This is really impressive engineering. I thought real time agents would completely change the way we're going to interact with large models but it would take 1~2 more years. I wonder what kind of new techs are developed to enable this, but OpenAI is fairly secretive so we won't be able to know their sauce. On the other hand, this also feels like a signal that reasoning capability has probably already been plateaued a…

Reliable agents in diverse domains need better reasoning ability and fewer hallucinations. If the rumored GPT-5 and Q* capabilities are true, such agents could become available soon after it’s launched.

This thing continues to stress my skepticism for AI scaling laws and the broad AI semiconductor capex spending. 1- OpenAI is still working in GPT-4-level models. More than 14 months after the launch of GPT-4 and after more than $10B in capital raised. 2- The rhythm that token prices are collapsing is bizarre. Now a (bit) better model for 50% of the price. How people seriously expect these foundational model companies…

Did we ever get confirmation that GPT 4 was a fresh training run vs increasingly complex training on more tokens on the base GPT3 models?

Does anyone with a paid plan see anything different in the ChatGPT iOS app yet?

Mine just continues to show “GPT 4” as the model - it’s not clear if that’s now 4o or there is an app update coming…

Gone are the days of copy-pasting to/from ChatGPT all the time, now you just share your screen. That's a fantastic feature, in how much friction that removes. But what an absolute privacy nightmare. With ChatGPT having a very simple text+attachment in, text out interface, I felt absolutely in control of what I tell it. Now when it's grabbing my screen or a live camera feed, that will be gone. And I'll still use it, b…

> Now when it's grabbing my screen or a live camera feed, that will be gone. And I'll still use it, because it's just so damn convenient?

Presumably you'll have a way to draw a bounding box around what you want to show or limit to just a particular window the same way you can when doing a screen share w/ modern video conferencing?

The usual critics will quickly point out that LLMs like GPT-4o still have a lot of failure modes and suffer from issues that remain unresolved. They will point out that we're reaping diminishing returns from Transformers. They will question the absence of a "GPT-5" model. And so on -- blah, blah, blah, stochastic parrots, blah, blah, blah. Ignore the critics. Watch the demos. Play with it. This stuff feels magical .…

Imagine what an unfettered model would be like. 'Ex Machina' would no longer be a software-engineering problem, but just another exercise in mechanical and electrical engineering.

The future is indeed here... and it is, indeed, not equitably distributed.

I admit I drink the koolaid and love LLMs and their applications. But damn, the way it’s responds in the demo gave me goosebumps in a bad way. Like an uncanny valley instincts kicks in.

You're watching the species be reduced to an LLM.

The most impressive part is that the voice uses the right feelings and tonal language during the presentation. I'm not sure how much of that was that they had tested this over and over, but it is really hard to get that right so if they didn't fake it in some way I'd say that is revolutionary.

That was very impressive, but it doesn't surprise me much given how good the voice mode is in the ChatGPT iPhone app is already.

The new voice mode sounds better, but the current voice mode did also have inflection that made it feel much more natural than most computer voices I've heard before.
