppliers.

“We are always planning for the next generation of infrastructure innovations needed to continue pushing the frontier of AI capability,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Reuters. The spokesperson did not comment directly on the report about the planned launch of the Stargate supercomputer.

Expenses for the plan could exceed $115 billion, more than triple Microsoft’s expenditure last year on capital spending for servers, buildings and other equipment, the report stated.

MLCommons Releases New AI Benchmark to Test Speed of Responses to User Queries

Artificial intelligence benchmarking group MLCommons on Wednesday released a fresh set of tests and results that rate the speed at which top-of-the-line hardware can run AI applications and respond to users.

The two new benchmarks added by MLCommons measure the speed at which the AI chips and systems can generate responses from the powerful AI models packed with data. The results roughly demonstrate to how quickly an AI application such as ChatGPT can deliver a response to a user query.

One of the new benchmarks added the capability to measure the speediness of a question-and-answer scenario for large language models. Called Llama 2, it includes 70 billion parameters and was developed by Meta Platforms.

MLCommons officials also added a second text-to-image generator to the suite of benchmarking tools, called MLPerf, based on Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion XL model.

Servers powered by Nvidia’s H100 chips built by the likes of Alphabet’s Google, Supermicro and Nvidia itself handily won both new benchmarks on raw performance. Several server builders submitted designs based on the company’s less powerful L40S chip.

Server builder Krai submitted a design for the image generation benchmark with a Qualcomm AI chip that draws significant less power than Nvidia’s cutting edge processors.

Intel also submitted a design based on its Gaudi2 accelerator chips. The company described the results as “solid.”

Raw performance is not the only measure that is critical when deploying AI applications. Advanced AI chips suck up enormous amounts of energy and one of the most significant challenges for AI companies is deploying chip that deliver an optimal amount of performance for a minimal amount of energy.

MLCommons has a separate benchmark category for measuring power consumption.

OpenAI’s Video-Making Service Under Data Privacy Scrutiny in EU

OpenAI faces further scrutiny from Italy’s data protection watchdog over concerns that the firm’s new artificial intelligence video creation system would process people’s personal data.

It’s the second time OpenAI has come to the attention of the Italian regulator, which is already investigating possible data violations by the tech company’s ChatGPT tool. 

OpenAI is now facing new pressure from the Italian regulator, which said in a statement on Friday that it’s given the firm 20 days to provide information about its new AI service, called Sora, which can quickly create videos up to a minute in length. 

This is necessary “given the possible implications that the Sora service could have on the processing of users’ personal data in the European Union and in Italy in particular,” the Italian regulator said, adding that it’s also asked whether “the new AI model is already available to the public and whether it is or will be offered to users in the European Union, particularly in Italy.”

San Francisco-based OpenAI is backed by Microsoft, which along with Alphabet’s Google has been using artificial intelligence to enhance their products. 

Last month OpenAI launched an online store where people can share customized versions of the company’s popular ChatGPT chatbot, after initially delaying the rollout because of leadership upheaval last year. The new store, which rolled out Wednesday to paid ChatGPT users, will corral the chatbots that users create for a variety of tasks, for example, a version of ChatGPT that can teach math to a child or come up with colourful cocktail recipes. The product, called the GPT Store, will include chatbots that users have chosen to share publicly. It will eventually introduce ways for people to make money from their creations — much as they might through the app stores of Apple or Alphabet’s Google.

Similar to those app stores, OpenAI’s GPT Store will let users see the most popular and trending chatbots on a leaderboard and search for them by category. In a blog post announcing the rollout, OpenAI said that people have made 3 million custom chatbots thus far, though it was not clear how many were available through its store at launch.

The store’s launch comes as OpenAI works to build out its ecosystem of services and find new sources of revenue. On Wednesday, OpenAI also announced a new paid ChatGPT tier for companies with smaller teams that starts at $25 (roughly Rs. 2,100) a month per user. OpenAI first launched a corporate version of ChatGPT with added features and privacy safeguards in August.

Exploring Integration of Neurological AI with Technologies Like Web3, QX Lab AI Co-Founder Says

QX Lab AI is attempting to take on offerings like Gemini and ChatGPT from tech giants like Google and OpenAI by integrating new functionality into its own AI service. Created by three Indian founders, this AI startup recently unveiled its generative AI platform named ‘Ask Qx’. What differentiates this platform from its competitors is that Ask QX is 70 percent ‘neurologically trained,’ according to the company. The UAE-based company has now revealed that it is planning to add support for Web3 technology to Ask Qx.

Earlier this month, QX Lab AI launched Ask QX, a service capable of generating AI-based responses to prompts in over 100 languages. In the coming months, the use of this AI with crypto and metaverse are subjects that the company is working on adding support for.

