OpenAI's popular language model, ChatGPT, has received a major upgrade with its August update, boasting six new features. These features combine to deliver an improved user experience and increased productivity. All users can now upload files to the platform, get suggested prompts, receive replies, and enjoy a more interactive interface. The tech company has also addressed previously reported UI issues and recognized the security challenges, thereby boosting the interface's effectiveness while expanding its overall functionality.
In a bid to make the language model more accessible, OpenAI has launched ChatGPT on both Android and iOS devices, which users can easily download from their respective app stores. Key features introduced in the update include suggested replies, keyboard shortcuts, and extended login durations. OpenAI has started rolling out the update, and it is projected to be accessible to all users soon. The intention is to optimize the experience by extending new features and improving overall usability.
Among the most notable features in this update is the ability for users to upload multiple files simultaneously, a function previously unavailable on OpenAI. This new provision avails the opportunity to synthesize insights using various datasets. Another feature is the suggested prompt screen that enables users to start creatively and initiate more engaging conversations. OpenAI's latest model, GPT-4, is now the default AI model in ChatGPT, saving users' time from having to change AI models constantly. ChatGPT now also remembers more of the user's conversation for better back-and-forth discussion. New keyboard shortcuts have also been introduced, aimed at boosting productivity and accessibility. The cost for ChatGPT Plus remains $20 per month.
