A detailed review of the GPT-4 Technical Report, covering the model's major advances over GPT-3: multimodal input (images + text), significantly stronger benchmark performance across professional exams and coding tasks, predictable scaling infrastructure, and heavy emphasis on RLHF-based alignment and safety. The review explains how GPT-4 shifted LLMs from research experiments to deployable AI platforms, discusses emergent behaviors, multilingual capabilities, and honestly addresses limitations like hallucination, overconfidence, calibration tradeoffs, and jailbreaking risks. Also notable is OpenAI's deliberate omission of architecture details, marking a transition toward closed frontier AI development.
