The company behind the viral chatbot ChatGPT has released the latest update to its software, which it says can ace a range of academic and professional tests, including the bar exam.
OpenAI announced on Tuesday that it was releasing GPT-4, the latest version of the software that powers ChatGPT.
The bot will now allow users to input images as well as texts to get responses to various requests and questions. The Microsoft-backed startup also announced that the new version of the chatbot is the same one being used by Microsoft in the Bing search engine as well as the financial tech company Stripe and the language learning software Duolingo.
GPT-4 “surpasses ChatGPT in its advanced reasoning capabilities,” the company said. It said the bot is faster, more creative, and receptive to a variety of inputs and requests.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that GPT-4 is “still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it” but that “it is more creative than previous models, it hallucinates significantly less, and it is less biased.”
He also said it can pass a bar exam and score a five on Advanced Placement exams.
Bing AI, which uses GPT-4, has attracted scrutiny after the bot offered jarring answers to specific questions or inputs. The AI even declared some users an “enemy” or told them to get a “better attitude.” Microsoft responded to these behaviors by limiting the number of queries and banning the bot from talking about itself.

Microsoft, which provided over $10 billion to OpenAI to help with bot development, fired one of the teams overseeing ethics questions around artificial intelligence on Monday.
As bots like GPT-4 grow more popular, some conservatives have spoken out about the bot being politically biased against them.
