Software King of the World Microsoft is to add GPT-4 Turbo to Bing Chat, which the Redmond-based tech giant recently renamed Copilot.
Vole abandoned the Bing Chat branding for its generative AI-backed chatbot earlier this month. The company now uses Copilot to refer to the service.
Regardless of the name Microsoft uses for its widely popular chatbot, the company is sparing no effort in a bid to improve it. In line with this, Bing AI (A.K.A. Copilot) is slated to get GPT-4 Turbo soon despite some unresolved issues around the implementation.
Now, an exchange on X between a Bing AI user and Microsoft’s head of Advertising and Web Services Mikhail Parakhin has shed some light on the transition to GPT-4 Turbo.
Parakhin said GPT-4 Turbo is not yet working in Copilot. Apparently, they still need to iron out a “few kinks” before Copilot can adopt the latest language model.
Apparently, Vole wants to increase the character limit when GPT-4 Turbo is added. Bing Chat/Copilot currently has a 5,000-character limit for each chat.
Parakhin added that GPT-4 Turbo outperforms vanilla GPT-4 on “perceived intelligence”, which alludes to the tech behemoth’s internal metric of how smart the system feels when you talk to it.
However, Parakhin admitted that the model still needs some improvement in the Math and Coding department. Since GPT-4 Turbo has a higher throughput, he believes the model can have more users or run DCs less “hot” and therefore improve latency.
He confirmed that the company is preparing to fully roll out the support for third-party plugins, which have been in testing for a few users for a while.
