OpenAI’s approaching GPT-4 upgrade will allow users to turn text into video, Microsoft Germany CTO Andreas Braun said at an AI event last Thursday, as the German publication Heise reported. Microsoft is a leading investor in OpenAI, pumping billions of dollars into the company.
Braun added that the more powerful AI will be introduced this week, putting an end to speculation over its release.
We will introduce GPT-4 next week, there we will have multimodal models that will offer completely different possibilities – for example, videos.”
Braun added.
Excitement has expanded in Silicon Valley over the possibility of OpenAI’s new model, but CEO Sam Altman told venture capital newsletter StrictlyVC that people are begging to be disappointed, and they will be.
I think less hype would be good, but added it may “broaden opportunities.”

Meta and Google have already introduced text-to-video abilities in their own AI, but it characterizes a step forward for the ChatGPT, which has so far been limited to verbal outputs.
Microsoft has reportedly funded more than $10 billion into OpenAI, with the association key in powering its own Bing chatbot. While the firms say Bing is operating the same GPT-3.5 model nowadays used by OpenAI’s chatbot.
Since its launch, ChatGPT has accrued over 100 million users beating the time TikTok took to achieve the same milestone by seven months. But OpenAI’s management has reached under objection from Elon Musk, who co-founded the company before leaving the board in 2018.
“OpenAI was created as an open source, non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft,” he tweeted last month.
