OpenAI Launches ChatGPT-4: What You Need To Know
Although the latest version of the popular chat tool still isn’t 100% perfect, its creator says it performs at human levels on certain tasks.
OpenAI released the eagerly awaited update to ChatGPT – ChatGPT-4 – on Tuesday, with immediate access available on Microsoft’s Bing Chat and a developer waiting list.
ChatGPT-4 is “less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios”, OpenAI said in a recent blog post, but it represents “the latest milestone in OpenAI’s effort in scaling up deep learning”.
Since its launch last November, ChatGPT’s popularity has exploded, with traffic to the site hitting over one billion visits.
The new version of the tool is said to have “human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks”. ChatGPT-4 can pass the lawyer’s bar exam in the 90th percentile, for example, while by comparison, GPT-3.5’s score was in the bottom 10%.
Who Can Use ChatGPT-4?
Microsoft’s Bing Chat was co-developed with OpenAI and has run on GPT-4 for the last five weeks. GPT-4 is also available to OpenAI’s paying users, and developers can enter a waiting list to gain access to the platform.
What Are The Limitations Of ChatGPT-4?
“Despite its capabilities, GPT-4 has similar limitations as earlier GPT models,” OpenAI said, with the software still prone to producing bad advice, buggy code, or inaccurate information.
The company has cautioned against using the chat tool in “high-stakes contexts” and advises human review to check facts and add additional context. However, OpenAI claims a 40% improvement in error reduction.

Samsung Smart Glasses Teased For January, Software Reveal Imminent
According to Korean sources, the new wearable will launch alongside the Galaxy S25, with the accompanying software platform unveiled this December.
Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.
As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.
A Collaborative Software Effort
Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.
Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.
Feature Set And Compatibility
The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