“We are investigating potential synergies that could offer enhanced security, privacy, and decentralised control, which are foundational to Web3. Integration of our neurologically trained AI algorithm with Web3 is currently in the exploratory phase,” said Tathagat Prakash, Co-Founder of QX Lab AI and chief scientist behind Ask Qx, in conversation with Gadgets360.

Presently, Web3 protocols are at a risk of being breached by malicious users. Web3 players working on projects related to metaverse and crypto are laying special focus on ensuring that their projects are protected with multiple layers of security to protect their users and investors and prevent them from exiting the ecosystem, fearing losses.

Ask QX, as per its chief scientist, is equipped with a multi-layer security strategy to make its general use, as well as its integration with Web3, as secure as possible.

“To protect against sophisticated cyber threats, we have state-of-the-art encryption, continuous security audits, and the use of advanced anomaly detection systems,” said Prakash. These systems in place are trained to pre-emptively identify and neutralise potential breaches.

In recent times, several companies have explored the potential of merging metaverse and AI technologies to make the former more immersive and responsive to the end users. AI can help design and personalise digital environments, enhance virtual collaboration, and maintain smart contracts to finetune the metaverse technology, that is rapidly gaining prominence in the global gaming industry.

While the market cap of the AI sector is projected to reach the valuation of $738.80bn by 2030, the metaverse market is estimated to reach $1,303.4 billion in the next six years.

The increasing use of these new age technologies, however, have given rise to several environment-related concerns. The large scale of computer power that is needed to run and maintain these operations is resulting in substantially high influx of carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases.

Addressing these concerns, Prakash said that QX Labs AI is ‘pioneering’ a unique architecture designed for environmental sustainability. “We aim to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our AI operations by optimising model efficiency, leveraging cutting-edge techniques in model compression and using energy-efficient computing,” he noted.

OpenAI Implements New Watermarking Technology in AI-Generated Images by DALL-E 3

OpenAI has announced that it will add watermark to the metadata of the artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images created by DALL-E 3. The company stated that it will now use the open technical standard adopted by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), and add the information that the image was generated by AI, the name of the AI tool, and the name of the app used to create the image in its metadata. The move comes as Meta announced that AI firms need to adopt a common standard to help detection tools identify and label AI content on its social media platforms.

In a post, OpenAI revealed the move, as well as technical details around it. It said that images generated with ChatGPT on the Web client and API, which uses the DALL-E 3 model, will now contain a new metadata as per the C2PA standard. The same watermark process will be rolled out to the ChatGPT app by February 12. C2PA standard is a specific watermarking technology which adds a stamp on the image itself and embeds the information inside the image as well. As a result, a CR symbol can be seen on the top left of the image and a detailed version can be checked in its metadata.

Through the metadata, users can check the origins of the image, including information on the AI model and the app used to create it. In the examples shared by OpenAI, the metadata shows a content summary which says, “This image was created with an AI tool.” A separate tab for Process shows whether an API, Web client, or ChatGPT was used, in addition to showing the underlying AI model. As per the company, adding the metadata may slightly increase the size of the image, but there will be no effect on the quality.

While this makes the image more secure than just a visual marker, there are still ways to bypass it. OpenAI highlighted that many social media platforms remove the metadata from uploaded image, and taking a screenshot of the image will also remove it. Therefore, this method may not be enough to determine if an image was indeed created by DALL-E 3 or other AI models.

C2PA includes companies such as Adobe, Microsoft, BBC, Sony, Leica, Nikon, and more. It has been pushing for the adoption of this technology as a method to detect and correctly label AI-generated content. The CR symbol, created by Adobe, was also given by the same group.

AI Investments Help Microsoft Reach $3 Trillion Market Value, Second to Apple

Microsoft’s stock market value crossed the $3 trillion (roughly Rs. 2,49,35,925 crore) milestone for the first time on Wednesday, retaining its place as the world’s second most valuable company, just behind Apple.

Microsoft and Apple shares have been vying for the top spot as the most capitalized stock on Wall Street since the start of the year, with the iPhone maker briefly losing its crown to the software giant earlier in January.

Shares of Microsoft hit a record high of $405.63, up 1.7 percent, enabling it to breach the $3 trillion market capitalization level. But it later closed at $402.56, valuing Microsoft at $2.99 trillion, just below the threshold price of $403.65 that would have kept it above $3 trillion.

Apple’s shares pared earlier gains and closed down 0.35 percent at $194.50, giving it a market value of $3 trillion, according to LSEG data.

Backed by its investment in ChatGPT maker OpenAI, Microsoft is widely seen as a frontrunner in the race for market dominance in the rollout of generative artificial intelligence (AI) among other tech heavyweights, including Google owner Alphabet, Amazon.com, Oracle, and Facebook owner Meta Platforms.

Using OpenAI’s technology, Microsoft has rolled out newer versions of its flagship productivity software products as well as its Bing search engine, which is expected to better compete with Google’s dominant search offering.

