OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Edu, a new version of ChatGPT developed for universities, to facilitate the responsible integration of AI among students, faculty, researchers, and campus operations.

Launched earlier this month, this new offering powered by GPT-4o supports text and visual and can analyze data. This includes enterprise-level security and controls at a price affordable to educational institutions.

ChatGPT Edu was created after the adoption of ChatGPT Enterprise by several universities, including the University of Oxford, Arizona State University, Columbia University, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Texas at Austin.

ChatGPT Edu includes access to GPT-4o, which is advanced in text interpretation, coding, and mathematics.
It also offers capacity. It also offers features such as data analytics, web browsing, and document summary.

Moreover, users can create and share custom GPTs in university workspaces. The platform offers higher message limits than the free version and supports more than 50 languages with improved quality and speed.

OpenAI has announced that ChatGPT is helping academics optimize their work.

For example, Nabila El-Bassel, a professor at Columbia University, is leading an effort to use artificial intelligence in community-based strategies to reduce overdose deaths. Her team created a GPT that processes and synthesizes large datasets to drive interactions, allowing them to compress weeks-long research activities into seconds.

Likewise, graduate students and MBA students in Professor Ethan Mollick's courses at Wharton completed their final reflection assignments by engaging in discussions with a GPT trained in the course materials.
