The new AI model has reasoning capabilities for audio, text, and images. It has advanced features like data analysis. OpenAI built the new model because it saw massive success in top universities in the United States that utilized ChatGPT Enterprise.
ChatGPT Edu Will Be a Part of Education
OpenAI stated that ChatGPT Edu will include GPT-4o, the most powerful AI model OpenAI offers to the public. GPT-4o has shown proficiency in interpreting text, programming, and mathematics. In addition, the model helps students in live browsing, research, and text summarization. ChatGPT Edu will enable universities to build specialized GPTs for several purposes. For example, universities can build GPTs to exclusively tutor mathematics or assist students in writing lab reports.
