OpenAI unveils GPT-4o, a new flagship generative AI model that is faster and natively multimodal, rolling out for free to all ChatGPT users in the coming weeks

There are two things from our announcement today I wanted to highlight. OpenAI : Hello GPT-4o  —  We're announcing GPT-4o, our new flagship model that can reason across audio, vision, and text in real time. Clare Duffy / CNN : OpenAI unveils newest AI model, GPT-4o Zak Killian / HotHardware : OpenAI's Groundbreaking GPT-4o Teaches ChatGPT Intimate Real Time Conversation The Information : OpenAI's Impressive Engineering Feat with GPT-4o AKA ‘Her’ Nishant N / MarkTechPost : OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Desktop App: Enhancing Productivity for Mac Users OpenAI / OpenAI on YouTube : Math problems with GPT-4o Casey Newton / Platformer : ChatGPT gets an emotional upgrade Ryan Morrison / Tom's Guide : I gave 5 prompts to ChatGPT-4o vs GPT-4 to test the new AI model — here's what happened Kaye Lushington / International Business Times : Cool or cringe? GPT-4o gets remarkable capabilities; revolutionises human-AI interactions [Watch] Jon Martindale / Digital Trends : GPT-4o: What the latest ChatGPT update can do and when you can get it Luke Jones / WinBuzzer : New OpenAI GPT-4o AI Model Now Available on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service Ben Lovejoy / 9to5Mac : Incredible iPad AI tutor demo points to an incredible new world for students Jacob Ridley / PC Gamer : OpenAI unveils GPT-4o with a video of a man making small talk with his phone and I cannot pretend it's not really weird Cade Metz / New York Times : OpenAI Unveils New ChatGPT That Listens, Looks and Talks Siddharth Jindal / Analytics India Magazine : Top 10 Must Watch OpenAI GPT-4o Demos Mike Young / AIModels.fyi : Losers (and winners) from the GPT-4o announcement Daniel Croft / Cyber Daily : OpenAI's new flagship is faster, more accurate and free Emma Roth / The Verge : ChatGPT is getting a Mac app Aamir Sheikh / Cryptopolitan : OpenAI's ChatGPT-4o Can Show Feeling and Emotions OpenAI / OpenAI on YouTube : Two GPT-4os interacting and singing Matt Swider / The Shortcut : ChatGPT-4o free AI ‘comes alive’ with real-time conversational speech and emotion Mastodon : Mike Elgan (@MikeElgan@mastodon.social) Wes Davis / The Verge : OpenAI opens its GPT Store to all users for free, but the ability to create custom GPTs is still only for paid users; OpenAI debuted GPT Store on January 10 Threads: @xzed87 : $META Now that we know what Chat-GPT-4o is capable of, Meta Ray-Bans will be much more useful in the future.  Meta will own their AI, Apple will not, if the Chat-GPT talks are true.  At the end of the day, most people wont likely care whether they use Open vs Closed. … Paul Rietschka / @paul_rietschka : One of the problems I have with current LLM mania is the way we're asking too much of transformers.  These Rube Goldberg, multi-stage reasoning* monstrosities?  Ugh, no. Translation?  Why yes.  And why?  Because transformers were a revolution in NLP and, specifically, algorithmic translation. … Sung Kim / @sung.kim.mw : The most disappointing thing about OpenAI's demo is that they seem to have spent a lot of their efforts in speeding up the inference of their models, instead of pushing the boundaries of LLM or MLLM.  I was really hoping for one more thing at the end. Christopher Mims / @technicallymims : I could be totally wrong about this but I am starting to think that, as someone smarter than me put it, advances in the capabilities of today's LLMs are starting to be more of a sigmoid function than an ongoing takeoff to better and better “reasoning” like … Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life : It's wild living with the certainty that in my lifetime there is no intellectual task a human can do that can't be outperformed by a machine.  It reminds me of social media in that the technology will reshape everything and will not be entirely positive despite best intentions. Kylie Robison / @kylie.robison : I asked miramurati about Scarlett Johansson-type voice in today's demo of GPT-4o.  She clarified it's not designed to mimic her, and said someone in the audience asked this exact same question! https://www.theverge.com/... Mastodon: @simonbs@mastodon.social : Just updated my app for correcting texts using AI to use the new GPT-4o.  I'm excited to see if it makes a difference in real world use!  —  [image] Bluesky: Hens Breet / @monospace.com : In other words, a far cry from the breathless speculation over the past couple of days.  [embedded post] X: Sam Altman / @sama : her @drjimfan : I know your timeline is flooded now with word salads of “insane, HER, 10 features you missed, we're so back”. Sit down. Chill. <gasp> Take a deep breath like Mark does in the demo </gasp>. Let's think step by step: - Technique-wise, OpenAI has figured out a way to map audio to... [video] Sam Altman / @sama : hope you enjoyed! the new voice mode will be live in the coming weeks for plus users. we'll have more stuff to share soon :) Soumith Chintala / @soumithchintala : really exciting demos from @OpenAI establishing new expectations for AI. Lot of work to do on the Llama train — which isn't going to stop until we catch up! My personal feeling with gpt-4o — it feels attainable - contrasting to gpt-4 when released, it felt magically impossible. Dhravya Shah / @dhravyashah : Openai just killed all these YC startups RIP [image] Robert Scoble / @scobleizer : I already gave 1,000 hours of my voice to Elon. :-) Toby Ord / @tobyordoxford : I'm a cheerful person by disposition, but the level of cheerfulness in OpenAI's new GPT-4o is off the charts. It feels like something from Douglas Adams's Sirius Cybernetics Corp, breathing a sigh of contentment every time it makes your day. Lauren Goode / @laurengoode : “Google DeepMind last month released a paper exploring the ethical risks that may arise as AI assistants become more capable...the researchers warn that such assistants could become highly persuasive and addictive.” OpenAI: Here's a chatbot that flirts https://www.wired.com/... @sullyomarr : Man idk what OAI cooked with gpt4o but ain't no way it's only 50% cheaper for them It's: - free (srsly they've been capacity constrained forever) - 4x faster that gpt4 turbo - better at coding - can reason across 3 modalities - realtime They're definitely making killing on Simon Willison / @simonw : OK, I have GLT-4o in my ChatGPT web interface now! The biggest improvement for me looks to be Code Interpreter, having it type out the code faster makes that tool much less frustrating to wait for [image] James Vincent / @jjvincent : OpenAI emphasising voice interaction for gpt-4o is canny and somewhat telling - they're leaning into the masquerade of intelligence, voice is emotive and seductive (and they do it incredibly well) but it doesn't necessarily indicate leaps forward in capability Saman Farid / @samanfarid : It does seem like most of the releases today were engineering “bells and whistles” added on top — not a lot of new fundamental capability breakthrough. - faster - cleaner UI - multi modal - cute voice synthesis Still very far from AGI - and not improving the trajectory. Ben / @olney1ben : OpenAI desktop app for mac will require macOS 14+ with apple silicon (m1, m2, m3). OpenAI just helped Apple with an upgrade push. #ChatGPT #GPT40 [image] @swyx : Vibecheck of GPT4T vs GPT4O from AInews: + summarization quality + more concise, specific, accurate + (unevenly) better topic and highlighting choices - instruction following on links - insturction following on outputting markdown GPT4O (11.5mins) was 74% faster than GPT4T [image] Aaron Levie / @levie : If you have a multimodal AI that can do video and audio in and code out, then you essentially have democratized robotics AI. Truly crazy. @shrihacker : its so over for girls [video] @deliprao : Folks are surprised that they are giving away gpt-4o for free. They are collecting your speech prompt data silly. Remember if you are not on the team plan, unless you go through a complicated opt-out process, all your data is by default used by openai. Not surprising anymore. Gary Marcus / @garymarcus : GPT-4o hot take: • The speech synthesis is terrific, reminds me of Google Duplex (which never took off). but • If OpenAI had GPT-5, they have would shown it. • They don't have GPT-5 after 14 months of trying. • The most important figure in the blogpost is attached below. And... [image] Roon / @tszzl : towards intelligence too cheap to meter @suhail : If there's not a paper evaluating 4o by tomorrow on arxiv, we've decelerated. Patrick Moorhead / @patrickmoorhead : The ChatGPT-4o voice interaction is incredible. So far. I just spent the past half hour asking “it” verbally about the background of the people I will be meeting with, when I should leave the hotel tomorrow, the best way to get there. It nailed every single thing I fed it. Oh... Rohit / @krishnanrohit : a big takeaway for me from today's event is that GPT-5 will be a single, giant, multimodal model. today had clear “this is 3.5, look its cool” vibes, when 4's in the offing. Soumith Chintala / @soumithchintala : @swyx @OpenAI When GPT-4 was released, I think we very vastly unequipped, that was probably the biggest reason. the (Meta) GenAI organization (that is a very focused effort for Generative models, instead of a general AI research org like FAIR) started right around when GPT-4 was released.

