OpenAI is introducing a new flagship generative AI model called GPT-4o, which will be gradually integrated into the company’s developer and consumer products in the upcoming weeks. Despite rumors of a search engine launch, CEO Sam Altman has denied such claims.
OpenAI’s CTO, Muri Murati, announced that GPT-4o provides intelligence comparable to GPT-4 and enhances text, vision, and audio capabilities.
Murati emphasized the increasing complexity of these models and the goal of facilitating natural and effortless interactions, focusing on collaboration with GPTs rather than the UI.

The previous model, GPT-4, could process text and images, such as extracting text from images or describing their content. GPT-4o now extends these capabilities to include speech.
GPT-4o revolutionizes the ChatGPT experience, allowing for more interactive and assistant-like interactions. Users can now interrupt ChatGPT during responses, with the model offering real-time responsiveness and detecting emotional cues in the user’s voice.
GPT-4o also enhances ChatGPT’s visual abilities, swiftly responding to queries ranging from software code analysis to identifying clothing brands.
Starting today, the new model is accessible in the free tier of ChatGPT and is also available to OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus subscribers with higher message limits and plans to introduce a new voice feature in the future.
