from what i understand, the big change in chat-gpt4 was that the model could “ask for help” from other tools: for maths, it knew it was a maths problem, transformed it to something a specialised calculation app could do, and then passed it off to that other code to do the actual calculation
same thing for a lot of its new features; it was asking specialised software to do the bits it wasn’t good at

Chat GPT will just become a front end for Wolfram Alpha?
that would actually be great
It literally can do that, yes. But the plug-in version is separate and requires a subscription.
And those plugins are like beta release quality at best. Even the web searching capability is just meh
