OpenAI is not slowing down in the furious race for artificial intelligence and yesterday presented a new and powerful AI model named GPT-4o. The company led by Sam Altman also raised the curtain on updates that include a new desktop service and important advances in the capabilities of the ChatGPT voice assistant.

Mira Murati , Chief Technology Officer at OpenAI , defined the new GPT-4o as a new step forward in AI. This new model will make it possible for the faster and more accurate version of GPT-4 to be accessible also to free users of this AI model, who until now had to pay to benefit from its advantages.

"We are looking at the future of human-machine interaction ," Murati said. "We think GPT-4o really changes the paradigm," he added.

Among the updates that OpenAI presented on Monday are the improved quality and greater speed of ChatGPT's capabilities with international languages. It will also be possible to upload images and audio and text documents for the model to analyze. OpenAI announced that it would gradually launch new functionalities to ensure that they are used in a 100% safe manner at all times.

Yesterday’s event by OpenAI also included a live demonstration of ChatGPT ’s new voice capabilities , with two of the company’s researchers engaging in a lively chat on stage. The voice assistant was able to illuminate a bedtime story that thematically revolved around love and robots, while the researchers asked it to speak using different emotional and vocal inflections in its voice. In another demonstration, the researchers used a phone camera to show the AI ​​model a mathematical equation, and then the ChatGPT voice assistant explained how to solve it.

During the demo, an OpenAI researcher asked the AI ​​model to read his facial expressions in belize whatsapp list order to judge his emotions. According to the ChatGPT voice assistant, the researcher seemed “happy and cheerful, with a big smile and perhaps a hint of emotion.”

“Regardless of what’s going on, you seem to be in a great mood,” ChatGPT said in a female, lively voice (similar to Scarlett Johansson’s in the movie Her ). “Would you mind sharing the source of such good vibes?” she added.

Last week, there were rumors that OpenAI would be unveiling a new search-focused product on Monday that would compete directly with Google . However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman later denied the rumors and said on Friday that his company was working on something that people would love and that, in his opinion, seemed almost like magic.

While Murati claimed during the presentation that OpenAI was taking steps to prevent ChatGPT's new voice capabilities from being misused , few details were provided during the event about safeguards for features like facial recognition and audio generation.

Meanwhile, OpenAI is reportedly on the verge of finalizing a deal with Apple to incorporate its AI features into the iPhone's operating system , according to Bloomberg . The company in Cupertino is thus trying to fill the gap in the absence of its own generative AI product that is on par with the functionality offered by its competitors.
