To understand the buzz around GPT-4, it’s essential to know the differences between the old and new versions and explore their capabilities.

Inside the World of GPT-4?

If you’re lucky enough to have early GPT-4 access through OpenAI Playground, you’ll see a screen similar to the one below.

GPT-4 is available in the Model dropdown when you filter the mode to ‘Chat’.

There are a few known models of GPT-4, including GPT-4 and GPT-4-32k, and something else called GPT-4-0314. GPT-4-0314 won’t be updated after June 2023. Depending on your needs, if you want the most up-to-date information, it’s best to use GPT-4. However, some users may prefer a stable model without changes, making GPT-4-0314 a suitable choice.

As we dig deeper, we find significant differences between GPT-4 and GPT-4-32k, especially regarding context length. GPT-4-32k has an impressive context length of 32,768 tokens, four times greater than the base GPT-4 model.

Some unreleased GPT-4 versions can interpret images, and according to sources, the most advanced version can generate up to 25,000 words.

With 25,000 words, you can create a detailed thesis, an engaging novel, or an extensive document like a policy paper or business proposal. The possibilities for creating in-depth, impactful documents are vast with GPT-4.

GPT4: The Luxury Car of AI

If you haven’t had a chance to test the more advanced GPT-4 versions, you might feel disappointed when you first see the maximum token size in Playground is 2048. However, the real advantage lies in what you don’t see. GPT-4 is trained on 45 terabytes of data, far more than GPT-3’s 17 terabytes. Reports suggest GPT-4 has 1 trillion parameters, significantly more than GPT-3’s 175 billion parameters.

Simply put, it’s like comparing a compact car to a luxury car. Both can get you from point A to point B, but the luxury car has more power and better performance. Similarly, GPT-4’s increased data and parameters make it a more advanced language model. So, if you want the best AI experience, GPT-4 is worth the wait.

Key Differences Between GPT-4 and GPT-3.5

1. Number Verification API: In this example, we integrate the Number Verification API with GPT-3 to create an AI-driven virtual assistant that validates and retrieves phone number information, generating useful insights or recommendations. The function number_verification() takes an API key and a phone number, and it returns the validation result using the Number Verification API. The function generate_response() takes a prompt as input and generates a response using GPT-3.

The main part of the script fetches the validation result of the given phone number, combines it with a prompt, and then generates a response using GPT-3. The output of the script is a human-readable message about the phone number.

import openai

import requests

 

# Set up OpenAI API key

openai.api_key = “YOUR OPENAI API KEY”

 

# Define the function to verify a phone number using the Number Verification API

def number_verification(api_key, phone_number):

    url = f”https://api.apilayer.com/number_verification/validate?number={phone_number}”

    headers = {“apikey”: api_key}

    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

    validation_result = response.json()

    return validation_result

 

# Define the function to generate a response using GPT-3

def generate_response(prompt):

    response = openai.Completion.create(

      engine=”text-davinci-003″,

      prompt=prompt,

      max_tokens=500,

      n=1,

      stop=None,

      temperature=0.5,

    )

    return response.choices[0].text

 

# Main script

api_key = “YOUR NUMVERIFY KEY FROM APILAYER”

phone_number = “+353851641380” # replace with the desired phone number

validation_result = number_verification(api_key, phone_number)

prompt = f”Give a detailed view to the user of what carrier the following number belongs to, its trustpilot reputation and known facts about carrier and the location {phone_number}: {validation_result[‘carrier’]} carrier in {validation_result[‘location’]}.”

response = generate_response(prompt)

print(response)

2. Exchange Rates Data API with GPT

In this example, we integrate the Exchange Rates Data API with GPT-3 to create a smart financial advisor application that offers real-time currency conversion rates and predictions. The function exchange_rates() takes an API key and a base currency and returns the current exchange rates using the Exchange Rates Data API. The function generate_financial_advice() takes a prompt as input and generates financial advice using GPT-3.

The main part of the script fetches the current exchange rate between USD and EUR, combines it with a prompt, and then generates financial advice using GPT-3. The output of the script is a human-readable message about the current exchange rate and what actions to take.

import openai

    return message

 

# Replace with your API key and location

 

weatherstack_api_key = “YOUR WEATHERSTACK API KEY”

 

location = “New York”

 

weather_data = weather_forecast(weatherstack_api_key, location)

 

temperature = weather_data[“temperature”]

 

weather_description = weather_data[“weather_descriptions”][0]

 

prompt = f”The current weather in {location} is {weather_description} with a temperature of {temperature}°C. What activities do you recommend?”

 

suggestion = generate_activity_suggestion(prompt)

 

print(suggestion)

 

4. YouTube API with GPT

This script uses API Layer’s YouTube API. The script searches for YouTube videos related to “ChatGPT” and then uses GPT-3 to generate a recommendation on which video to watch first and why. Make sure to replace your_youtube_api_key and your_openai_api_key with your actual API keys.

 

import requests

import openai

 

# Set up YouTube API

YOUTUBE_API_KEY = “YOUR YOUTUBE API KEY FROM APILAYER”

 

# Set up OpenAI API

openai.api_key = “YOUR OPENAI API KEY”
