OpenAi just released its new model GPT-4o
OpenAI has just released its new model, GPT-4o, which is available to non-paying users through its chatbot ChatGPT and via the API at half the cost of its previous model, GPT-4 Turbo. The “o” in GPT-4o stands for “omni,” reflecting the model's enhanced versatility in handling various input and output modalities. This new model boasts improved capabilities in vision and audio understanding.
During the livestream event for the release, CTO Mira Murati asked the chatbot to tell a bedtime story about robots and love, which GPT-4o performed with minimal latency. This marks a significant breakthrough in large language models, making interactions as smooth as conversing with a human and enabling many new use cases. The new model can translate conversations between people speaking different languages in real time.
Compared to other GPT models, GPT-4o is faster and costs half as much as GPT-4 Turbo when accessed via the API. In terms of throughput and latency, it competes with top models like Llama3, Claude 3 Haiku, and Mixtral 8x7B.
Here is a comparison of the latest GPT models:
| Model | Price | Knowledge Cutoff | Context Window |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPT-4o (2024-05-13) | $5/$15 per 1M tokens | October 2023 | 128,000 |
| GPT-4 Turbo (2024-04-09) | $10/$30 per 1M tokens | December 2023 | 128,000 |
| GPT-4 (0613) | $30/$60 per 1M tokens | September 2021 | 8,192 |
I can't wait to see what’s next with GPT-5! There's both excitement and concern as we move closer to AGI. I'd love to hear your thoughts about new use cases and safety concerns!
