Every time ChatGPT-3 answers a question for a human, it learns something from the interaction to improve.

The New York Times suggested it could arrive in the first quarter of this year, which means ChatGPT-4 may land on a device near you by the end of the month.

How is it more powerful?

It will be an evolution instead of a revolution, according to analysts.

However, it will be more powerful.

According to Microsoft Germany’s chief technology officer, Andreas Braun, the company “will introduce GPT-4 next week, where we will have multimodal models that will offer completely different possibilities – for example, videos.”
