+- GPT-4 Turbo has entered general availability, so the model shorthand `4` now points to `gpt-4-turbo` instead of `gpt-4`. `gpt-4-turbo` is faster, smarter, and more cost-effective; there is almost no practical reason to choose `gpt-4` now.

 ## 1.6.0 (2024-04-04)
 
 - You can now specify more than one file to translate multiple source files sequentially (#20).

 Although GPT-4 is much smarter, it is slower and much more expensive than GPT-3. Try using the GPT-3 model first, especially while you are experimenting with this tool. It's recommended to set the usage limit to a reasonable amount (e.g., $10) on the OpenAI's account management page.

 On the other hand, splitting the text into too small fragments can result in a loss of term consistency or accuracy in the translation, since there is less context available for each translation process.

-> The `gpt-4-1106-preview` model, released in November 2023, supports a massive context window, effectively allowing for unlimited prompt file size. However, since the _output_ token size is still limited to 4,096, the size of the input text is limited accordingly. Splitting a long article remains a useful approach.
