OpenAI’s Sam Altman unveiled GPT-4 Turbo, their latest groundbreaking large language model, at the inaugural OpenAI DevDay. This new model is equipped with an extraordinary ability—it now comprehends images as input alongside text.
GPT-4 Turbo’s Enhanced Capabilities
GPT-4 Turbo is more capable than its predecessors. It can process a staggering context of up to 128,000 tokens or 100,000 words, making it the most up-to-date model with training data extended up to April 2023. In contrast, GPT-4’s context window is limited to 32,768 tokens. This breakthrough allows GPT-4 Turbo to digest an entire 300-page book in one go, making tasks like rewriting an entire novel in a single prompt a reality.
Cost-Effective Advantages
What makes GPT-4 Turbo even more appealing is its cost-efficiency. While GPT-4 comes at a price of $0.03 per 1000 tokens (input), GPT-4 Turbo is a more budget-friendly option, costing only $0.01 per 1000 tokens (input). This financial advantage empowers developers to harness the potential of this advanced model without breaking the bank.

Additionally, it boasts an enhanced text-to-speech model, capable of generating natural-sounding audio via an API featuring six preset voices.
Enhancing Developer Experience
To facilitate developers, OpenAI introduces the “JSON mode” for GPT-4 Turbo, streamlining output generation in a specific format.
Accessibility for Developers and Beyond
GPT-4 Turbo is accessible to developers through its API, starting immediately. In the coming weeks, it will also be available to the general public via the ChatGPT Plus subscription, priced at just $20 per month.
OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo is set to revolutionize the landscape of AI models, offering unprecedented capabilities, affordability, and versatility. This development promises to drive innovation and empower a new wave of creative applications for the future.
