Microsoft is adding GPT-4 Turbo to its AI Copilot (formerly Bing Chat) services and increasing text input limits.
In early November, Microsoft announced that it would no longer use the name Bing Chat for its online AI chatbot, and instead, the service would be called Copilot. Regardless of the name used for the chatbot, Microsoft is still trying to improve it to bring many advantages to users.
According to one of the announced plans, Microsoft will upgrade this chatbot to the GPT-4 Turbo model recently launched by partners from OpenAI. One of the major upgrades will be support for 128k context windows. That means users can enter 300 pages worth of text prompts in that window, according to Neowin .
Responding to recent questions from users on X (formerly Twitter), Mikhail Parakhin, Director of Web Services and Advertising o of Microsoft and the new leader of the Windows and Web Experience Group said: GPT-4-turbo still needs to iron out some issues.
Bing Chat/Copilot now has a strict limit of 5,000 characters per chat. When asked if that character limit could be increased by adding GPT-4 Turbo to this chatbot, Parakhin said Turbo has a larger context window, so they will try to increase the limit.
When one user about how smart the system is you talk to it. However, the company still needs to solve some mathematical and coding problems. GPT-4 Turbo has higher throughput, so it can accommodate more users or reduce heat in data center systems (DCs), improving latency.
“We are still waiting for full support for third-party plugins (programs or software extensions). GPT-4 Turbo has been in testing for some users for some time,” Parakhin stated on X and added: “This weekend, we are gradually deploying plugins for everyone. The deployment is not for any specific location but at a random percentage in the world.”
