Introducing GPT-4o: OpenAI Unveils the Next Generation AI to the World

On May 13, 2024, Open AI had a live stream where they officially introduced GPT -4o to the world, which according to the company is set to be a new, faster, and more emotive update for their natural language AI model.

Speaking about what it can do, here’s what the company CEO had to say about their new model:

“It feels like AI from the movies…Taking to a computer has never felt natural for me but now it does” –OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

For a long time, ChatGPT has wowed audiences around the world with its ability to produce quality software code and written text, but it has now elevated its game. Here are a few things we got to learn about GPT -4o from the live stream reveal:

1. Real time “thinking”

   Much in the same way we can process audio, visual, and audio inputs and respond to them in real-time, well so too can GPT-4o mimic these abilities with near real-time precision as was evident in the demo.

2. Enriching with personalities

   Besides providing impressive response times, the GPT-4o update will also give it a human-like personality which will enable it to connect with users at a very intimate level to the point that this tool will feel more like a familiar friend rather than a cold and distant algorithm.

3. Accelerated performance

   GPT-4o is also set to ramp up its capabilities, with many circles now touting it as the most powerful AI model in implementation. While that remains arguable, what’s clear is that GPT-4o is set to process text responses at least twice as fast as its previous iterations.

4. Multilingual mastery

   The new model is also set to deliver improved performances for a host of new languages. While it previously most excelled at English, it is now set to break language barriers by delivering excellent vision and performance for over 50 new languages in total.

5. A more cost-effective solution

   Compared to GPT -4 Turbo, which came out toward the latter period of 2023, GPT-4o is not just faster but also less costly. To be precise, it costs 50% less than GPT-4 turbo

6. Becoming more conversational

   Additionally, Open AI has elevated GPT-4o with impressive conversational abilities that will allow you to have natural conversations with the AI, which will also leverage audio, visual, and text to enable it to interact with the real world.

Gemini AI is basically Google’s answer to GPT-4o and it’s also a very intelligent AI model that was just recently unveiled at the company’s 2024 I/0 developer conference.
Right off the bat, a few similarities have become clear. Gemini AI and GPT-4o have elevated their conversational abilities to give their AI models more human-like abilities and personalities. Additionally, we’ve also noticed that they also bear enhanced video processing capabilities which enable them to interact with the real world in near real-time. Overall, they have very similar core features and attributes.
That being said, there are quite a number of significant differences between GPT-4o and Gemini AI, and some of them include:

• Gemini has access to data from the entire web while GPT-4o is restricted to only the training data that OpenAI has.
• GPT-4o also demonstrates faster performance than Gemini since its data retrieval processes aren’t as extensive.
• While Gemini supports up to 40 languages, GPT-4o accommodates up to 50.
• Gemini offers a customizable user interface, but this can elevate UI complexity. GPT-4o, on the other hand, has an intuitive interface with simple navigation that’s easier to pick up.
• In terms of availability, GPT-4o is free of charge and accessible to a broader audience while you can only find Gemini within specific user platforms.

The Google Gemini and GPT-4o battles are definitely getting heated as competition continues to get stiff. However, this is inevitability a good thing because if history has shown us one thing, it’s that competition will always help us stretch the boundaries of innovation much faster. So it’s not a matter of picking sides, but rather an appreciation of how far technology has come and the immense potential it shows to continue to do even more. At the end of the day, both of these AI models will make work easier for developers, marketers, and ordinary search users alike.
