GPT-4o: OpenAI’s new model is faster, free, and talks to you

GPT-4o launched a new flagship model

  • OpenAI launched GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”), a new flagship model that’s much faster and better at understanding audio, vision, and text.
  • The advanced voice mode feels incredibly natural, allowing for real-time, conversational dialogue.
  • Many of these new features are being rolled out to free users of ChatGPT.

OpenAI just made its best model smarter, faster, and free for more people. GPT-4o can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds—about as fast as a human in a conversation. This makes interacting with the AI’s voice feel fluid and less like talking to a robot.

Perhaps the biggest news is that OpenAI is giving free users access to these powerful features. This move is seen as a direct challenge to competitors and a way to get its technology into the hands of as many people as possible, accelerating adoption.
