Abstract: 
The evolution of ChatGPT, particularly in its latest iteration, ChatGPT 4.0, showcases significant advancements in natural language processing and AI-driven conversational capabilities. This study compares the accuracy of ChatGPT 3.5 and ChatGPT 4.0 across a set of standardized questions, revealing notable differences in performance. ChatGPT 4.0 demonstrated a superior accuracy rate of 96%, correctly answering 48 out of 50 questions. In contrast, ChatGPT 3.5 achieved an accuracy rate of 82%, correctly answering 41 out of 50 questions. The improvements in ChatGPT 4.0 are particularly evident in its handling of mathematical, analytical, and reasoning questions, where it consistently outperformed its predecessor. These findings highlight the ongoing refinement of ChatGPT's abilities, particularly in complex cognitive tasks, which are critical for applications in education, customer service, and other domains requiring precise information retrieval and problem-solving. However, while the advancements are promising, they also underscore the need for ongoing attention to issues such as bias, privacy, and the ethical deployment of AI technologies. As ChatGPT continues to evolve, its integration into various sectors must be carefully managed to maximize benefits while mitigating potential risks, ensuring that AI serves as a positive force for innovation and societal advancement
