ChatGPT
GPT-4oChatGPT is produced by OpenAI and was made available to the public in November of 2022. ChatGPT gives people around the world the ability to employ the power of AI--it's probably an understatement to say it has been at once unbelievably astounding and empowering and scary. And it seems to be fostering the launch of a boom of new businesses and industries, just as the Internet did when it became publicly available in the early 1990's.
On May 14, 2024, OpenAI introduced GPT-4o (o for omni), which is an upgrade to ChatGPT that is free for all users, faster, and "reasons across voice, text, and vision"--it is "multimodal", which means you can upload videos, pictures or text, and that you can have conversations with it like you might with an expert advisor. They demonstrate many interesting use cases, ranging from mock interviews, to singing harmony to songs, to Sal Khan (founder of Khan Academy) and his son using it for math tutoring--and lots more are being explored and posted by others. They say that features will be rolled out over the next few weeks, with a new model (4.5 or 5 or whatever they decide to call it) expected towards the end of this year.
On September 12, 2024, OpenAI introduced OpenAI o1-preview and OpenAI 01-mini (with upgrades expected around year end), which was codenamed Strawberry. It seems to be built on top of GPT-4o, and offers advanced reasoning capabilities, for instance, it "scored 83% on a qualifying exam for the International Mathematics Olympiad, significantly outperforming GPT-4o, which scored only 13%." In addition to doing web searches and other analysis to test its answers, it seems to employ Chain-of-Thought prompting to arrive at better answers to complex questions. Users indicate that GPT-4o is still better for many responses, but OpenAI 01 is best for complex, even PhD quality, analysis.
The list of 195 countries in which it is available is here--ChatGPT says "in principle, it's available globally, but local regulations might affect accessibility in some regions."
