OpenAI has recently announced a massive update for all ChatGPT Plus users. This new update will allow users access to web browsing within ChatGPT and 70 beta plugins. From text-to-audio conversions to real-time data on stocks and crypto, these beta plugins include a vast range of features.
The new plugin support will give users more options to personalize their experience. These plugins can be the “eyes and ears” for language models, giving them access to information that is more recent, personal, and specific than was included in the training data, according to OpenAI.
