OpenAI, the company behind the famous intelligent chat system ChatGPT, has launched a new generative artificial intelligence model called Chat GPT 4o . This version, which offers improved capabilities in the production and understanding of text, images and sounds, will be available for free .
In a virtual press conference, Mira Murati, CTO of the California-based start-up, expressed her excitement about this development, stating: “ We are very, very excited to introduce GPT-4o to all of our free users .”
According to a post on the OpenAI blog, the new GPT-4o Chat capabilities will be rolled out gradually. However, text and image features will begin to be available immediately .
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman highlighted on social network Additionally, he mentioned that developers interested in experimenting with GPT-4o will have access to the API, which is half as expensive and twice as fast as GPT-4-turbo.
Planned release?
Before the launch there was conflicting speculation about OpenAI’s plans. Some reports suggested that the company could be preparing to launch an artificial intelligence search engine to compete with Google and Perplexity, a voice assistant built into GPT-4, or an entirely new model, the GPT-5. The GPT-4o release date was strategically chosen just before Google I/O, Google’s main conference, where the Gemini team is anticipating the presentation of several AI products, according to The Verge.
Likewise, US officials indicated that they would take advantage of the first debate on the “risks” of artificial intelligence between China and the United States, which is taking place today to express their concerns about Chinese advances in the field of AI.
Representatives of both countries are meeting in Geneva, in a dialogue promised by US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping during a summit last year in California.
How to access Chat GPT 4o?
The new version of GPT can now be used, as OpenAI has made access easier for all users. To access, you just have to log in and start using it. You will be able to see this new version in the upper left part of the screen. If you only see “GPT-3.5”, it means you don’t have access yet and should wait, as the rollout may be gradual and slower than anticipated.
An important aspect is that OpenAI is giving priority to “Plus” and “Team” version customers, who are its paying users. It is expected that during the first few days there will be high demand for the service, so free ChatGPT users will have to wait or try to log in from time to time to use GPT-4o.
