Microsoft’s GPT-powered Bing Chat app is now available to anyone who signs up for the tool, Windows Central<\/strong><\/a> and Engadget reports<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bing Chat was launched in a limited beta in February 2023, requiring interested users put their names on a waiting list<\/strong><\/a> before getting access.<\/p>\n

According to reports, users no longer have to wait for access to Bing Chat.<\/p>\n

The only requirement is to sign into a Microsoft account on the Edge browser and go to the Bing Chat website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft is yet to announce that Bing Chat is generally available, so open access may be limited to specific regions.<\/p>\n

Early feedback on Bing Chat has been generally positive, with users reporting that the tool is powerful.<\/p>\n

However, they also found that it was possible to get the language model into a spiral<\/a><\/strong> where it gets confused and insults you when attempting to correct errors.<\/p>\n

Microsoft quickly introduced limits and implemented a watchdog that overwrites Bing Chat’s responses when it starts making negative comments.<\/p>\n

A few weeks after entering beta, Bing Chat’s popularity helped boost Microsoft’s Bing Search engine to more than 100 million daily active users.<\/p>\n

The tool can also be accessed through the Start Menu following the latest Windows 11 update.<\/p>\n

The company recently revealed the tool had been running on an improved version of the GPT predictive language model, even before OpenAI officially launched it earlier this week<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

OpenAI said that GPT-4 would be more accurate, creative, and collaborative. It also supports image recognition capabilities.<\/p>\n

Early user experience with the upgraded tool has shown these claims ring true.<\/p>\n

According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the upgraded language model was 40% more likely to produce accurate responses than GPT-3.5, which had previously been used in ChatGPT and Dall-E.<\/p>\n

The image below from Chartr.co<\/strong><\/a> shows the scores it achieved compared to GPT-3.5 when completing various common tests and Advanced Placement (AP) exams.<\/p>\n
