OpenAI’s August Update
The August update to ChatGPT marks a significant step in OpenAI’s commitment to enhancing user experience and expanding functionality. With improvements to the interface, security, and accessibility, the update is designed to make the platform more interactive and productive. Additionally, ChatGPT is now available on Android and iOS devices, downloadable from the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store.
Features in the August Update
Support Multiple-Upload Files
The new update allows users to upload multiple files simultaneously, a feature that was previously impossible on OpenAI. This enhancement is particularly useful for synthesizing insights across various datasets. Users can now upload up to ten files at once, enabling more in-depth analysis and data extraction.
Prompt Suggestion
To inspire creativity and ease the starting process, the update introduces suggested prompts. These examples are designed to make initiating a new chat less intimidating, providing users with a quick start towards more engaging conversations.
Suggested Replies
The addition of Suggested Replies seeks to enrich dialogue by offering pertinent options for follow-up discussions. This new element will help users explore topics in depth with a single click, making the engagement more interactive with the updated AI model that is more dynamic and versatile.
GPT-4 as the default AI model in ChatGPT
OpenAI’s GPT has reached the performance level of GPT-4, and this latest model is now the default in ChatGPT. With a restriction of 50 messages every three hours, this change will save users the hassle of switching models and add convenience. This new default is exclusive to ChatGPT Plus users.
Longer Follow-ups
The update enhances the flow of conversation by allowing ChatGPT to remember follow-up questions. This improvement over previous versions will enhance the user experience of back-and-forth questions and responses. It’s a functionality similar to what Microsoft Bing’s AI chatbot offers.
Longer Logged-In
With a redesigned login page, users can now stay logged in for longer durations. This change from the previous two-week limit provides more convenience for regular users of the platform.
ChatGPT Shortcut Key
To boost productivity, ChatGPT now includes keyboard shortcuts. Examples like Ctrl + Shift + C to copy a block make the platform more accessible and efficient.
Additional Information
ChatGPT Plus continues to be priced at $20 per month, offering faster-advanced modes, accuracy, and functionality. OpenAI faces competition from industry giants like Google’s Bar, Anthropic’s Cloud, and reportedly Meta’s upcoming AI chatbot. The company has also filed a GPT-5 trademark and plans to discontinue GPT-3 next year.
