GPT-4o Launch Event

What is GPT-4o?

GPT-4o, where “o” stands for “omni,” is the culmination of extensive research and development aimed at creating a more natural and intuitive way for machines to understand and respond to human queries. Unlike its predecessors, GPT-4o integrates capabilities across different modalities — text, vision, and audio — into a single model, which allows it to process and generate information across these formats effectively.

Key Features and Improvements

Speed and Efficiency

GPT-4o responds to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, closely mirroring human reaction times in conversations. This is a dramatic improvement over previous models, which had response times up to several seconds.

Multilingual and Multimodal Integration

The model excels not only in handling English and code but has shown significant improvements in understanding…
