OpenAI has just unveiled its latest flagship model, GPT-4o. This remarkable model can reason across audio, vision, and text in real time.
Multimodal interaction
GPT-4o accepts any combination of text, audio, and image as input and generates corresponding outputs in any of these modalities. It’s a step toward more natural human-computer interaction.
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 speed.
Improved language understanding
It matches GPT-4 Turbo performance on English text and code, with significant improvements in non-English languages. Plus, it’s 50% cheaper in the API.
Vision and audio understanding
GPT-4o excels in understanding images and audio compared to existing models.
Training
Unlike previous Voice Mode (which used separate models), GPT-4o is trained end-to-end across text, vision, and audio. This means it processes all inputs and outputs using the same neural network.
Exploring capabilities
OpenAI is still exploring what GPT-4o can do and its limitations. It’s a promising step toward more versatile AI interactions.
