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…

Now a bit of Shameless plug, but of you need an AI to take over your emails then my https://getgabrielai.com should cover most use cases.

Very much in beta, and summarisation is still behind feature flag, but feel free to give it a try.

For summarisation here I mean to get one email with all your unread emails summarised.

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 .…

> It makes the movie "Her" look like it's no longer in the realm of science fiction but in the realm of incremental product development.

The last part of the movie "Her" is still in the realm of science fiction, if not outright fantasy. Reminds me of the later seasons of SG1 with all the talk of ascension and Ancients. Or Clarke's 3001 book intro, where the monolith creators figured out how to encode themselves into spacetime. There's nothing incremental about that.

I don't see any details on how API access to these features will work. This is the first true multimodal network from OpenAI, where you can send an image in and retain the visual properties of the image in the output from the network (previously the input image would be turned into text by the model, and sent to the Dall-E 3 model which would provide a URL). Will we get API updates to be able to do this? Also, will w…

API is up but only text, image in, text out works. I don't know if this is temporary. I really hope so.

I don't get it...I just switched to the new model on my iPhone app and it still takes several seconds to respond with pretty bland inflection. Is there some setting I'm missing?

Ohhhhhhhh, boy... Listening to all that emotional vocal inflection and feedback... There are going to be at least 10 million lonely guys with new AI girlfriends. "She's not real. But, she interested in everything I say and excited about everything I care about" is enough of a sales pitch for a lot of people.

Hear me out: what if we don't want real?

With the speed the seemingly exponential developments of this field i wouldn't be surprised if suddenly the entire world tilted and a pair of googles fell from my face. But a dream.

Very, very impressive for a "minor" release demo. The capabilities here would look shockingly advanced just 5 years ago. Universal translator, pair programmer, completely human sounding voice assistant and all in real time. Scifi tropes made real. But: Interesting next to see how it actually performs IRL latency and without cherry-picking. No snark, it was great but need to see real world power. Also what the benefit…

The capabilities here look shocking advanced yesterday.

Impressed by the model so far. As far as independent testing goes, it is topping our leaderboard for chess puzzle solving by a wide margin now: https://github.com/kagisearch/llm-chess-puzzles?tab=readme-o...

Is the test set public?

Yes, in the repo.

Wondering the same. Can’t seem to find the way to interact with this in the same way as the video demo.
