Tiktoken added support for GPT-4o: https://github.com/openai/tiktoken/commit/9d01e5670ff50eb74c... It has an increased vocab size of 200k.

Oh interesting, does that mean languages other than English won't be paying such a large penalty in terms of token lengths? With previous tokenizers there was a notable increase in the number of tokens needed to represent non-English sentences: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Jun/8/gpt-tokenizers/

Yep. Non-English text gets a much bigger cost drop and speedup compared to English. Has always been a bummer that GPT-4 is like 5x slower and more expensive in Japanese, etc.

There's a button on this page that says "try on ChatGPT ->" but that's still version 3.5 and if I upgraded seems to be version 4.

Is this new version not available to users yet?

With the news that Apple and OpenAI are closing / just closed a deal for iOS 18, it's easy to speculate we might be hearing about that exciting new model at WWDC...

Yes, i'm pretty sure this is the new Siri. Absolutely amazing, it's pretty much "here" from the movie.

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.

The chuckling made me uneasy for some reason lol. Calm down, you're not like us. Don't pretend!

Won't this make pretty much all of the work to make a website accessible go away, as it becomes cheap enough? Why struggle to build alt content for the impaired when it can be generated just in time as needed? And much the same for internationalization.

That’s just one part of the issue. The other part of the issue is accessibility bugs, you would have to get the model to learn to use a screen reader, and then change things as needed

I've been waiting to see someone drop a desktop app like they showcased. I wonder how long until it is normal to have an AI looking at your screen the entire time your machine is unlocked. Answering contextual questions and maybe even interjecting if it notices you made a mistake and moved on.

This will be great for employee surveillance, to monitor how much you are really working.

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.

Right to who? To me, the voice sounds like an over enthusiastic podcast interviewer. Whats wrong with wanting computers to sound like what people think computers should sound like?

> voice sounds like an over enthusiastic podcast interviewer

I believe it can be toned down using system prompts, which they'll expose in future iterations
