GPT-4 can generate captions, classify and analyze the context of images. According to the research firm, it can also handle more than 25,000 words of text, enabling content creation, extended conversations, and document search and analysis.
“We look forward to GPT-4 becoming a valuable tool to improve people’s lives by powering many applications,” OpenAI wrote. “There is still much work to be done, and we look forward to improving this model through the collective community effort to build on, explore and contribute to the model.”
Be My Eyes uses the latest version of Chat GPT to specifically help serve the needs of the blind and visually impaired community.
