OpenAI has presented GPT-4othe new Artificial Intelligence model that is capable of recognizing text, audio, video and even sensations at the same time, as well as giving responses that combine all these forms of expression.
This intermodal Artificial Intelligence (the “o” in its name refers to “omnichannel”, incorporating different language modalities in the same AI model) is available for free to all ChatGPT users (this is something new, since Not only subscribers to the paid version of ChatGPT will be able to use it). It is also already in the OpenAi API to develop them.
Until now, OpenAI had different AI models for voice and image, but GPT-4o is “clearly intermodal,” according to Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, during the presentation of this new AI model.
In addition to being able to work with different language modalities, the ability to respond to what is requested is greater and much faster, with an average of 320 milliseconds, which makes it similar to the capacity of humans.
In addition, GPT-4o is capable of identifying emotions and voice tones when receiving prompts, allowing for more optimal results. You can even interrupt them while they are offering a response, making the experience more like a real conversation.
Among its practical applications, the ability to understand and produce code, solve mathematical problems just by seeing them, and even perform translations in real time in more than 50 languages stands out.
Official ChatGPT app for Mac computers
Along with the presentation of the new GPT-4o AI model, OpenAI showed the new desktop app for ChatGPT. However, it will only be available, for the moment, for Mac computers. Windows users will have to wait and will have to continue accessing ChatGPT through the browser as before.
This is curious, since Microsoft owns almost half of OpenAI’s shares. However, the first desktop app will not arrive for Windows computers, but for its rival Mac.
