GPT-4, AI language model by OpenAI
GPT4, the most recent release of OpenAI’s large language model, which powers popular apps like ChatGPT and the new Bing, has been announced. According to San Francisco-based research company OpenAI, GPT-4 is more advanced than the previous version and has been trained on more data, costing more to operate.
GPT-4, AI language model by OpenAI: Key Points
As per the company GPT4 “can tackle challenging issues with better accuracy” and is “more creative and collaborative than ever before.”
In assignments involving creative and technical writing, GPT-4 can generate, revise, and iterate with users. The new launched model can react to both text and graphics.
GPT-4 may produce analyses, classifications, and captions.
Additionally, GPT-4 can handle 25,000 words of text, allowing for prolonged chats, content creation, and document search and analysis.
According to San Francisco-based, OpenAI, the newly launched model will generate less factually wrong responses.
In fact, the business asserts that GPT-4 outperforms humans on numerous benchmark tests.
For instance, according to OpenAI, GPT-4 scored at the 90th percentile on a mock bar exam, the 93rd percentile on a SAT reading test, and the 89th percentile on a SAT math test.
The corporation is aware of GPT-4’s drawbacks, such as “social biases,” “hallucinations,” and “adversarial cues,” though.
Is GPT4 better than the other versions?
The GPT-4 isn’t a significant improvement over GPT-3.5 and refers to the new edition of its main large language model as being more iterative.
The distinction between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 can be difficult to make in informal speech.
When the difficulty of the task reaches a certain level, GPT-4 distinguishes itself from GPT-3.5 by being more dependable, inventive, and capable of handling far more complex instructions.
What does the term GPT stand for?
Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) is a deep learning method that uses artificial neural networks to generate writing that resembles that of a person.
“GPT-4” refers to the fourth release of OpenAI’s software, which stands for “generative pre-trained transformer 4”.
It has studied enormous quantities of data from the internet to produce writing that resembles human speech and offer in-depth responses to users’ inquiries.
GPT-4, a recently created language model by OpenAI, can produce text that closely matches human speech.
The current ChatGPT, which is based on the GPT-3.5 technology, has been upgraded with this most recent version.
In three key areas, namely creativity, visual comprehension, and context handling, OpenAI asserts that GPT-4 is more evolved.
In terms of developing and working with users on creative ideas, GPT-4 is claimed to be noticeably more creative than its predecessor. This applies to everything from music to screenplays to technical writing to changing the writing style of the user.
The ability of GPT-4 to handle lengthier context has also been boosted by OpenAI in addition to creativity and visual input.
Up to 25,000 words of text from the user can now be processed by the new language model, and it can even interact with text from a user-provided web link. Long-form content creation and “extended dialogues” can be facilitated by this improved capacity.
The ability of GPT-4 to interact with images has also been improved. On their website, OpenAI gives a sample in which a chatbot is shown a picture of baking ingredients and asks what may be produced with them. If GPT-4 can similarly handle video is unknown.
Finally, according to OpenAI, GPT-4 is safer to employ than its forerunner. The company claims that after thorough testing, it can produce 40% more accurate results than the prior edition. In addition, it is 82% less likely to create stuff that is abusive or unsuitable.
What’s happening with Microsoft Bing AI and ChatGPT?
Microsoft Azure, a platform owned by the Redmond behemoth, was reportedly used by penAI to train the model.
The well-known chatbot ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing AI conversation are both powered by OpenAI’s GPT model. Microsoft recently acknowledged the usage of GPT-4 in the new Bing AI chatbot following months of rumours.
The new model will be accessible to paying ChatGPT subscribers who pay OpenAI’s $20 monthly subscription fee as well as through an API that enables developers to incorporate the AI into their applications. OpenAI claims to have already established partnerships with several businesses to include GPT-4 into their products, including Duolingo, Stripe, and Khan Academy.
Is this the era of AI?
Over the past few months, the race for AI dominance has picked up steam as both Microsoft and Google have entered the arena. The generative AI will build the foundation for a variety of upcoming goods.
When ChatGPT was first presented by OpenAI in November, it quickly became popular. Google is in a difficult position as a result of Microsoft’s interest in generative AI and its investment in OpenAI.
