In addition to releasing new models with improved AI, OpenAI also routinely upgrades the base AI model that most people chat with regularly. That’s GPT-4o, the model OpenAI launched last May with multimodal support, which is the ability to handle all sorts of data in a prompt in addition to text.
Upgrading the base model is always good news. It should lead to better performance for your regular chats with the AI, though OpenAI isn’t always that transparent about those improvements.
Take late Friday’s mysterious GPT-4o upgrade, which Sam Altman detailed on X succinctly: “we updated GPT-4o today! improved both intelligence and personality.” Great stuff, but how did you improve it and why? What are some objective tests that can measure the claims?
Well, no matter, because whatever OpenAI did to improve ChatGPT, everybody hates it. Over the weekend, plenty of examples flooded social media, showing ChatGPT behaving even more like a sycophant than ever before. Apparently, the situation is so bad that OpenAI has been quick to announce that fixes are on the way.