Apple, on the other hand, is facing slowing demand for its iPhones, particularly in China, where the company is offering customers rare discounts to boost sales amid stiff competition from homegrown rivals such as Huawei Technologies.

“I think it’s AI optimism for Microsoft,” said Stifel analyst Brad Reback, adding that Apple doesn’t seem to have the same “clear AI story” coupled with concerns about iPhone sales growth rates and penetration.

The 54 analysts covering Microsoft’s stock have a median price target of $425, up from $415 a month ago, and their average recommendation is “buy”, according to LSEG data.

Buoyed by AI optimism, Microsoft shares gained nearly 57 percent in 2023 and are up 7 percent this year. Apple’s stock rose by 48 percent last year and is up about 1 percent year-to-date.

Wall Street’s run-up to record highs will be put to the test in the coming weeks as megacap US technology-related companies begin reporting results.

OpenAI Launches GPT Store With Access to Custom Chatbots for Paying Subscribers

OpenAI has launched an online store where people can share customized versions of the company’s popular ChatGPT chatbot, after initially delaying the rollout because of leadership upheaval last year. The new store, which rolled out Wednesday to paid ChatGPT users, will corral the chatbots that users create for a variety of tasks, for example a version of ChatGPT that can teach math to a child or come up with colorful cocktail recipes. The product, called the GPT Store, will include chatbots that users have chosen to share publicly. It will eventually introduce ways for people to make money from their creations — much as they might through the app stores of Apple Inc. or Alphabet Inc.’s Google.

Similar to those app stores, OpenAI’s GPT Store will let users see the most popular and trending chatbots on a leaderboard and search for them by category. In a blog post announcing the rollout, OpenAI said that people have made 3 million custom chatbots thus far, though it was not clear how many were available through its store at launch.

The store’s launch comes as OpenAI works to build out its ecosystem of services and find new sources of revenue. On Wednesday, OpenAI also announced a new paid ChatGPT tier for companies with smaller teams that starts at $25 a month per user. OpenAI first launched a corporate version of ChatGPT with added features and privacy safeguards in August.

People who pay for ChatGPT access — including enterprise customers and ChatGPT Plus subscribers — are eligible to use or make custom GPTs. Initially users won’t be able to profit off their chatbots, OpenAI said. But within the first three months of the year the company will share details on how people can make money from them. The company said in its blog post that people in the US will be paid “based on user engagement” with their chatbots.

OpenAI originally said it planned to introduce the store in late November, but delayed the rollout to this year, citing interruptions caused by the ousting and reinstatement of Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman in November.

The startup will feature new GPTs each week. At the time of its launch, the chatbots it highlighted included one from the company Canva that helps people design logos, flyers and other media, and another that recommends recreational hiking trails.

ChatGPT Maker OpenAI Says It’s Talking With Dozens of Publishers to License Content Amid NYT Lawsuit

OpenAI said it’s talking to dozens of publishers about striking deals to license their articles, a broader effort than was previously known as the startup looks for content to train its artificial intelligence models.

“We are in the middle of many negotiations and discussions with many publishers. They are active. They are very positive. They’re progressing well,” Tom Rubin, OpenAI’s chief of intellectual property and content, told Bloomberg News. “You’ve seen deals announced, and there will be more in the future.”

OpenAI recently inked a multiyear licensing deal with Politico’s parent company Axel Springer SE for tens of millions of dollars, a person familiar with the matter previously told Bloomberg. In July, OpenAI announced an agreement with The Associated Press for an undisclosed amount. These deals are key to OpenAI’s future as it’s balancing the need for updated, accurate data to build its models with growing scrutiny about where that data is sourced from.

But last week, one of the companies it had been in talks with, The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft for using the publication’s articles without permission.

The suit poses an existential challenge to OpenAI’s business. If the Times wins the case, OpenAI may not only owe billions of dollars, but could also be forced to destroy any of its training data that includes work from the Times, a costly and complicated task. More immediately, however, the lawsuit complicates OpenAI’s deal-making efforts with the media industry.

“The current situation is vastly different than the situations that the publishers faced in the past with search engines and social media,” Rubin said. “Here, the content is used for training a model. It’s not used to reproduce the content. It’s not used to replace the content.”

The Times, however, disagrees with OpenAI’s stance, arguing that ChatGPT is flat out copying its journalists’ work without paying for it. In its lawsuit, the publisher showed examples in which ChatGPT spit out entire paragraphs of nearly verbatim text from The New York Times (although some have pointed out that in certain examples, it was specifically prompting ChatGPT to reproduce Times content). The publisher argues that’s proof OpenAI used New York Times data.

“If Microsoft and OpenAI want to use our work for commercial purposes, the law requires that they first obtain our permission,” The New York Times said in a statement. “They have not done so.”
