A feature I really likeis that ChatGPT-4 supports internet searching. If I use the Open AI API with gpt-4-turbo or gpt-4 does it have the same capability?
#Can I use gpt-4 to make internet queries or does only chatgpt-4 do that

Hi @placid aurora. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
The GPT-4 model, whether it's gpt-4-turbo or gpt-4, does not inherently have internet browsing capabilities when used through the OpenAI API. This means that if you want to use GPT-4 to make internet queries, you would need to implement this functionality yourself. This is in contrast to ChatGPT, which does offer a variety of mechanisms, such as plugins, that can request information from the internet as part of a chat session source (https://community.openai.com/t/652354).
However, it's important to note that while you can build browsing capabilities into your application, the GPT-4 model itself does not have access to the internet or any other system. Any access to external systems, including the internet, has to be implemented by the services that drive the model source (https://community.openai.com/t/468615).
