Artificial Intelligence has advanced tremendously in recent years, leading this technology to now have a series of capabilities and skills that until not long ago seemed very distant and even unimaginable.
But, as is usually the case, as new advances come out, those that were impressive and limited until now tend to lose their impact and open up so that the rest of users can also take advantage of them. For example, when mobile internet began and users wanted to be able to use their data to be connected to the network wherever they were, 1 GB was worth three times more than it is now, as its use has become widespread.
This is something that happens in all aspects of technology, and with ChatGPT it was no different. Since almost the beginning of this platform, OpenAI has offered two versions, a free one and a paid one that offers everything the free one does, but with many extra features and capabilities.
Well, last week, the artificial intelligence firm presented a new language model, GPT-4o, with much more advanced capabilities for interacting with it by voice. But the good news of this announcement has not been the arrival of a faster and more capable chatbot, but that OpenAI has decided to release several functions that until now were only available in the paid version in the free version, so now you can take advantage of all these without spending a euro.
Three functions arriving in the free version of ChatGPT
Before showing the three new features that we can now enjoy for free, the arrival of ChatGPT-4o means the release of ChatGPT 4 for everyone, which already brings advantages in terms of speed, accuracy, and efficiency in responses.
Real-time internet searches
Undoubtedly one of the major “buts” of the free version of ChatGPT was that it was not connected to the internet, and its responses were limited to the data with which the AI had been trained, which were limited to 2022. This is definitely great news, as now we will have better responses based on current events.
Multimodal capability
While a chatbot is designed for text, in this audiovisual world we live in, it was necessary for the world’s most famous AI to be able to understand not only written, but also images and sounds. Now, you can share a photo and have the chatbot explain it to you, or do the same with an audio clip.
Access to other GPTs
It was a few months ago that OpenAI launched GPT Store, a kind of app store where developers could design apps with different functions based on ChatGPT itself, but up until now, it was limited to the paid version. Now, you will be able to download and use customized GPTs that adapt to your needs and interests.
