OpenAI Unveils GPT-4 Turbo and New Developer Products at DevDay


OpenAI unveiled a suite of new models and developer products, headlined by the GPT-4 Turbo, boasting a massive 128K context window and reduced pricing. DevDay also introduced the new Assistants API, GPT-4 Turbo with Vision capabilities, DALL·E 3 API, and a host of other enhancements aimed at revolutionizing AI application development.

GPT-4 Turbo: A Game Changer OpenAI’s latest iteration, GPT-4 Turbo, marks a significant leap from its predecessor. Released in preview, this model is not only more capable, with knowledge extending up to April 2023, but also more economical, offering a 3x reduction in input token pricing and a 2x reduction in output token pricing. With a 128k context window, GPT-4 Turbo can process over 300 pages of text in a single prompt, providing unparalleled depth and breadth in AI interactions.

New Assistants API The newly released Assistants API simplifies the creation of assistive AI applications for developers. It allows for the building of AI assistants capable of setting goals and calling upon various models and tools. This innovation paves the way for more intuitive and efficient AI-assisted applications.

Multimodal Capabilities and Feature Enhancements OpenAI’s platform now includes multimodal capabilities, integrating vision, image creation (DALL·E 3), and text-to-speech (TTS) functions. Moreover, the function calling feature has been improved, allowing for multiple actions within a single message and enhancing the accuracy of function parameter returns.

Advancements in Instruction Following and JSON Mode GPT-4 Turbo shows improved performance in tasks requiring precise instruction following and supports a new JSON mode. This mode ensures the generation of valid JSON responses, a vital feature for developers working with the Chat Completions API.

Reproducible Outputs and Log Probabilities The introduction of the seed parameter in GPT-4 Turbo enables reproducible outputs, aiding in debugging, unit testing, and enhanced control over model behavior. Additionally, the forthcoming feature of log probabilities will assist in developing functionalities like autocomplete in search experiences.

Updated GPT-3.5 Turbo Complementing the GPT-4 Turbo, an updated version of GPT-3.5 Turbo has been released, now supporting a 16K context window and improved format following capabilities. This update offers developers enhanced flexibility and precision in AI-driven tasks.

Assistants API, Retrieval, and Code Interpreter The Assistants API represents a significant step in enabling developers to create sophisticated AI agents. It includes capabilities like Code Interpreter and Retrieval, streamlining the development process for high-quality AI applications. Assistants can now manage persistent and infinitely long threads, run Python code, and utilize external knowledge sources, broadening the scope of AI applications.

OpenAI’s DevDay announcements signify a major advancement in AI technology, offering developers more powerful tools and capabilities. The new GPT-4 Turbo, along with the Assistants API and other updates, are set to redefine the landscape of AI development, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation and efficiency.
