For Developers
GPT-4 Turbo introduces function calling and JSON mode for its vision capabilities, enabling structured data extraction from images. On the coding front, it achieved an impressive 87.6% on the demanding HumanEval benchmark for code synthesis.
Performance Benchmarks
Performance metrics reveal GPT-4 Turbo has reclaimed the #1 position on the Arena leaderboard, outclassing prior versions as well as contenders like Anthropic's Claude and Google's PaLM on coding, reasoning, and multi-task evaluations.
User Feedback
While the raw capabilities are compelling, the practical question is whether GPT-4 Turbo delivers a truly differentiated experience. Early user reactions point to noticeable improvements over GPT-4, with potential to match or exceed Anthropic's highly-capable Claude model.
sharenz0: "Tried it on lmsys chatbot arena. It's pretty fast and I think it's a bit better than GPT-4 before. Could be on par with Claude Opus."
Hour-Athlete-200: "So that's their response to Claude 3? They don't think they need to release a new model?"
