OpenAI Launches GPT-4o and More Features for ChatGPT?:
GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) is OpenAI’s new flagship model that can reason across audio, vision, and text in real-time. It’s a significant step toward more natural human-computer interaction. Here are some key features of GPT-4o:
-
Multimodal Input and Output:
- GPT-4o accepts any combination of text, audio, and image as input.
- It generates responses in any combination of text, audio, and image outputs.
- For instance, you can speak to it, show it an image, and receive a coherent response that combines text, audio, and visual elements.
-
GPT-4o Fast Response Time:
- GPT-4o can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds—similar to human conversation response time.
- It’s a significant improvement over previous models.
-
Language Support and Performance:
- GPT-4o performs well on text in English and code, similar to GPT-4 Turbo.
- However, it excels in non-English languages and is much faster and 50% cheaper in the API.
- It supports over 50 languages, covering more than 97% of speakers.
-
Vision and Audio Understanding:
- GPT-4o surpasses existing models in vision and audio understanding.
- It can process images and audio alongside text, making it more versatile.
-
End-to-End Training:
- Unlike previous models, GPT-4o is trained end-to-end across text, vision, and audio.
- All inputs and outputs are processed by the same neural network.
- This means it can directly observe tone, multiple speakers, background noises, and even express emotions like laughter or singing.
-
Exploring Capabilities:
- openAI still exploring what GPT-4o can do and its limitations.
- It’s a groundbreaking model that opens up exciting possibilities for natural interaction with AI.
