OpenAI has announced a new version of ChatGPT called GPT-4o, which will be rolled out to both paid and free users over the next few months.
The new GPT-4o model promises improved audio, video, and text recognition, “accepting any combination of text, audio, and images as input and producing any combination of text, audio, and image output.” says the company.
GPT-4o is also said to be twice as fast and 50% cheaper to operate than the company's previously released premium model, GPT-4 Turbo.
Alongside the actual announcement of the features and capabilities of the new model, OpenAI has published a short video demonstrating the new voice assistant features. In it, a man is talking to a voice on the phone. However, the person on the other end of the phone is not a real person, but ChatGPT, which utilizes all the upgrades mentioned above to conduct the conversation in real time.
It's impressive, and of course very unpleasant, but certainly impressive.
Improvements in voice assistants have led to many people quoting this movie online she, include OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix as a man who becomes obsessed with the operating system's voice assistant and single-handedly regains his powerful mustache. Regardless, we've all collectively chosen to ignore the harmful pseudo-relationship it portrayed, and instead focus on how great that AI voice assistant is, and how similar OpenAI is already. I'm guessing.
No, there's definitely something pretty weird about the whole video. Chat with bots, share intimate details about your life and the environment around you, and are run by wealthy tech companies. What could go wrong?
ChatGPT has features that many people find useful, and the good news is that more features are in development.
If you're learning a language (like I am), you're probably familiar with Google Translate. This tool can be helpful when you're lacking vocabulary or navigating awkward conversations abroad. However, ChatGPT wants to do even better with its recently announced GPT-4o real-time translation tool.
During the live demonstration, two OpenAI employees, one chief technology officer (CTO) Mira Murati, speak to each other in English and Italian. A cell phone running the latest model of ChatGPT was placed between them, and they handed each sentence a gist to translate. It is done fairly quickly and says each translated sentence out loud. This is the same as what a real translator would do.
Google Translate offers a similar feature, a way to record and translate live audio. This feature has also been available for a while. The difference here is that OpenAI's ChatGPT is acting as an intermediary between the two of her talking. The AI chatbot has also ranked higher in translation compared to Google Translate in independent tests, but until now only the paid version of his ChatGPT was used. GPT-4o should make better translations more widely available to everyone, although it won't happen anytime soon.
ChatGPT is deployed “iteratively” starting with text and image functionality. The updated voice mode that received the public's attention will then be made available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, but this means it will still be locked behind a paywall for the foreseeable future. To do.
Other uses for the new voice assistant include helping you with your math homework, learning languages, telling dad jokes, talking to another AI, and even awkwardly singing Happy Birthday. .
