The new models, released in July 2024, have multimodal capabilities , unlike GPT-4 . This means that you can input images that the AI technology will then process as part of the task assigned to it
Although the GPT-4 model also has the ability to process images, the newer models have more sophisticated capabilities and will even be europe dataset expanded to include video and audio input in the future . This means users benefit from more versatility in how AI processes data.
Apart from the multimodal capabilities, the newer models and the GPT-4 model do not differ much in terms of functionality. For example, you can use GPT-4 and GPT-4o for the following applications :
solving mathematical problems
Chat: Have human-like conversations
analysis of texts
text generation
image analysis (more limited in GPT-4)
image creation
research
Coding (e.g. developing programs)
There is also an API as a programming interface for developers . If developers have access to the GPT API, they can integrate artificial intelligence into their development environment. This makes it easier for them to program their own applications or use AI for specific tasks (e.g. data analysis).
The cost efficiency of OpenAI's API offering has increased significantly with the new models - more quality at a lower price! The pricing of GPT-4, from which developers benefit, is discussed in more detail in the next section.
If you don't have access to the API, you can use the AI model via the ChatGPT chatbot - this is what all users do who have no IT knowledge and only use the chatbot for chat, research, text generation or similar tasks. You can get a good impression of how the chat works with ChatGPT-4 and ChatGPT-4o in our ChatGPT tool .
