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.

Somehow it also sounds almost like Dot Matrix from Spaceballs.

As far as I'm concerned this is the new best demo of all time. This is going to change the world in short order. I doubt they will be ready with enough GPUs for the demand the voice+vision mode is going to get, if it's really released to all free users. Now imagine this in a $16k humanoid robot, also announced this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzX1qOIO1bE The future is going to be wild.

The future is not going to be anymore wild than what you choose to do with the tech.

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?

It's a computer from the valley.

ChatGPT 4o reminds me of upgrading from a 300 baud modem to a 1200 baud modem, when modems used to cost a dollar a baud.

The ammount of "startups" creating wrappers around it and calling it a product is going to be a nightmare. But other than that, it's an amazing announcement and I look foward to using it!

You say that like that's not already happened. Every week there's a new flavor of "we're delighted to introduce [totally not a thin wrapper around GPT] for [vaguely useful thing]" posts on HN

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.

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…

My guess is they're banking on the free version being rate limited and people finding it so useful that they want to remove the limit. Like giving a new user a discount on heroin. At least that's the strategy that would make most sense to me.

I added gpt-4o support to my LLM CLI tool:

    pipx install llm
    llm keys set openai
    # Paste API key here
    llm -m 4o "Fascinate me"
Or if you already have LLM installed:

    llm install --upgrade llm
You can install an older version from Homebrew and then upgrade it like that too:

    brew install llm
    llm install --upgrade llm

In my experience so far, GPT-4o seems to sit somewhere between the capability of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. I'm working on an app that relies more on GPT-4's reasoning abilities than inference speed. For my use case, GPT-4o seems to do worse than GPT-4 Turbo on reasoning tasks. For me this seems like a step-up from GPT-3.5 but not from GPT-4 Turbo. At half the cost and significantly faster inference speed, I'm sure this is a…

I have never tried GPT-4 because I don't pay for it. I'm really looking forward to GPT-4o being released to free tier users.

Are these multimodals able to discern the input voice tone? Really curious if they're able to detect sarcasm or emotional content (or even something like mispronunciation?)
