OpenAI rewrites history overnight! GPT-4o knocks over all opponents
On May 14, OpenAI announced the launch of its latest flagship generative AI model, GPT-4o, which will be integrated into OpenAI's products in phases over the coming weeks. The most surprising thing is that GPT-4o will be available to all users for free.
GPT-4o will run much faster, and the biggest highlight is the new technology used in its voice interaction mode. OpenAI has been working on allowing users to communicate with ChatGPT through their voice, as if they were talking to a real person. However, the previous version had a significant impact on the immersion of the conversation due to latency issues. GPT-4o uses a new technology to make chatbot conversations much more responsive.
Interpretation: Overnight, the AI world shook! OpenAI: This is the rhythm of overturning all opponents!
At 1 o'clock in the morning today, OpenAI held a spring online live event, releasing a blockbuster move: the release of a new flagship AI model GPT-4o.
In the live demonstration, GPT-4o behaved as if it were a real person, and the rhythm of the conversation with humans was natural and harmonious, and it was not at all audible that it was an AI.
This echoes the mystery of its name: "o" stands for "omni", which means that OpenAI has taken an important step towards more natural human-computer interaction.
OpenAI's CTO said GPT-4o is twice as fast as the existing GPT-4 Turbo, but at half the cost.
And in order to truly realize the vision of making AI benefit all mankind, GPT-4o is available in 50 languages, which means that 97% of the world's population can use GPT-4o.
This new AI model will be available to all users for free! After watching the press conference, the audience did not come out of the huge shock for a long time.
Over the past few years, OpenAI has been focusing on making its models more intelligent. Although the latter has reached a considerable level, today for the first time, the model has taken a big step forward in terms of ease of use! Because no matter how powerful an AI is, if it can't interact effectively with people, it will lose its meaning.
At present, Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri, and Google's Gemini can only respond mechanically in voice conversations, which is significantly different from GPT-4o's performance.
It can be said that the release of GPT-4o will become a watershed moment and completely enter a new stage in the paradigm of human-machine collaboration!
Coincidentally, tomorrow wee hours will be the day of Google's 2024 developer conference, and AI will also be the highlight of the conference. Therefore, some analysts believe that OpenAI has given Google a disadvantage in advance.
In February this year, as soon as Google launched the Gemini 1.5 series of large models, OpenAI took the lead and launched the AI video generation model Sora, stealing the limelight.
Now that OpenAI has declared war again, can Google catch this wave of challenges? The answer will be revealed in the early hours of tomorrow morning, so let's wait and see.
With a 100% tax increase, the United States wants to do something to Chinese cars?
The U.S. government is preparing to announce major adjustments to tariffs against China, with a particular focus on other strategically important industries such as electric vehicles and solar cells.
Bloomberg reports that the major change, which is expected to be announced in the coming days, involves a significant increase in tariffs on electric vehicles, from the current rate of about 25% to an unprecedented 100%. In addition, Bloomberg reported that a new tariff of 2.5% will be imposed on all cars imported from China into the United States.
The move is part of a larger effort to expand the definition of Section 301, which was originally implemented by former President Donald Trump's administration in 2018 to realign and increase economic pressure on China in specific high-risk industries.
Interpretation: Just when China's electric vehicles were killing all sides overseas, the United States finally couldn't sit still. According to Biden's latest plan, tariffs on electric vehicles in China will be raised to 100%.
As soon as the news came out, Trump immediately jumped out and said that Chinese electric vehicle companies have begun to try to build cars in Mexico and ship electric vehicles to the United States to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance.
Trump said that if he was elected, he would impose a 200 percent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles made in Mexico.
Although the opinions of these two people have always been at odds, they have reached a consensus on suppressing the development of China's new energy vehicle industry.
The U.S. move is aimed at improving U.S. tariff strategy, focusing on the end of a broad review process in sectors critical to future technologies and energy transitions.
By strategically targeting industries such as electric vehicles, batteries and solar cells, the government intends to strengthen local industries while weakening China's dominance in these important markets, Bloomberg noted.
According to Bloomberg, the review process is finally scheduled to be announced next Tuesday, and although there may be delays, a key shift in US policy is to preserve its position in the global economic competition with China, especially in areas that are critical to the green technology revolution.
Some industry insiders said that CATL and other major green energy industry manufacturers have reduced their exports to the United States, and everyone knows that there are risks.
In fact, since the second half of last year, European and American countries have increasingly surfaced wariness of China's electric vehicle industry.
In 2023, the European Commission announced the launch of a countervailing investigation into EV imports from China. At the same time, the United States has been increasing tariffs and announcing relevant bills to attack China's electric vehicles in the entire industry.
Not only that, while tightening restrictions on China's electric vehicles, Europe and the United States are also trying to exert influence in public opinion. Since last year, the European and American media have first created a hype that new energy vehicles are not the right path for future automobile development, and then senior officials have successively made statements about China's electric vehicle overcapacity.
For the United States, the suppression of China's electric vehicles is on the one hand a domestic political need to protect its own auto industry. On the other hand, it still hopes to guide and influence other countries to take similar confrontational actions, and pull up a net in the international community to contain the development of China's new energy industry.
However, in today's era of economic globalization, this practice of the United States is obviously contrary to the wheel of history.
The entry of foreign automakers into the local market will indeed have a certain impact on the sales of local automakers, but in the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. For example, China's introduction of Tesla into the Chinese market to stimulate domestic car companies is a smart move. This inclusiveness will also promote China's new energy vehicle market to continue to lead.
All in all, the high tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese cars will not stifle the development of China's new energy vehicles, but may reap the consequences, resulting in the lack of vitality in the American auto market and the loss of ambition of car companies.

With a loss of $130,000 for every electric car sold, Ford cut battery orders to ease the pressure
According to Bloomberg news on May 13, Ford has begun to cut battery orders to reduce the financial pressure on the company of Modele electric vehicles.
Ford's strategic contractions include cutting spending on battery models by US$12 billion (currently about 86.88 billion yuan), delaying new electric vehicles, cutting prices, and postponing and shrinking planned battery plants.

According to the news, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 chip is redesigned to face the Apple A18, with a target frequency of 4.26GHz
According to source jasonwill101, Qualcomm is currently redesigning the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor with a new target frequency of 4.26GHz, a change that is mainly in response to Apple's M4 / A18 / Pro processors. It is reported that Qualcomm is optimistic about the redesigned processor, and they believe that thanks to TSMC's 3nm "N3E" process, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is indeed expected to be able to reach the relevant target frequency.
However, it's also worth noting that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 doesn't support the Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) feature, which may be a new target frequency of 4.26GHz for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, given that Apple already uses the ARMv9 architecture and supports Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) technology, and Qualcomm competitors lack relevant features. However, it seems that phone manufacturers need to adopt a larger heatsink area to keep the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 running at high performance.
