OpenAI ChatGPT and GPT-4 2024 Updates Event: What’s Launching?

OpenAI is hosting ChatGPT and GPT-4 Spring 2024 Updates event on Monday, May 13 to launch new products and performance improvements to the existing models. Let’s take a look at the current speculations running around this showcase.

CEO, Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman denied speculations of launching GPT-5 at this event. So, it won’t be a matter of discussion at this time.

Search Engine

Bloomberg reported that OpenAI is working on a new Google search competitor, a sort of search engine. The company has been working on this new product for quite some time. This search engine will get a direct integration of ChatGPT models for generative AI features.

Furthermore, the company has registered the domain “search.chatgpt.com” showing a “not found” message. This search tool is expected to equip Microsoft’s Bing engine and the domain might go online after the event.

While promoting the new event on social media site X, Altman refused that the new product is “not a search engine”. Despite these refusals, the event’s timing is questionary as it prepares to steal attention from Google’s annual I/O 2024 conference scheduled for the next day (May 14, 2024).

AI Assistant

The Information says the AI firm could reveal a new multimodal AI Assistant with voice and image recognition features. It suggests that this new tech will compete against Google Assistant and Apple’s Siri, two of the top voice assistants in mobile devices.

More on this confirms that the AI model will offer improved accuracy in image and audio compared to OpenAI’s existing models. Some features of this AI Assistant include accurate transcription and real-time sign recognition.

Improved GPT

OpenAI will bring new updates to ChatGPT and GPT-4 models. The company could advance its capabilities in logical reasoning compared to other models. There may be new improvements in cloud-side processing for fast responses.

Last but not least, we may see new additions in other OpenAI products such as image generation tools and maybe the Sora generative video tool. OpenAI will livestream ChatGPT and GPT-4 updates event at 10 AM PT, check more details here.
