ChatGPT, the popular generative AI bot developed by OpenAI, is now available on Apple’s spatial computing device, Vision Pro. OpenAI recently announced the launch of the ChatGPT app on the visionOS App Store, making it accessible to Vision Pro users.
Already available on iPhone, iPad, and web browsers, ChatGPT on Apple Vision Pro is powered by OpenAI’s latest large language model, GPT 4 Turbo. Since its inception in November 2022, ChatGPT has gained immense popularity in the tech world. It offers a wide range of features, allowing users to ask questions, create diet plans, do grammar checks, get advice, conduct research, and more.
ChatGPT is equipped with natural language understanding capabilities, enabling it to provide context-aware answers even when a series of questions are asked. However, the availability of certain features may depend on whether users are using the free version or the paid version, ChatGPT Plus.
Initially text-only, ChatGPT now supports additional input modes, including voice and images, making it convenient for users to interact with the chatbot. Moreover, users can also create custom versions of ChatGPT tailored to their specific tasks using a feature called GPTs.
Apple Vision Pro offers a vast selection of apps and games, including ChatGPT, at the time of its launch. As a mixed reality headset, Vision Pro is not only compatible with these new apps but also supports over one million apps from iPad.
However, Vision Pro does come with its limitations. It is currently only available for purchase and use in the United States, restricting its accessibility for users outside the country. Additionally, if the headset is lost or stolen, it cannot be tracked using Find My on another device or the iCloud website.
Unfortunately, major streaming platforms like Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube have not yet developed streaming apps for Vision Pro. Although a developer has come up with a workaround for YouTube, the official apps from these platforms are currently unavailable for the device.
As Apple continues to expand its reach into new hardware categories, Vision Pro represents an exciting addition to its lineup. Users need to take extra precautions when cleaning the headset due to its specific requirements. Apple advises that, like other devices powered by lithium-ion batteries, Vision Pro may adjust its performance under certain circumstances.
In conclusion, with the launch of the ChatGPT app for Apple Vision Pro, users can now enjoy the benefits of OpenAI’s powerful language model through Apple’s spatial computing device. The availability of various input modes and the ability to create custom versions of ChatGPT enhance the user experience. While Vision Pro offers a wide range of apps, it does have certain limitations, including restricted availability and the absence of official streaming apps from major platforms. Nonetheless, Vision Pro represents an exciting step forward in Apple’s hardware innovation.
