Recently, OpenAI once again led the industry with the release of a new generation of voice AI system GPT-4o. This marks that human-computer interaction has entered a new stage, and the intelligence level of voice assistants will be further improved.
GPT-4o enables millisecond-level responses and multimodal understanding for seamless and natural conversations. It also opens up some functions for free to benefit the majority of users. Industry insiders believe that this will have a revolutionary impact on user experience and work productivity.
GPT-4o is epoch-making. It is OpenAI's first end-to-end trained unified model across text, vision, and audio, which inferentiates directly on the audio signal without transitioning the process of transcribing text, greatly reducing latency and achieving millisecond-level responses.
This allows GPT-4o to interact with voice smoothly and naturally without noticeable pauses, as if you were talking to a real person.
At the same time, GPT-4o has built-in multi-modal capabilities such as multiple languages and visual processing, which can intuitively understand visual information such as images and videos while maintaining semantic consistency.
GPT-4o has reached the level of GPT-4 in terms of performance, and even surpassed it in some aspects. Its performance on English text tasks is not inferior to GPT-4, and its ability to understand non-English text has also been greatly improved.
In addition, GPT-4o has set new records in multiple benchmarks such as common sense reasoning, speech recognition, and speech translation. This means that GPT-4o is not only powerful in language, but also superior in visual and multilingual aspects.
At present, GPT-4o has been implemented in ChatGPT. Free users can experience GPT-4-level interactions, use search engines to boost results, analyze data, create charts, and more.
This allows more users to share the benefits of top-tier AI. At the same time, the desktop version of ChatGPT has also been launched, which supports features such as quick start, voice interaction, and screenshot questions, so that GPT-4o can truly be integrated into the workflow.
API performance has also improved, allowing developers to build a wider range of applications.
The release of GPT-4o heralds a new phase of human-computer interaction. Before it, there was a significant delay in the voice assistant talking to the human and could not respond in milliseconds; Unable to understand both speech and visual information at the same time.
GPT-4o pushes these boundaries and is closer to the natural fluidity of human interaction. The user does not need to adapt to the machine, and the machine in turn adapts to the human. This will not only bring the quality of voice assistant service to a new level, but also promote the popularization and application of AI in more scenarios.
At the same time, GPT-4o also sends a strong signal to the industry that the ease of use of human-computer interaction is equally important, even more critical than simply improving the model's capabilities.
OpenAI has vigorously optimized the design of the interactive experience this time, so that AI is truly close to human habits, and also reminds other companies that they cannot ignore this.
In the future, voice AI will be more humane, designed for friendly interaction for all ages, rather than unilaterally pursuing technical indicators. OpenAI hopes that GPT-4o will become a new model and lead the industry forward.
The advent of GPT-4o marks a new stage of development for speech AI. It enables amazing responsiveness and multimodal capabilities, laying a new foundation for human-machine interaction.
OpenAI continues to break through itself and seamlessly embed cutting-edge technology into its products, which also benefits the majority of users. We have reason to believe that GPT-4o is just the beginning, and there will be more breakthroughs to come, bringing unimaginable possibilities.
The era of voice AI is accelerating, let's wait and see!
