On Monday, OpenAI debuted its newest artificial intelligence (AI) model, GPT-4o, designed to be more intuitive and user-friendly than its predecessor, GPT-4. The new model is capable of engaging in real-time dialogue, and interacting with users through text, voice, and even "vision", according to a statement from the company.
According to OpenAI's statement, the new AI model allows ChatGPT to discuss visual and audio input, including screenshots, photos, documents, and voice recording. The new technology will also feature memory capabilities, allowing it to recall previous user interactions and perform real-time translations, according to CNN.
The release of GPT-4o keeps OpenAI ahead at the forefront of the AI gold rush as rivals like Google and Meta are also working on advanced large language models to power their chatbots, according to CNN. Google's Gemini, similar to GPT-4o, is "multimodal" and can process text, images, and audio. With Apple planning AI announcements for its future products, OpenAI's move adds to the competitive landscape.
According to OpenAI's statement, the new GPT-4o model will be accessible with its free tier, with additional features available to paying members. The upgraded features are expected to become available to ChatGPT in the coming months.