The dominant player in Silicon Valley has come under pressure to fully include AI capabilities in its key programmes, like Gmail and Docs.
Banks from 18 countries get RBI’s nod to trade in rupee: Centre in RS
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has permitted banks from 18 countries to open Special Vostro Rupee Accounts (SVRAs) to settle payments in rupees.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has permitted banks from 18 countries to open Special Vostro Rupee Accounts (SVRAs) to settle payments in rupees, the government said. Speaking in Rajya Sabha, Union Minister of State for Finance Bhagwat Kishanrao Karad said that 60 such approvals have been given by the RBI.
Here are the 18 Countries which get RBI’s Nod:
These 18 nations include Botswana, Fiji, Germany, Guyana, Israel, Kenya, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, New Zealand, Oman, Russia, Seychelles, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda and the United Kingdom.
India and The Special Vostro Rupee Accounts (SVRAs):
The process of SVRAs began in July 2022 when the RBI announced that, “it has been decided to put in place an additional arrangement for invoicing, payment, and settlement of exports/imports in INR [Indian rupees]”.
The announcement came against the backdrop of the commodities crisis triggered by the Western sanctions against Russia after President Vladimir Putin launched the “special military operation” against Ukraine in February 2022.
Trade in local currencies have been mooted as a solution to avoid the current wave of wartime international sanctions that are hampering supply chains and global trade flows.
What is a Vostro Account:
A vostro account is an account that domestic banks hold for foreign banks in the former’s domestic currency, in this case, the rupee.
Domestic banks use it to provide international banking services to their clients who have global banking needs.
The SRVA is an additional arrangement to the existing system that uses Freely convertible currencies and works as a complimentary system.
The existing systems require maintaining balances and position in such currencies like US dollar and pound to facilitate trade.

In addition to Ukraine, Boosteroid also has gamers in the United States, the United Kingdom and EU countries.
SIPRI report 2023: India world’s largest arms importer
India is still the world's largest importer of military equipment, despite an 11% decline in arms purchases between 2013–17 and 2018–22, according to a study by the Sipri 2023.
SIPRI report 2023
India is still the world’s largest importer of military equipment, despite an 11% decline in arms purchases between 2013–17 and 2018–22, according to a study by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri). The report is released at a time when India has intensified its efforts to become self-reliant in the defence manufacturing sector. This year’s defence budget included about Rs 1 lakh crore for domestic purchases, compared to Rs 84,598 crore, Rs 70,221 crore, and Rs 51,000 crore in the three years prior.
SIPRI report 2023: Overview of the news
According to data published by the think tank that tracks weapons imports over a five-year period, India had the biggest percentage of the world’s arms imports in the past five years at 11%, followed by Saudi Arabia (9.6%), Qatar (6.4%), Australia (4.7%), and China (4.7%).
The most recent report supports the findings of the Sipri report from last year. India remained still the world’s top importer of weaponry in 2022, despite a 21% decline in imports between 2012–16 and 2017–21, according to the report. A cumbersome procurement process and efforts to replace imports with local products, according to the latest research, were among the causes of the drop in India’s imports.
Over the last four to five years, India has implemented a variety of steps to increase defence self-reliance. Among them are setting up a separate budget to purchase military equipment made in-country, increasing foreign direct investment from 49% to 74%, and notifying foreign governments of the hundreds of weapons and systems that will be produced domestically over the next five to six years but cannot be imported.
SIPRI report 2023: Globally
In the past five years, the US exported 40% of all military goods worldwide, followed by Russia (16%), France (11%), China (5.2%), and Germany (4.2%), according to new Sipri data. From 2013–17 and 2018–22, American armament exports increased 14% while those of Russia decreased 31%. India imported 37% fewer goods from Russia.
According to Sipri, Ukraine was the 14th largest importer of major weaponry in 2018–2022 and the third largest in 2022.
According to the research, France’s arms exports increased by 44% between 2013 and 2018 and received 30% of them from India over the previous five years, surpassing the US to become India’s second-largest arms supplier after Russia.
