The Big Story

TL;DR: ChatGPT Plugins are gonna change the game.

Last week was big. OpenAI unveiled GPT-4, Microsoft announced Copilot for Office 365, and Google finally rolled out Bard, its ChatGPT competitor, for early access.

This week, the big news is ChatGPT Plugins.

This means users will be able to develop and access thousands of apps from within ChatGPT. If ChatGPT was OpenAI’s iPhone, then Plugins is the AppStore. Insane.

Users are already reporting some crazy unreleased plugins within ChatGPT:

Among the many in the list above, one stood out for me: Wolfram Test. The description says ‘Access computation, math, curated knowledge & real-time data through Wolfram|Alpha and Wolfram Language’.

In other words, if you’ve been using ChatGPT to solve math problems, they will be a lot more accurate when this rolls out. If you have the paid subscription, you can access it right now.

Paper I’ve been reading:

‘Capabilities of GPT-4 on Medical Challenge Problems’ by Nori et al.

Key takeaways:

• They performed comprehensive evaluations of GPT-4 on medical competency exams and benchmark datasets

• It was tested on official practice materials for the USMLE, a three-step examination program used to assess clinical competency, and the MultiMedQA suite of benchmark datasets

• Results show that GPT-4 exceeds the passing score on the USMLE by over 20 points and outperforms earlier general-purpose models. It was also found to be significantly better calibrated than GPT-3.5

• The paper also talks about the implications for potential uses of GPT-4 in medical education, assessment, and clinical practice

Two Awesome Tools

• Document-to-presentation tool, by Tome. Built with GPT-4, you can take any document and turn it into a presentation or story. You can get started here.

• Code Interpreter. Get ChatGPT to audit, fix, and write your code for you.
