🗣️ OpenAI unveils GPT-4o and new voice capabilities

OpenAI launched GPT-4o. It’s a new multimodal AI model that processes audio, vision, text, and video in real-time. You can watch OpenAI’s full demo here.

The new model:

GPT-4o provides improved performance across text, vision, audio, coding, and non-English generations, smashing GPT-4T’s performance.
The new model is 50% cheaper to use, has 5x higher rate limits than GPT-4T, and boasts 2x the generation speed of previous models.
The new model was also revealed to be the mysterious ‘im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot’ found in the Lmsys Arena last week.

Free for everyone:

GPT-4o, GPTs, and features like memory and data analysis are now available to all users, bringing advanced capabilities to the free tier for the first time.
The GPT-4o model is currently rolling out to all users in ChatGPT and via the API, with the new voice capabilities expected to arrive over the coming weeks
