All information about GPT-4o from OpenAI

The chatbot ChatGPT is entering the next round. The company OpenAI has now presented the latest variant, GPT-4o. This can now even interact with its users in real time using a human voice.

The introduction of ChatGPT has given the topic of artificial intelligence a real boom. The chatbot from OpenAI has now received a new version with GPT-4o.

This can “process audio, image and text information in real time,” as it says on the company’s website. This also means that ChatGPT can now have real conversations with people.

GPT-4o is the new version of ChatGPT

With the new version GPT-4o (“o” stands for “omni”), OpenAI wants to make the interaction between humans and computers “much more natural”. Users can now enter any combination of texts, audio files as well as images and videos into the input. And GPT-4o can also combine texts, audios and images as desired for output.

The new ChatGPT version is particularly fast. A response to an audio input only takes 232 milliseconds. According to OpenAI, this corresponds to the human reaction time and thus enables actual conversations between humans and machines.

Previous versions of ChatGPT required significantly more time. The average latency for calls with GPT-3.5 was 2.8 seconds and 5.4 seconds with GPT-4.

In example videos, OpenAI shows the possible applications for the new version of ChatGPT. For example, a math problem is solved here. However, GPT-4o does not simply provide the solution, but rather provides support with advice on possible calculation methods.

Entry works via smartphone camera, which can be used to transmit the task to ChatGPT. Questions about arithmetic are then made verbally, in which ChatGPT also answers.

The new version should remain free of charge

What may come as a surprise to many is the announcement that GPT-4o will also be available to non-paying users. Previously, OpenAI had only made many additional functions available for the paid subscription.

However, this does not apply to GPT-4o. However, Plus users will receive up to five times higher message limits for the new version of ChatGPT.

GPT-4o is also available to developers in the API as a text and image model. According to OpenAI, GPT-4o is twice faster, half the price, and has five times higher rate limits than GPT-4 Turbo.
