The company’s most advanced AI chatbot has knowledge of world events up to April 2023, compared with 2021 for GPT-4; it can analyse even longer prompts of up to 128,000 tokens or roughly the length of a 300-page book; it's better at following instructions; and can automatically switch between tools, including the Dall-E 3 image generator and Bing search engine, based on user requests.
Another attendee, Iba Masood, the founder of a Y Combinator-backed AI startup, said that Altman also discussed how GPT-5 and 6 were superior to their predecessors.
However, Altman has previously said it would be hard to predict the model's new capabilities and skills until its training had begun.
Altman had previously quashed rumours that the firm was training the new AI model in March and June.
Altman said that the next ChatGPT still fell short of artificial general intelligence, according to Masood and Shams.
