What Happened

OpenAI released GPT-4, a multimodal model that could understand both text and images. It passed the bar exam (90th percentile), scored 1410 on the SAT, and demonstrated remarkably nuanced reasoning. It was a massive leap from GPT-3.5 in accuracy, safety, and capability.

Why It Mattered

Redefined what AI could do. GPT-4's performance on professional exams forced every industry to reckon with AI's capabilities. Microsoft invested $10B+ in OpenAI. The AI arms race between companies intensified dramatically.

DALL-E: Text to Image Generation

OpenAI unveiled DALL-E, a model that could generate images from text descriptions — 'an armchair in the shape of an avocado' became iconic. Built on GPT-3's architecture adapted for images, it showed that language models could bridge the gap between text and visual creativity.

GPT-1: Generative Pre-training

OpenAI released GPT-1, demonstrating that a Transformer trained on vast amounts of text using unsupervised pre-training could then be fine-tuned for specific NLP tasks. With 117 million parameters, it showed the potential of scaling language models.

GPT-2: 'Too Dangerous to Release'

OpenAI announced GPT-2 (1.5 billion parameters) but initially refused to release the full model, calling it 'too dangerous' due to its ability to generate convincing fake text. The decision was controversial — some praised the caution, others called it a publicity stunt. The full model was eventually released in November 2019.
