OpenAI's New Free AI Model, GPT-4o, Makes ChatGPT Smarter

OpenAI launched GPT-4o on May 13, calling it their fastest and most powerful AI yet. Unlike the previous GPT-4, which was for paid users, GPT-4o is free for everyone.

What is GPT-4o? GPT-4o, short for "Omni," is a revolutionary AI that can handle text, audio, and images, making it multimodal. This makes it a big improvement in human-computer interaction. Users can input and receive responses in various formats, making it more versatile.

OpenAI CTO Mira Murati highlighted its user-friendliness. GPT-4o acts like a digital personal assistant, offering real-time translations, facial recognition, and spoken conversations.

Features and Technology GPT-4o can understand and interact using text and vision, viewing and discussing images and documents. It remembers past interactions to improve responses. Unlike older models needing multiple systems for different tasks, GPT-4o uses one unified model for text, vision, and audio. This integration allows it to process inputs more holistically, understanding tone, background noise, and emotions.

Performance and Availability GPT-4o is fast, with response times similar to human conversation, and supports multiple languages, making it accessible globally. It has advanced audio and vision capabilities, like solving equations in real-time and recognizing emotions and objects on camera.

Impact and Availability Launching amid intense AI competition, GPT-4o benefits Microsoft's integration efforts with OpenAI. It preempts updates from competitors like Google and Apple. The model's text and image features are already available, with audio and video to follow gradually.

Limitations and Safety GPT-4o, while advanced, is still evolving. Some features, like audio outputs, are initially limited. OpenAI has built-in safety measures, but acknowledges ongoing efforts are needed to handle complex tasks and emerging risks like cybersecurity and bias.
