OpenAI CEO Sam Altman responded to questions from netizens today and said that ChatGPT Plus users will be offered a new version next week.The voice mode of GPT-4o is released in Alpha version to achieve seamless chat.
In May this year, OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Muri Murati said in a speech:
In GPT-4o, we train a new unified model end-to-end across text, vision, and audio, meaning that all inputs and outputs are processed by the same neural network.
Since GPT-4o is our first model to combine all of these modalities, we are still in the early stages of exploring the model’s capabilities and its limitations.
OpenAI originally planned to invite a small number of ChatGPT Plus users to test the GPT-4o voice model at the end of June this year, but the official announced a postponement in June, saying that more time was needed to polish the model and improve its ability to detect and reject certain content.
According to previously disclosed information, the average voice feedback delay of the GPT-3.5 model is 2.8 seconds, while the delay of the GPT-4 model is 5.4 seconds, so it is not very good in voice communication.The upcoming GPT-4o can greatly reduce latency and enable nearly seamless conversations..
