“This is the first time we've really taken a big step forward in terms of ease of use,” Murati said.
Microsoft-backed OpenAI is valued by investors at more than $80 billion. Founded in 2015, the company is under pressure to stay on top of the generative AI market while finding ways to make money, as it spends huge amounts on processors and infrastructure to build and train models. I am.
The new model also improves the quality and speed of ChatGPT, which supports 50 different languages and is also available through OpenAI's API, so developers can start building applications using the new model today, Murati said. says Mr. Murati says the GPT-4o is twice as fast as his GPT-4 Turbo and half the cost.
OpenAI team members demonstrated the new model's audio capabilities and asked for help calming down before taking to the streets. OpenAI researcher Mark Chen said the model has the ability to “recognize emotions”, adding that the model can also respond to user intervention. The team also asked users to analyze their facial expressions and comment on the emotions they might be experiencing.
“Hey, what's up? How can I brighten your day today?” ChatGPT's audio mode notifies you when you say hello.
Mr. Chen demonstrated the models' ability to tell bedtime stories, asking them to change the tone of their voices to be more dramatic or robotic. He even asked it to sing a story.
OpenAI's new model can also function as a translator in audio mode, the company said. Cheng listened to Murati speak in Italian while speaking English, demonstrating the tool's ability to translate into each language during the conversation.
Team members also demonstrated the model's ability to solve mathematical equations and help write code, positioning it as a strong competitor to Microsoft's own GitHub Copilot.
For OpenAI, this is one of the company's biggest announcements since August, when it introduced ChatGPT Enterprise, the business layer of its AI chatbots. OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap told CNBC at the time that the tool was developed in “less than a year” and involved more than 20 companies of various sizes and industries.
OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google are leading the generative AI gold rush as companies across all industries race to add AI-powered chatbots and agents to their core services to avoid being left behind by competitors. . Earlier this month, OpenAI rival Anthropic announced its first enterprise product and free iPhone app.
According to PitchBook, a record $29.1 billion was invested in nearly 700 generative AI deals in 2023, an increase of more than 260% year over year. Market revenue is predicted to exceed $1 trillion within 10 years.
Some in the industry have expressed concerns about the speed with which untested new services are brought to market, and academics and ethicists are concerned that the technology tends to propagate bias. .
Since its launch in November 2022, ChatGPT has broken the record at the time as the fastest growing consumer app in history and now has approximately 100 million weekly active users. According to OpenAI, more than 92% of Fortune 500 companies use its platform.
Murati said at Monday's event that OpenAI wants to “remove some of the mysticism from technology.”
“We plan to roll out these features to everyone in the coming weeks,” Murati added.
She concluded by thanking Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and his company for providing the graphics processing units (GPUs) needed to power OpenAI's technology.
“I want to thank the amazing OpenAI team, and I also want to thank Jensen and the Nvidia team for providing the cutting-edge GPUs to make this demo possible today,” she said.
