OpenAI GPT-4o: Discover the latest in voice assistant technology, innovative vision capabilities, and all the essential updates you need to know.
The advent of ChatGPT-4o marks a significant milestone in the field of artificial intelligence. GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) represents a significant advancement in natural human-computer interaction. It can take in text, audio, image, and video inputs, and produce outputs in text, audio, and image formats. It processes audio inputs remarkably fast, with response times as low as 232 milliseconds and an average of 320 milliseconds, closely mirroring human conversation speed. In terms of text and code performance in English, GPT-4o matches GPT-4 Turbo, and it excels further with non-English languages. Additionally, it’s much faster and 50% more cost-effective via API. Notably, GPT-4o surpasses existing models in vision and audio comprehension.
OpenAI Spring Update
Currently, its primary advantage lies in introducing powerful reasoning, processing, and natural language capabilities to the free version of ChatGPT for the first time. In the Spring Update announcement, the company expressed its goal of making top-tier AI widely accessible.
OpenAI showcased a groundbreaking feature of GPT-4o that could revolutionize the global travel industry: live voice translation. Functioning like human translators at international summits, ChatGPT serves as an intermediary between two individuals speaking different languages.
In the demo, OpenAI CTO Mira Murati spoke in Italian, ChatGPT translated her words into English and relayed them to her colleague Mark. He then responded in English, and ChatGPT translated his response back into Italian, speaking the words to Murati, albeit with a less-than-perfect accent.
While not flawless and expected to be available on a limited rollout in several weeks, this feature’s capability to handle interruptions and facilitate live voice-to-voice communication marks a significant advancement.
The rollout is gradual, happening in stages. Explore the features available now and those coming soon.
