ChatGPT-maker OpenAI hosts its first big tech showcase as the AI startup faces growing competition
SAN FRANCISCO — Less than a year into its meteoric rise, the company behind ChatGPT unveiled the future it has in mind for its artificial intelligence technology on Monday, launching a new line of chatbot products that can be customized to a variety of tasks. At the event held in a cavernous former Honda dealership in OpenAI’s hometown of San Francisco, the company unveiled a new version called GPT-4 Turbo that it says is more capable and can retrieve information about world and cultural events as recent as April 2023 — unlike previous versions that couldn’t answer questions about anything after 2021. Altman was briefly joined on stage by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who said amid cheers from the audience “we love you guys.” In his comments, Nadella emphasized Microsoft’s role as a business partner using its data centers to give OpenAI the computing power it needs to build more advanced models. Asked for comment on the timing of Grok’s release by a reporter, Altman said “Elon’s gonna Elon.” Much of what OpenAI announced Monday was attempting to address the concerns of businesses looking to integrate ChatGPT-like technology into their operations, said Gartner analyst Arun Chandrasekaran. Getting cheaper products “was clearly one of the big asks,” as was being able to customize AI models to tap into an organization’s own internal data sources, Chandrasekaran said.
