[Free 5 Ways to Experience OpenAI’s Spring Updates] OpenAI wrapped up its spring updates. We have a new model, free intelligence, and glimpses of HER.

OpenAI Reveals AI Voice Assistant in ChatGPT: GPT-4o and Free Intelligence Announced

What is going on here?

OpenAI announces GPT-4o and updates to ChatGPT’s free tier.

What does this mean?

These spring updates can be broken down into two main parts:

New model GPT-4o and HER: O stands for Omni. GPT-4o is trained from scratch on text, vision, and audio, and it can natively output these modalities. These fundamental capabilities make an assistant like HER possible.

If you don’t know HER, we’re talking about the 2013 movie where a man falls in love with Samantha — an AI assistant.

Like Samantha, the new model can see you, hear you, and respond with speech suitable to the situation. The model can change the tone and style of response in real-time, pause when you interrupt, and understand emotions. It’s better to see and hear her 😉.

More about the model: It’s 2x faster and 50% cheaper than GPT-4 Turbo, but performs better on benchmarks.
