Microsoft Bing Chat has started using GPT-4, OpenAI's super artificial intelligence

In a recent post on personal Twitter, Yusuf Mehdi, Vice President and Head of Consumer Marketing at Microsoft, officially confirmed that the company's AI chatbot Bing Chat, is indeed running on GPT-4, the session. ChatGPT version has also just been announced by OpenAI. This announcement was further confirmed by a post on the Bing blog site.

Previously, Microsoft only said that Bing Chat was using the company's self-developed Prometheus model, and supporting "next-generation OpenAI big language model". Therefore, the above statement has immediately created a new trend of discussion that is extremely exciting in the Bing user community, simply because GPT-4 is currently dubbed the world's leading super AI.

During the announcement event of GPT-4 on March 14, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that the new artificial intelligence model is improved towards creativity and less bias than its predecessor GPT-3.5. The CEO emphasized that this is the most advanced AI technology ever, trained using human feedback combined with deep learning technology. The leading advantage of GPT-4 lies in its ability to process input data including images, allowing users to interact with many modes. Accepting input images and outputting text is an unprecedented feature, which is appreciated for giving users more options to be creative.

In addition, GPT-4 has a series of "superpowers" that AI systems cannot currently achieve. This AI model has achieved human-level performance across various academic and professional standards, being able to instantly get into college without exam preparation or pass 90% of the bar exam.

Back to Bing Chat. Microsoft has only recently revealed that GPT-4 for Bing Chat has been "customized for web search purposes". No other word yet, including when Microsoft might add the image-text compositing feature introduced by OpenAI.
