Copilot for Microsoft 365 is getting ‘latest’ GPT language AI model: What it means for users

Microsoft has announced that it is bringing two updates for users of Copilot for Microsoft 365. These include the ability to access the latest generation of language models for generative AI and capabilities.

GPT-4 Turbo comes to Copilot for Microsoft 365Microsoft is bringing priority access to the GPT-4 Turbo model on the web and work data. This means that all licensed commercial customers will have priority access to GPT-4 Turbo in Copilot for Microsoft 365. Additionally, as a part of this change, the Windows maker is also removing the limits on the total number of chats per day and the number of turns per conversation.

“Together, these changes mean that customers will receive faster, more comprehensive responses whether they are using Copilot in the web context or in the work context,” the company said.

Copilot users will get access to the latest foundation models grounded in the latest public information from the web. The web context includes commercial data protection, which means that Microsoft won’t retain user/ business prompts or responses to train the underlying foundation models.

When it comes to work context, the model will ground the work data – calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings, contacts and more – to provide contextually accurate responses.

Expanded image generation capabilities in Microsoft DesignerStarting next month, Microsoft will also increase the number of image generation boosts per day from 15 to 100. Microsoft Designer image generation is powered by the DALL-E 3 model and enables users to create custom images from text descriptions. Users will be able to initiate up to 100 rapid image generation requests daily.

Availability

These new capabilities will be initially available in copilot.microsoft.com, followed by the Copilot mobile app, in Windows, and in Edge, as well as the places where users can access the work context directly, like in Microsoft 365.
