The “4” in GPT-4 refers to its place as the fourth iteration in the Generative Pretrained Transformer series by OpenAI. Its “heritage” includes three previous versions—GPT-1, GPT-2, and GPT-3—each improving upon the last. GPT-4, like its predecessors, was trained on diverse internet text but is larger and more powerful. Each new version aims to improve the model’s understanding and generation of human language.
