The corporate is describing the occasion as “an opportunity to demo some ChatGPT and GPT-4 updates.” CEO Sam Altman, in the meantime, promoted the event with the message, “not gpt-5, not a search engine, however we’ve been onerous at work on some new stuff we expect individuals will love! appears like magic to me.”
