OpenAI’s GPT-4o unifies text, vision, and audio in real-time, redefining how users interact with AI.

On May 13, 2024, OpenAI unveiled GPT-4o ("o" for "omni"), a groundbreaking model capable of processing and generating text, images, and audio simultaneously. Unlike its predecessors, GPT-4o natively supports voice-to-voice interactions, enabling real-time conversations with response times as low as 232 milliseconds.

Key features include:

Multimodal Capabilities: GPT-4o can understand and generate content across text, images, and audio, allowing for more dynamic interactions.

Enhanced Performance: Achieves state-of-the-art results in various benchmarks, including an 88.7 score on the Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) benchmark.

Language Support: Supports over 50 languages, covering more than 97% of global speakers.

This advancement opens doors for applications in real-time translation, interactive education, and more immersive AI experiences.
