OpenAI Unveils New ChatGPT AI Chatbot With Enhanced Text, Vision, and Audio Capabilities
OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence research company, has announced the launch of its latest version of the ChatGPT AI chatbot. The new version boasts near-instant results across text, vision, and audio, making it a significant improvement from its previous versions.
According to the company, the new ChatGPT AI chatbot is much better at understanding visuals and sounds, allowing for real-time “conversations” with the chatbot. This includes the ability to interrupt its answers, giving users a more natural and fluid experience.
In a statement, OpenAI stated that the new chatbot “accepts as input any combination of text, audio, and image and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs.” This makes it a versatile and powerful tool for various applications.
The new version, GPT-4o, is set to be rolled out over the next few weeks, amidst a fierce competition among tech companies to develop more advanced AI tools. The company showcased some of the chatbot’s capabilities, including real-time language translation, solving math problems using its vision capability, and guiding a blind person around London.
One of the most impressive features of the new ChatGPT AI chatbot is its response time. It can respond to audio in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, which is comparable to human response time.
To address concerns about bias, fairness, and misinformation, OpenAI has enlisted the help of 70 external experts to extensively test the new version. This effort is crucial, especially after Google’s recent PR blunder involving images generated by its Gemini AI system.
The GPT-4o model will be available for free, but premium “Plus” users will have a higher capacity limit for messages. Previous versions of the chatbot have raised concerns in academic settings, as some students have used it to cheat by producing convincing essays. When it was first launched two years ago, ChatGPT became the fastest-ever app to reach 100 million active monthly users.
The announcement of the new chatbot also puts OpenAI ahead of Google, which is expected to showcase its own new AI features at its annual developers’ conference tomorrow. With its enhanced capabilities and rigorous testing, the new ChatGPT AI chatbot is set to revolutionize the way we interact with AI technology.
