Introduction
On May 31, OpenAI announced on its official website the launch of the ChatGPT Edu version, specifically designed for university campuses. This news undoubtedly brought revolutionary changes to the field of education. ChatGPT Edu not only supports the latest GPT-4o model but also integrates advanced features such as web search, custom GPT, data analysis, and code generation, greatly improving the learning and teaching efficiency of students and teachers.
Application in Top Global Universities
At present, 24 top global universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, and Birmingham, which are part of the "Russell Group," have started using generative AI products such as ChatGPT in education. The Wharton School and Arizona State University have also announced cooperation with OpenAI to explore the application of ChatGPT in the field of education.
The Main Force of the Younger Generation
According to a survey report by Deloitte and the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, young people aged 18 to 24 are the main force in using generative AI such as ChatGPT. As the first generation of "digital natives," they have a strong ability to accept new technologies and are good at finding solutions through online resources. Therefore, the field of education has become one of the best application scenarios for generative AI.
Main Features of ChatGPT Edu
- GPT-4o Model Support: ChatGPT Edu supports OpenAI's latest flagship model, GPT-4o, capable of multimodal reasoning across text, video, and audio.
- Data Analysis and Web Search: Helps students quickly summarize a large amount of document content, saving time for reference.

Practical Application Cases
The official website of OpenAI has showcased several practical application cases of ChatGPT in the field of education, including professors from the Wharton School and Columbia University using custom GPT for teaching and research, and Arizona State University developing a language-customized GPT to help students with German training.
In-depth Cooperation in the Field of Education
The Wharton School and Arizona State University have announced technological cooperation with OpenAI. The Wharton School plans to provide ChatGPT Enterprise to all students starting from the fall of 2024, and Arizona State University has already launched more than 200 teaching and learning projects related to ChatGPT.
Conclusion
OpenAI's ChatGPT Edu version is not only a technological breakthrough but also a revolution in the field of education. How it will affect future learning and teaching methods is something we should all look forward to and pay attention to.
