Did you notice ChatGPT acting differently lately? You’re not imagining things. OpenAI quietly rolled out a tiny update to its popular AI chatbot.
The company recently confirmed on social media that a new version of GPT-4 o, the model powering ChatGPT, was released without any fanfare. Users have reported faster, more creative responses from the AI assistant.
While most changes are small tweaks, this appears to be a significant leap forward in ChatGPT’s capabilities.
So, what exactly changed? OpenAI is keeping the details under wraps for now.
But if you’re a regular ChatGPT user, you may want to put the upgraded model through its paces and see what new tricks it has learned.
What’s new with ChatGPT?
ChatGPT got an upgrade last week. OpenAI released a new GPT-4o model without much fanfare. They just posted about it on social media, telling users to try it out.
This quiet release led to lots of guessing online. Some think it’s a bigger version of GPT-4o with more abilities. But that’s not likely. If it was a brand new model, OpenAI would probably have made a big announcement. Like they always do.
So unfortunately, this isn’t GPT-4.5
OpenAI often tests new models in the LMSys chatbot arena. Users rate two chatbots without knowing which is which. A popular bot there may have been this GPT-4o update.
The lack of details from OpenAI makes it hard to know what’s changed. But you can try the new model yourself to see if you notice any differences. OpenAI thinks you’ll like the changes, even if they’re not saying what they are.
