Remember Microsoft Bing Chat, the company’s own GPT-powered AI chatbot? Some time ago, it was rebranded as Microsoft Copilot, and now, the technology giant’s artificial intelligence assistant has upgraded its free tier. The OpenAI model, GPT-4 Turbo, is now available for every Copilot user for free, which was previously limited to Pro users. To access OpenAI’s most capable language model, users need to select the Copilot conversation style in either creative or precise mode.
In addition to that, Copilot Pro users still have the option to switch back to older models if they choose to use the toggle. Informing about the same, Microsoft advertising and web services CEO Mikhail Parakhin shared a post on X and wrote, “After quite some work, GPT4-Turbo replaced GPT-4 in the Copilot free tier. Pro users can still choose the older model if they prefer (there is a toggle).”
“For free users of Copilot in Creative mode, GPT-4 Turbo is now powering that experience. Copilot Pro users remain able to toggle GPT-4 Turbo on or off in Creative mode,” a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed in a statement, reported CNET.
GPT-4 Turbo has been trained on data until April 2023 and can handle text-to-speech prompts. Its context window can take 128,000 tokens, the highest amount available in a GPT version. The more tokens a model can accept, the more text a user may enter into the model to provide additional context and improve the results.
Last year, Microsoft launched Copilot to integrate AI into its platforms and the AI assistant is available online and is also baked into Bing, Windows 11, the Edge browser and Microsoft 365. Copilot Pro costs $20 per month per user and includes more AI-powered features in Office apps, as well as priority access to new OpenAI models and improved image-creation tools. As per Microsoft, Copilot Pro will assist users with writing, coding, research, and even learning.
Is GPT-4.5 Turbo On The Cards?
OpenAI is rumoured to be developing a new model dubbed the GPT-4.5 Turbo. Although the technology giant has remained tight-lipped on future GPT iterations, Reddit users noticed earlier this week that OpenAI mistakenly published a blog post saying GPT-4.5 Turbo surpasses GPT-4 Turbo in speed, accuracy, and scalability, according to CNET.
The media outlet further added that while the blog article was shortly removed from the OpenAI website, it seems that an upgraded GPT model will be released soon. It also suggests that, if Microsoft intends to distinguish its Copilot versions by delivering the better model in its premium tier, the company may aim to introduce GPT-4.5 Turbo to Copilot Pro when the new model is released.
