In the early morning of May 19th, OpenAI released the official iOS app of ChatGPT. The name of this app is “OpenAI ChatGPT”. The app is currently only available in the US App Store. In other words, iOS users in the United States can already download and use ChatGPT on iPhone and iPad for free.
However, OpeAI said that in the next few weeks, the app will be launched in more countries and regions. In addition, it promises that the Android version of ChatGPT is also on the way and will come soon.
This means that ChatGPT will soon complete its deployment in the two major mobile ecological camps, and everyone with a smartphone can use ChatGPT simply and conveniently.
Some netizens simply calculated an account. After completing the layout of the two major mobile ecological camps, 86.29% of the world’s population will soon use ChatGPT.
“OpenAI expands ChatGPT to ordinary consumer groups through mobile phones. This is the inevitable result of the real scene demand.” Regarding OpenAI’s latest move, an AI practitioner told All Weather Technology that this move will make ChatGPT’s C-end user base Rapid expansion again, and the growth of huge user data can also increase the speed of iterative upgrading of the GPT model.
In less than 24 hours after its release, the app rushed to the second place in the free list of the Apple Store. This app is currently ranked first in the free list of the Apple Store.
OpenAI designer Chester Cho said on social media that day: “Today we released the iOS version of the ChatGPT application! This is a useful contribution from the OpenAI design team – from branding to dialogue design. We hope this is the best way to bring artificial intelligence into our daily life. The first step in life.”
Since the end of last year, ChatGPT has quickly become popular all over the world, and now the platform has more than 1.7 billion monthly visits. According to SimilarWeb statistics, as of January this year, ChatGPT has exceeded 100 million monthly active users, making it the fastest-growing consumer application in history.
The above-mentioned AI practitioners believe that in addition to the rapid growth of the user base, the layout of the mobile terminal has also found a more desirable realization possibility for OpenAI. “Compared to the web terminal, the payment operation on the mobile terminal is easier, and it can be purchased through the App Store, and a large number of potential paying users may turn into actual paying users.”
Stronger “Chat Sense”
On the web side, many users use ChatGPT as a productivity tool.
What is the difference between the mobile app and the web version? On the whole, the scenarios faced by the mobile terminal are different. In this regard, OpenAI officially summarized 5 usage scenarios of ChatGPT on the mobile terminal.
Give Instant Answers: Get accurate information without sifting through ads or multiple results.
Tailored Advice: Seek guidance on cooking, travel planning, or crafting a thoughtful message.
Provides creative inspiration: generate gift ideas, outline a presentation, or write the perfect poem.
Professionally written comments: Help increase productivity with feedback on ideas, summaries of notes, and technical topics.
Offers learning opportunities: Explore new languages, modern history, and more at your own pace.
According to the official website, the mobile ChatGPT released this time integrates OpenAI’s open-source speech recognition system Whisper, so it adds voice input to the conversation, making the app more “Chat-like”. The biggest difference at the end.
According to official disclosures, the Whisper model was trained on a data set of 680,000 hours of labeled audio data, including 117,000 hours of speeches in 96 different languages, and 125,000 hours of translation data from any language to English .
The user only needs to click the voice button in the dialog box to perform voice input, and repeat the button to stop the recording. After that, ChatGPT will first convert the voice into text, and it will give a text answer immediately after sending. This operation is a bit like Apple’s Siri digital assistant, the difference is that it will not answer with voice, only reply with text.
A user gave high marks on social media after testing in 6 languages: “ChatGPT app dictation mode understands more languages than iOS keyboard and can reply to them. Tested in 6 languages, it understands Very well.”
However, the ChatGPT APP only supports iPhone 8 and newer models, and the iOS system needs to be upgraded to version 16.1 or above. It also does not support multi-modal picture or video output.
If the user is not a Plus user before, he can only use GPT-3.5 for conversation, but if he is already a Plus user before, he can choose GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 for conversation.
In addition, users can use the same account to log in to the web and mobile terminals. After logging in, the historical conversation data can also be seen on the mobile terminal, and the import, deletion, and renaming of historical records will be synchronized across platforms.
An AI assistant that understands users better
More than a month ago, OpenAI released a plug-in, which was regarded as the first step for ChatGPT to connect to the outside world.
The further update of its plug-in function shows that ChatGPT has more tentacles to communicate with the outside world. Through these tentacles, users put more demands on ChatGPT, making it a professional assistant.
Within this week, OpenAI has started to provide ChatGPT plug-in functions and networking to all Plus users. However, these functions have not been updated on the mobile terminal at present, and the data is still stuck before September 2021.
In the view of the aforementioned AI practitioners, the launch of the ChatGPT iOS function is only the first step. In the future, based on the personal information stored on the mobile phone, ChatGPT may form a more unique competitive advantage, becoming an AI assistant that understands users better, and even competes with other apps. interaction between
“There are two core logics in the Internet era. One of them is link, which will give you a bunch of options and let you choose one in a long time. But what is the AI era? It is knowledge. The apps you use understand you. Yes, you don’t need to make a choice, it will give you an answer directly, and this answer is the most suitable for you.” Said the above-mentioned AI practitioners.
In addition, OpenAI will access networking and plug-in functions in future iterative versions, which means that its ecology will be further expanded.
“This is far beyond the scope of the current search. In this big ecology, ChatGPT tends to be more of a platform. I can meet the needs of a specific scenario and provide a specific service for each application.” The aforementioned AI practitioner said.
However, as OpenAI enters the iPhone moment, Apple is “operating in reverse.”
On May 19, some media reported that because Apple is currently developing its own AI chat technology, Apple restricts employees from using ChatGPT and other external AI tools to prevent “disclosure of confidential data.”
