OpenAI is once again in the news. The AI giant has announced the launch of 'ChatGPT Edu,' a separate version of the AI model to cater to educational institutions. "We're announcing ChatGPT Edu, a version of ChatGPT built for universities to responsibly deploy AI to students, faculty, researchers, and campus operations," the company said in a blog post.

This development comes weeks after the AI company introduced an advanced version of its flagship model, ChatGPT 4o. Earlier this month, not only did OpenAI announce its new AI integrations, but Microsoft and Google led by Sundar Pichai, also made similar announcements.

Every company is announcing new AI-centered projects to leverage the hype and stay ahead of the race. OpenAI decided to launch ChatGPT Edu after seeing the effective use of ChatGPT Enterprise at universities like Oxford, the University of Texas at Austin, and Columbia.

The company mentioned in its blog post that ChatGPT can assist with many campus tasks, such as tutoring students, reviewing resumes, helping researchers write grant applications, and assisting faculty with grading and feedback.

ChatGPT Edu will provide access to GPT-4o which excels in text interpretation, coding, and mathematics alongside advanced features like data analytics, web browsing, and document summarization.

Users can also create custom versions of ChatGPT, called GPTs, and share them within university workspaces.

The new model will also provide "significantly higher message limits than the free version of ChatGPT." It will also offer improved language capabilities alongside supporting 50 languages with quality and speed.

The new model will also ensure, "robust security, data privacy, and administrative controls such as group permissions, SSO, SCIM 1, and GPT management."

What stood out as an exception was the company's claim that conversations and data would not be used for "training OpenAI models."
