π Great overview of the GPT-4 Launch.
The following blog article highlights the best of the GPT-4 paper: significant improvements in code generation, standardized test performance, and reasoning from imagery. The language model can generate code in less than 60 seconds and outperforms GPT-3. However, it still performs poorly at the Leetcode tests. It will definitely empower even more people who do not have a lot of programming skills.
Anita shared that GPT-4 can turn a napkin sketch into a website, code a Discord bot, and make drug discovery. You can try GPT-4 with ChatGPT Plus or the BeMyEyes app. API access is on the waiting list or through Evals. Pricing ranges from $0.03 to $0.12 per 1k tokens. GPT-4's model size and technical details are not disclosed due to competition. However, it still has limitations like unreliability, lack of knowledge after September 2021, and unmitigated "jailbreak" options.

LLMs are infinity app stores in a box.
With time you will not need to download others apps, you will just build your own highly customized app for your specific purpose simply by describing your problem or task.
The apps and GUI will be created as a byproduct.
