OpenAI just announced a new update to GPT-4o, bringing several improvements that supposedly make it “a smarter model across the board with more up-to-date knowledge” with a “deeper understanding and analysis of image uploads.”
Okay, but what does that mean? Well, one of the biggest gains is that ChatGPT will now be better at solving problems in STEM subjects (i.e., science, technology, engineering, math, and programming). That’s a pretty substantial step forward if you rely on ChatGPT to help you with things like coding and cross-domain problems.
GPT-4o has been updated with newer training data, so it can now reference source material up to June 2024. That means ChatGPT should now be able to give you more context around newer and more recent trends, as well as improve the chatbot’s web search results.
As for images, ChatGPT is now better at understanding the images you upload. For example, it should be able to give you better design advice and better analyze complex charts and graphs.
And one last (weird) cherry on top, ChatGPT will be more “enthusiastic” in its usage of emojis, especially if you use emojis in your own prompts and responses while conversing with it.
