The OpenAI Spring Update event just ended, so we’ll update this piece as more information becomes available.
What you should probably know
OpenAI had three pieces of news to share at its spring event.
The company started its event by unveiling GPT-4o, the latest flagship model from OpenAI.
GPT-4o delivers “GPT-4-level intelligence” to everyone, including free users.
It also improves on its predecessor in several areas, including being faster.
The live stream was relatively short, only lasting around 25 minutes.
OpenAI will roll out the new features unveiled for ChatGPT over the coming weeks.
The new voice mode in ChatGPT will first roll out to ChatGPT Plus users.
Real-time audio capabilities
OpenAI also demonstrated its real-time audio capabilities.
The demo showed ChatGPT giving feedback on how to give a live presentation.
The tool seemed conversational and to work without much delay, though the demo was short.
One thing that differentiates the latest ChatGPT version is that you’re free to interrupt it.
Later during the presentation, OpenAI translated back-and-forth between Italian and English in real-time.
Visual capabilities
you could also interact with ChatGPT using video.
The tool also correctly determined a doodle that said “I ChatGPT.”
The presenters of the live stream had ChatGPT look at a person’s face and identify his emotions.
ChatGPT said the presenter had a “big smile and a touch of excitement.”
ChatGPT then said the presenter was making it blush when told the reason for the happiness was presenting ChatGPT.
ChatGPT in action
Altman live-tweeted the live stream on X.
Here are some of his posts:
and with video mode!
