OpenAI's newest model is GPT-4o

OpenAI is releasing a new flagship generative AI model called GPT-4o, set to roll out “iteratively” across the company’s products over the next few weeks.

OpenAI CTO Muri Murati said that GPT-4o provides “GPT-4-level” intelligence but improves on GPT-4’s capabilities across text and vision as well as audio.

“GPT-4o reasons across voice, text and vision,” Murati said at a keynote presentation at OpenAI’s offices.

GPT-4, OpenAI’s previous leading model, was trained a combination of both images and text, and could analyze images and text to accomplish tasks like extracting text from images or even describing the content of those images. But GPT-4o adds speech to the mix.

In other news, OpenAI is releasing desktop version of ChatGPT and a refreshed UI.

“We know that these models [are getting] more and more complex, but we want the experience of interaction to actually become more natural, easy, and for you not to focus on the UI at all, but just focus on the collaboration with [GPTs],” Murati said.
