In early November, Microsoft announced that it would no longer use the name Bing Chat for its AI chatbot that generates online content; instead, the service would be called Copilot. Regardless of the name used for the chatbot, Microsoft is still working to improve it to provide more convenience for users.
According to one of the announced plans, Microsoft will upgrade this chatbot to the GPT-4 Turbo model recently launched by partners from OpenAI. One of the major upgrades will be support for a 128k context window. This means users can enter text prompts equivalent to 300 pages within that window, according to Neowin .
Microsoft adds OpenAI's GPT-4 Turbo to Bing/Copilot and increases the text input limit.
Responding to recent questions from users on X (formerly Twitter), Mikhail Parakhin, Microsoft's Director of Web Services and Advertising and the new leader of the Windows Web Experience Group, stated that GPT-4-turbo still needs to address some issues.
Bing Chat/Copilot currently has a strict limit of 5,000 characters per chat. When asked if that character limit could be increased by adding GPT-4 Turbo to the chatbot, Parakhin said that Turbo has a larger context window, so they would try to increase the limit.
When a user named X asked how the GPT-4 Turbo was better than the regular GPT-4, Mr. Parakhin replied that it beat the regular GPT-4 in "cognitive intelligence"—Microsoft's internal measure of how intelligent a system is when you talk to it. However, the company still needs to address some mathematical and coding issues. The GPT-4 Turbo has higher throughput, so it can accommodate more users or minimize data center (DC) system overheating, improving latency.
"We are still awaiting full support for third-party plugins (programs or extensions). GPT-4 Turbo has been tested with a select group of users for some time," Parakhin stated on X, adding, "This weekend, we are gradually rolling out the plugins to everyone. The rollout is not localized but based on a random percentage of the world ."
