> 11:43 Fields are generated in the same order that you defined them in the schema, even though JSON is supposed to ignore key order. This ensures you can implement things like chain-of-thought by adding those keys in the correct order in your schema design.

Why not use an array of key value pairs if you want to maintain ordering without breaking traditional JSON rules?

[ {key1:value1}, {key2:value2} ]

Holy crud, I figured they would guard this for a long time and I was really salivating to make some stuff with it. The doors are wide open for all sorts of stuff now, Advanced Voice is the first feature since ChatGPT initially came out that really has my jaw on the floor.

Try notebook LM, it's the chatgpt moment for Google's deepmind

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's probably stuck in legal limbo in the EU. The recently passed EU AI Act prohibits "AI systems aiming to identify or infer emotions", and Advanced Voice does definitely infer the user's emotions. (There is an exemption for "AI systems placed on the market strictly for medical or safety reasons, such as systems intended for therapeutical use", but Advanced Voice probably doesn't benefit from that exemption.)

Apparently this prohibition only applies to "situations related to the workplace and education", and, in this context, "That prohibition should not cover AI systems placed on the market strictly for medical or safety reasons"

So it seems to be possible to use this in a personal context.

https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/recital/44/

> Therefore, the placing on the market, the putting into service, or the use of AI systems intended to be used to detect the emotional state of individuals in situations related to the workplace and education should be prohibited. That prohibition should not cover AI systems placed on the market strictly for medical or safety reasons, such as systems intended for therapeutical use.

From the Realtime API blog post: https://openai.com/index/introducing-the-realtime-api/

> Audio in the Chat Completions API will be released in the coming weeks, as a new model `gpt-4o-audio-preview`. With `gpt-4o-audio-preview`, developers can input text or audio into GPT-4o and receive responses in text, audio, or both.

> The Realtime API uses both text tokens and audio tokens. Text input tokens are priced at $5 per 1M and $20 per 1M output tokens. Audio input is priced at $100 per 1M tokens and output is $200 per 1M tokens. This equates to approximately $0.06 per minute of audio input and $0.24 per minute of audio output. Audio in the Chat Completions API will be the same price.

As usual, OpenAI failed to emphasize the real-game changer feature at their Dev Day: audio output from the standard generation API.

This has severe implications for text-to-speech apps, particularly if the audio output style is as steerable as the gpt-4o voice demos.

I've never seen a company publishing consistently groundbreaking features at such a speed like this one. I really wonder how their teams work. It's unprecedented at what i've seen in 15 years software

I wonder how much they use their own products internally to speed up development and decisions.

Yes, but it works with a vpn and the change in latency isn’t big enough to have a noticeable impact on usability.
