OpenAI CTO Mira Murati has announced that the new version of ChatGPT, GPT-4o, will be free for everyone! Here are the details. OpenAI officially introduced ChatGPT’s new model, GPT-4o, at today’s Spring Update event! The most significant announcement is that the artificial intelligence model will be released for free for everyone, not just premium users.
What can the free GPT-4o do? The innovations within GPT-4o will be rolled out to users in the coming weeks. Additionally, there will be no need to sign up for ChatGPT anymore. Furthermore, you’ll also have access to data, code, and image tools that allow you to analyze images without payment. This raises questions about whether it’s worth paying $20 a month for ChatGPT in this scenario.
OpenAI CTO Mira Murati states that the biggest benefit for paying users will be the ability to make five times more requests to GPT-4o per day compared to the free plan. ChatGPT is regularly used by over 100 million people, and GPT-4o will be significantly more efficient than previous GPT-4 versions. Let’s delve into the details.
GPT-4o will have the ability to reason over voice, text, and images This means that in this new version, you’ll be able to have real-time conversations with ChatGPT, much like Siri, and it can do almost anything. However, it seems that this model will surpass Siri because it can not only respond to your voice
In one demo, when OpenAI staff approached the voice assistant quickly, it could offer advice on improving breathing techniques. It even gives a warning like “you are not a vacuum cleaner, stay calm”.
This model is so intelligent that you don’t have to wait for it to finish its sentence. You can intervene in real-time. Additionally, it can also perceive emotional states.
You can change OpenAI’s voice as you like In another demo as part of the ChatGPT Voice update, OpenAI’s voice has the ability to be natural as well as dramatic and emotional. The model can produce different voices, including different tones and the ability to sing.
Another feature of the new ChatGPT is its local vision capabilities. This essentially means the ability to “see” through the camera on your phone. During the demo, the team showed ChatGPT an equation they had written at the moment and asked the AI to help them solve it. The model not only provides answers but also provides step-by-step guidance.
ChatGPT desktop application is also coming. Using a highly natural voice and running on a Mac, GPT-4o can now view and analyze written code. It can also explain what it sees and identify any potential issues. During the demo, the AI was able to examine a graph and provide real-time feedback and information.
A specific release date for GPT-4o has not yet been given, but it is said to be released in the coming weeks. What do you think? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.
