GPT-4 has come to LinkedIn, because of course it has

By Fionna Agomuoh Published March 16, 2023

With the official introduction of Open AI’s GPT-4, Microsoft is expanding its range of product support to include AI upgrades embedded into LinkedIn.

The business-focused social media platform announced Thursday that it will begin testing a host of AI-driven features based on both the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 language models with its Premium subscribers. These functions will allow people to do things such as create more personalized profiles and job descriptions using AI-generated prompts. In particular, the GPT-4 language model will be the power behind AI profile writing, according to LinkedIn.

You will be able to craft a personal statement on your LinkedIn profile with a prompt such as, “How do I summarize my career highlights and aspirations into just a few sentences?”

One of the primary features of GPT-4 is a greater ability to contextualize the information it is presented, as well as a higher degree of collaboration than the prior model. Still, you will have the ability to “review and edit” any generated text to maintain your own tone and authenticity. LinkedIn notes that GPT-3.5 will focus on generating job descriptions for companies.

Along with the language model updates, LinkedIn is offering over 100 AI courses, which will be available for free to all members through June 15. Some titles include “What is Generative AI” by Pinar Seyhan Demirdag, “Introduction to Prompt Engineering for Generative AI” by Ronnie Sheer, and “Introduction to Conversational AI” by Ian Barkin. There are courses available for all professional levels.

Open AI officially announced the GPT-4 language model on Tuesday, saying it is available to ChatGPT Plus users and developers through the API.

The company also said that several brands and organizations have been working with the language model, including Duolingo, Be My Eyes, Stripe, Morgan Stanley, Khan Academy, and the government of Iceland. Microsoft also confirmed that its new Bing Search featuring an AI chatbot is based on GPT-4. The updated search engine debuted in February.

Here’s how Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o stack up in a direct comparison

In the ever-growing large language model (LLMs) landscape, two front-runners stand out from the rest of the race: Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet and OpenAI's GPT-4o (the "o" stands for "Omni"). Both AIs boast impressive capabilities, but which reigns supreme? This guide dives deep into Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o, dissecting their strengths and weaknesses across various tasks.

We'll not only explore their relative accuracy and response speeds, but also unpack their pricing structures and service tiers. By the end of this article, you'll be armed with the knowledge to make an informed decision about which LLM best suits your specific needs and budget.
Pricing and tiers
ChatGPT users can access the GPT-4o model for free, but the number of queries you're allowed to ask it within a three-hour span is limited. Exceeding that limit will move you down to using GPT-3.5, OpenAI's older, less capable model, until the cooldown timer has reset.

All the M4 Macs that are still coming out in 2024

Apple's Craig Federighi discusses macOS at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024.

This year has been a pretty slow one for the Mac so far, with only the M3 MacBook Air bringing any kind of update to Apple’s computer lineup. But that’s all set to change over the course of 2024, with a broad range of Macs poised to get the M4 series of chips in the coming months. In fact, it could be the first time that every Mac will be on the same family of chips.

That means if you’re looking to upgrade your Apple computer, this could be the time to do it. Wait just a few more months and you’ll have a huge range of up-to-date Macs to choose from, with everything from the MacBook Pro to the Mac Studio joining the M4 series by this time next year.

GPT-5 will have ‘Ph.D.-level’ intelligence

OpenAI CTO Mira Murati on stage answering questions.

The next major evolution of ChatGPT has been rumored for a long time. GPT-5, or whatever it will be called, has been talked about vaguely many times over the past year, but yesterday, OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati gave some additional clarity on its capabilities.

In an interview with Dartmouth Engineering that was posted on X (formerly Twitter), Murati describes the jump from GPT-4 to GPT-5 as someone growing from a high-schooler up to university.
