How do I get access? I just checked my app and the Premium upgrade says it will unlocked GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, so I assume my version is still the old one. All my apps are updated in the App Store too.

I just checked, there was an iOS app update available and it enabled it. I'd check again if there's a new update (version 1.2024.129). Or you could use the website.

I'm on the same version and don't see anything different

Website also only has toggle for 3.5 and 4 with the Plus upgrade. Not sure if it's cause I'm in Canada?

> GPT-4o: out Is it? I can't use it yet at least

It is. I've got it already, but I'm a bit of a gpt4 power user. I hit my rate limit biweekly or so and run up close to it every day. I'd bet maybe they prioritized people that were costing them money.

Really? You have the new model, sure, I have it too, but afaik nobody has the new ultra fast and variable voice + video chat on mobile.

The amount of negativity in these comments is astounding. Congrats to the teams at Google on what they have built, and hoping for more competition and progress in this space.

Not nearly as impressive as Sora. Sora was impressive because the clips were long and had lots of rapid movement since video models tend to fall apart when the movement isn't easy to predict. By comparison, the shots here are only a few seconds long and almost all look like slow motion or slow panning shots cherrypicked because they don't have that much movement. Compare that to Sora's videos of people walking in rea…

Objectively speaking (if people would be honest with themselves), both are just decent at best.

I think comparing them now is probably not that useful outside of this AI hype train. Like comparing two children. A lot can happen.

The bigger message I am getting from this is it's clear OpenAI won't have a super AI monopoly.

I hate to be so cynical, but I'm dreading the inevitable flood of AI generated video spam. We really are about this close to infinite jest. Imagine TikTok's algorithm with on demand video generation to suit your exact tastes. It may erase the social aspect, but for many users I doubt that would matter too much. "Lurking" into oblivion.

YouTube’s endgame is to not need content creators in the loop any more. The algorithm will just create everything

The endgame of that is that people will leave.

How did I know I would see this message before clicking "Sign up to try"?

Can you explain this aspect of infinite jest to me without spoiling the book?

I use their website and it's one of the three models to choose from if your are on plus subscription.

To quote Twitter/X, "I wonder what OpenAI will release tomorrow and Google will release a waitlist for." GPT-4o: out Veo: waitlist Admittedly this is impressive and the direct comp would be Sora, which isn't out, but sometimes the caricature is very close to the truth.

I haven’t been able to try out 4o. The voice chat continuously says there’s too much traffic and I don’t even see a button to turn on the camera
