OpenAI Unveils Game-Changing Updates and New Features for ChatGPT, Revolutionizing User Experience

San Francisco, CA – OpenAI has announced a groundbreaking series of updates and new features for ChatGPT, its state-of-the-art language model. Designed to revolutionize the user experience, scalability, and safety, these updates include the highly anticipated introduction of a web browsing plugin, code interpreter, retrieval plugin, and an array of third-party plugins such as OpenTable, Wolfram, and Instacart, among others.

The web browsing plugin allows ChatGPT to access up-to-date information by browsing the web. Designed with safety in mind, it limits its browsing capabilities to GET requests and operates within an isolated service. The plugin also adheres to websites’ robots.txt files, ensuring it respects content creators’ wishes. OpenAI aims to maintain transparency by citing sources visited and retrieved in ChatGPT’s responses.

Another addition, the code interpreter plugin, enables ChatGPT to perform various tasks using Python code. Users can now utilize the model’s programming skills to solve mathematical problems, perform data analysis and visualization, or convert files between formats, among other tasks. OpenAI has implemented safety measures by sandboxing the execution environment, disabling internet access for executed code, and setting resource limits on each session.

OpenAI also introduced the open-source retrieval plugin, which allows ChatGPT to access personal or organizational information sources with permission. Developers can deploy their own version of the plugin and register it with ChatGPT, making it easier to search and retrieve relevant documents from a variety of sources.

Lastly, third-party plugins have been introduced to enable integration with external services. Developers can create plugins by building an API with desired endpoints and providing a manifest file containing plugin metadata. Users can then enable these plugins when starting a conversation on chat.openai.com.

These innovative updates will significantly enhance the capabilities of ChatGPT, making it an invaluable resource for users both at home and at work. From making restaurant reservations with OpenTable, performing complex calculations with Wolfram, to managing grocery deliveries with Instacart, the possibilities are endless. OpenAI’s commitment to enhancing the ChatGPT platform while prioritizing safety and user experience promises a future where AI-powered tools seamlessly integrate into our daily lives, transforming the way we access information and interact with technology.

OpenAI invites users to join the plugins waitlist and provide feedback on the developments, hoping to build a platform that is both useful and safe for a wide range of users.
