Greetings from Seattle. Microsoft has announced it will upgrade Copilot to run OpenAI's GPT-4 Turbo and the DALL-E 3 image generator. Currently СÀ¶ÊÓƵ tested with select users, GPT-4 Turbo will make Copilot more useful by increasing its context window (input capacity) to 125,000 tokens, which represents an increase from roughly 50 to 300 pages and dramatically improves the ability to craft or engineer prompts.
Additional features include the Inline Compose tool in Edge – which offers a text rewrite function – and a new Code Interpreter feature for programmers, which supports tasks like data analysis and coding. Both features will be released soon.
Finally, Bing search is receiving a GPT-4-powered upgrade, enhancing results for complex queries by processing multiple variations simultaneously and efficiently filtering out irrelevant information.
Here's the thing: productivity increases with Copilot are quickly going to become table stakes. When every knowledge worker has access to a technology, the competitive advantage boils down to one thing: user skills. It's important for everyone on your team to get good at this.
Remember, AI won't take your job… someone who is better at using AI than you are will.
