OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, on Monday launched its AI model GPT-4o, a highly advanced voice assistant that answers like a human and can also read your emotions through the camera on your smartphone.

"GPT-4o is what Siri wanted to be," echoes many analysts, who are impressed by the speed with which OpenAi is launching groundbreaking technology.

What is particularly striking: is how human ChatGPT's voice assistant sounds. Conversation with the robot, at least in the demo, is much more fluid than we are used to from Apple's Siri, for example.

  • "You look cheerful, with a hint of excitement. Would you like to tell me wwhy you are so good-humored?" the machine asked an OpenAI engineer in a female voice, interpreting his face. When he replied that he was showing the audience how "useful and wonderful" she responded with "Ah stop, you're making me blush."
  • Part of the reason the conversations sound acutely human is because GPT-4o - the "o," by the way, stands for "omni" - can handle interruptions in conversation, which is sometimes a problem with Siri.
  • For example, the new AI application can use conversation to help solve a math problem.
  • Moreover, GPT-4o also appears to be able to translate smoothly (into Italian in the demo). That offers numerous commercial opportunities for call centers, for example.

The good news: is that OpenAI will also make the new model available without payment, making it available to the general public. Paying users will get limits five times higher than those of free users.

Worth noting: Mira Murati, the technology director at OpenAI, also threw a flower at Nvidia during the demo. Without that company's superchips, GPT-4o would not be possible, it sounded.

Another this: Will GPT-4o and Siri soon come closer together? OpenAI is already close to a deal with Apple to integrate ChatGPT into iOS 18.
