LinkedIn just rolled out AI writing assistants to help job seekers spruce up their profiles and recruiters draft job descriptions.

OpenAI just launched GPT-4, a multimodal model that accepts text and image inputs while showing human-level benchmark performance.

Text capabilities are live for ChatGPT Plus and API waitlists, while image features remain in research preview.
Duolingo just announced Duolingo Max, a new subscription tier powered by OpenAI’s newly unveiled GPT-4.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman just poured cold water on the wild rumors around GPT-4, calling viral charts claiming it has 100 trillion parameters "complete bullshit."
