The creators of ChatGPT have revealed a new model they say is even more powerful than that already viral system.

The new tool, GPT-4, is available in some versions of ChatGPT and to paying customers of OpenAI, the company that created both systems.

OpenAI says the new tool includes a range of upgrades on that existing system: it is able to accept images as an input, is more creative, “hallucinates” much less and is less biased, said OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman. The new system is able to pass a bar exam and scores top marks on AP exams.

But it is also “still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it”, Mr Altman said.

  • 'We're all Chinese': Ex Taiwan president in China

    STORY: One of the former presidents of Taiwan is making a historic trip to China, becoming the first past or current Taiwanese leader to visit since the 1949 civil war between them.But the trip, which is being billed as an effort to lessen their worsening hostilities, is also being condemned by the political party that rules Taiwan - which is questioning why former President Ma Ying-jeou has decided to visit now.This was the start of Ma's trip in Nanjing, China on Tuesday (March 28). He's talking about shared ethnicity."People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are Chinese people, and are both descendants of the Yan and Yellow Emperors. Today, many of the nation-building proposals held dear by the founding father of the country have been realized in Taiwan and the mainland.”Ma was visiting the burial site of Sun Yat-sen, who is celebrated by both sides for overthrowing the last Chinese emperor in 1911. Sun is also considered the founder of the Republic of China, the government that was driven onto Taiwan by Communists during the civil war. Taiwan's official name is the Republic of China to this day.Polls suggest that most modern day Taiwanese people do not identify as Chinese though.Ma's visit is part of an outreach effort by the political party he belongs to, the opposition party called Kuomintang, which traditionally favors close relations with China but strongly denies being pro-Beijing.He is not scheduled to meet with any senior Beijing leaders on the trip.

  • CCTV shows ex-student Nashville shooting suspect

    STORY: Police have released chilling CCTV footage of the suspect in Monday's (March 27) mass shooting at a school in Nashville, Tennessee.The heavily-armed assailant is first seen blasting through glass doors with gunfire,and then roaming the halls of the private Christian school, pointing a semi-automatic rifle.Three children and three adult staff were killed.Police have identified the suspect as Audrey Elizabeth Hale - a resident of the Nashville area who they say used to attend The Covenant School - where the attack happened. Police chief, John Drake, said the suspect identified as transgender but provided no further clarity.He also added that the motive was not immediately known, but the suspect had drawn detailed maps of the school."And, no motive at this point? Anything discovered in the apartment or house?""No, we have a manifesto. We have some writings that we're going over that pertain to this day, the actual incident. We have a map drawn out of how this was all going to take place. There's, right now, a theory of that that we may be able to talk about later, but it's not confirmed."Drake later told NBC News that investigators believe the shooting stemmed from "some resentment" the suspect harbored "for having to go to that school" as a younger person.He said the school was singled out for attack but the individual victims were targeted at random.Reacting to the shooting in Washington, President Joe Biden urged lawmakers to do more to tackle gun violence and has called on Congress to pass an assault weapons ban.“... It's ripping our communities apart, ripping the soul of this nation. Ripping the very soul of the nation... So I call on Congress again to pass my assault weapons ban.”A Nashville church held memorial service for the victims of the massacre on Monday night.And outside the school people have started to lay flowers, balloons, and teddy bears.Local residents have spoken of their shock at the attack - just the latest in an epidemic of mass gun violence.
