OpenAI has announced that free ChatGPT users now have access to custom GPTs created by others as well as the ability to ask questions about photos, analyse charts and other features added with GPT-4o in early May.
GPT-4o “provides GPT-4 level intelligence, but it’s much faster and improves on capabilities across text, vision and audio”. “The special thing about GPT-4o is it brings GPT-4 level intelligence to everyone, including our free users,” said OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati. “This is the first time we’re making a huge step forward when it comes to ease of use.”
Features like model and web responses, data analytics and chart creations were available to paid users (ChatGPT Plus, Teams, and Enterprise) but these will now be available to anyone using ChatGPT.
Free ChatGPT users can discover and use custom GPTs but will not be allowed to create their own. Custom versions of ChatGPT include an on-demand thesaurus to an Ikea shopping guide.
Meanwhile, it appears that OpenAI may have struck a deal with Apple to bring AI technology and advances to the iPhones via an iOS 18 update, reports Bloomberg.
