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

Launched earlier this month, GPT-4o's new offering supports text and visual data analysis. It includes enterprise-level security and controls at an affordable price for educational institutions.

ChatGPT Edu was created after several universities adopted the ChatGPT enterprise, including Oxford University, 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 offers advanced capabilities in text interpretation, coding and mathematics.
It also offers features like data analytics, web browsing and document summarization.

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 announced that ChatGPT is already helping academics to optimize their work.

For example, Columbia University professor Nabila El-Basal is leading an effort to use artificial intelligence in community-based strategies to reduce overdose deaths. Their team created a GPT that processes and integrates large datasets to guide interactions, enabling them to reduce weeks of research work to seconds.

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