[image] Aidan Clark / @_aidan_clark_ : 2x cheaper & faster is for English, but for other languages (especially non-latin-script) expect - thanks to our new tokenizer — even up to 9x cheaper/faster! Andrew Ng / @andrewyng : Congrats to OpenAI for the release of GPT-4o! 2x faster and 50% cheaper tokens will be great for everyone using agentic AI workflows.  When an agentic job that used to take 10min now takes 5min just by switching APIs, that's great progress! Boris Power / @borismpower : A lot more demos of GPT-4o at https://www.youtube.com/... ! Marshall Kirkpatrick / @marshallk : High quality inference at twice the speed and half the cost is a big, big deal for organizations building systems that utilize OpenAI technology. Amazing.

    2x cheaper & faster is for English, but for other languages (especially non-latin-script) expect - thanks to our new tokenizer — even up to 9x cheaper/faster!
  • @andrewyng Andrew Ng on x
    Congrats to OpenAI for the release of GPT-4o! 2x faster and 50% cheaper tokens will be great for everyone using agentic AI workflows.  When an agentic job that used to take 10min now takes 5min just by switching APIs, that's great progress!

    GPT-4o is not just limited to ChatGPT, it's also coming to the OpenAI API. GPT-4o is 4x faster and 2x cheaper than GPT-4 Turbo and comes with 5x higher rate limits. New wave of GPT-4o wrappers incoming. [image]
