Microsoft has quietly made a significant move in the AI-powered chatbot space. The tech giant has upgraded the free version of its Copilot chatbot with OpenAI’s groundbreaking GPT-4 Turbo model. This change marks a considerable boost in conversational AI capabilities for all Copilot users.
What is GPT-4 Turbo?
GPT-4 Turbo is OpenAI’s latest and most advanced large language model (LLM). Compared to its predecessor, GPT-4, this enhanced version features:
- Expanded Knowledge Cut-off: GPT-4 Turbo draws from a wider knowledge base, with information up to April 2023. This means more accurate and relevant responses on a range of topics.
- Extended Context Window: An increased context window of 128,000 tokens empowers GPT-4 Turbo to process and understand more complex conversations and requests.
- Improved Functionality: Turbo boasts improved reasoning, critical thinking, and overall output quality.
What This Means for Copilot Users
This upgrade translates into numerous benefits for Copilot users, both free and Pro subscribers:
- Enhanced Responses: Expect Copilot to provide more insightful and comprehensive answers thanks to its upgraded capabilities. You’ll likely notice more creative, accurate, and helpful responses.
- Seamless Conversations: Enjoy even smoother and more natural interactions with Copilot. The extended context window enables a better understanding of complex or nuanced questions and topics.
- The Edge Over ChatGPT: Copilot’s free version now leverages a model many consider superior to the one currently powering the free version of ChatGPT.
If you use Copilot’s free tier, you should automatically have access to GPT-4 Turbo in Creative Mode. You can try it out right now and experience the power of this upgraded model in your conversations.
Copilot Pro users retain the option to toggle between GPT-4 Turbo and the standard GPT-4 model. This can be useful if you prefer the stability of GPT-4 for specific tasks.
Microsoft’s move to introduce GPT-4 Turbo to Copilot’s free tier highlights the ever-evolving realm of AI chatbots. As these technologies continue to mature, we can anticipate even more intelligent, helpful, and accessible AI companions that support our productivity and creativity in exciting new ways!
