The Rundown: OpenAI just hosted the company’s hotly anticipated DevDay event, unleashing a series of major announcements, including custom GPTs, GPT-4 Turbo, a GPT builder and store, and more.

Customizable GPT Builder:

  • GPT Builder will allow anyone to customize and share their own custom AI assistants (GPTs) with natural language.

  • You can add advanced custom instructions to your GPTs, including files, descriptions, actions, DALL-E 3 profiles, and more.

  • Alongside GPT Builder, they’re launching a GPT Store, allowing regular people to make money by selling their newly built GPTs.

  • GPT Builder is rolling out now to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users.

  • Check out our initial tests of GPT-4 Builder here, where we built an entire X/Twitter post optimizer bot available to chat with here.

GPT-4 Turbo:

  • GPT-4 Turbo is OpenAI’s new model with an upgraded 128K context window that allows it to read prompts as long as a 300-page book.

  • The model also has improved performance, an updated knowledge window to April 2023, and is 3x cheaper for developers.

Additional updates:

  • Brand new APIs for developers to build apps using Vision, text-to-speech, and DALL-E 3 with slashed developer costs.

  • A new Assistants API helps build customizable goal-driven AI apps, with fine-tuning expanded to GPT-4 and custom models available.

  • OpenAI’s new ‘Copyright Shield’ will pay the costs incurred, if you face legal claims around copyright infringement while building with tools.

  • We also discovered ChatGPT’s newly (unannounced) "Builder Profile" which allows anyone to create a profile for the upcoming GPT Builder marketplace. Check out our early access findings here.

Why it matters: OpenAI just changed the AI game again — with its latest updates unlocking a new paradigm of capabilities for builders to create on their platform. While the competition has been heating up, OpenAI just reminded the world who currently sits on the AI throne.

XAI

The Rundown: Elon Musk's xAI continued to ship new AI upgrades following its Grok release, now launching PromptIDE — an integrated development environment for building prompts and analyzing AI model outputs.

The details:

  • PromptIDE gives transparent access to the Grok-1 model through a Python SDK, allowing for complex prompting techniques and visualization of model outputs.

  • Features include a code editor, analytics like token probabilities, uploaded file support, and sharing of prompts.

  • PromptIDE is currently available to members of xAI's early access program.

The relevance: xAI is moving fast — with the training time of their new ChatGPT competitor, Grok of just 2 months. If this insane pace of development is maintained, it could quickly make xAI a household name in the AI race. We’ve got our fingers crossed that more users can get access soon and try it out.

AI TRAINING

Want to supercharge your growth on X/Twitter or other social media platforms? Leverage AI to help optimize your posts with these five steps:

Get your insights: Export analytics from your platform or use a third-party tool. Focus on recent data.

Feed it to ChatGPT: Upload the data to ChatGPT's Advanced Data Analysis (Requires paid access). For a free workaround, try Claude.

Ask key questions: Prompt for the best times to post, top keywords, niche recommendations etc based on your stats. Examples: What's the best time to post for max engagement? What are the hottest keywords for my account? What is the best niche I should post about?

Implement advice: Here's the best use case of them all, in my opinion. Ask ChatGPT: "Based on my analytics, how can I improve my account to maximize reach?"

With your actual metrics, ChatGPT can provide tailored recommendations to refine your approach, reach more people, and grow your presence!
