GPT-4 vs. GPT-3.5: how much difference is there?

Role	GPT – 3.5	GPT – 4
Programming and writing codes.	GPT-3.5 can write code, but it’s not great at fixing mistakes. This means people spend more time correcting errors when using it	GPT-4 is much better at understanding the code you want and making it better.
Understanding images	GPT-3.5 is primarily a text tool, It cant generate any other responses other than texts.	GPT-4 is able to understand images. If you provide it with a photo, it can describe what’s in it, understand the context of what’s there, and make suggestions based on it
Memory Capacity	GPT-4 can remember much more than older versions. GPT-4 can recall around 64,000 words. Furthermore, if you give GPT-4 a web link, it can use text from that page.	GPT-3.5 can remember about 8,000 words at a time. It has a limited memory compared to ChatGPT-4
Number of Parameters	Has been trained with around 100 trillion parameters. Although OpenAI doesn’t reveal the exact number of parameters used in GPT-4	That’s an order of magnitude greater than GPT-3 with its 175 billion parameters.
Multilingual capabilities	GPT-4 is better at understanding different languages. It can handle 25 languages in addition to English, such as French, German, and Spanish.	GPT-3 has no multilingual capabilities. It cannot work with 25 languages other than English. These do not include French, German, or Spanish.
Steerability	GPT-4 has increased “steerability,” enabling users to select different “personalities” for its responses. For instance, it can respond as a pirate, despite the unclear motivation for doing so.	GPT-4 lacks “steerability,” meaning it has less control over its responses and cannot adopt different personalities as desired.

But this feature is still in beta and not perfect.	While ChatGPT-3’s training data is also limited to September 2021, you can’t tell it to search the internet using Bing for more timely answers.
Plugins incorporation	With plugins, a beta feature, OpenAI and other developers can make ChatGPT-4 better. For example, there are plugins for finding flights expedia & kayak and getting information from PDFs like ask PDFs	Has no capacity to install plugins therefore very limited workability
