This time, we’ll focus on two groundbreaking features: expanded context windows and vision capabilities—tips and tricks that can save you a lot of time. We’ll start with a brief recap of ChatGPT fundamentals, then get into the benefits of expanded context windows, now up to 10 times larger. You’ll discover how to use this extended memory for more efficient document analysis, detailed research, and solving complex tasks with ease We’ll then explore AI's new vision capabilities, offering practical tips to save time by enabling ChatGPT to interpret and understand images.
