We got a first look at the much-anticipated big new language model from OpenAI. But this time how it works is even more deeply under wraps.

OpenAI has finally unveiled GPT-4, its next-generation large language model. Its last surprise hit, ChatGPT, was always going to be a hard act to follow, but the San Francisco–based company has made GPT-4 even bigger and better.

A group of over 1,000 AI researchers has created a multilingual large language model bigger than GPT-3—and they’re giving it out for free.

Yet how much bigger and why it’s better, OpenAI won’t say. GPT-4 is the most secretive release the company has ever put out, marking its full transition from nonprofit research lab to for-profit tech firm.

“That’s something that, you know, we can’t really comment on at this time,” said OpenAI’s chief scientist, Ilya Sutskever, when I spoke to the GPT-4 team in a video call an hour after the announcement. “It’s pretty competitive out there.”

Access to GPT-4 will be available to users who sign up to the waitlist and for subscribers of the premium paid-for ChatGPT Plus in a limited, text-only capacity.
