Does anyone know how they're doing the audio part where Mark breaths too hard? Does his breathing get turned into all-caps text (AA EE OO) and that GPT4-o interprets that as him breathing too hard, or is there something more going on?

It can natively interpret voice now.

jeez, that model really speaks a lot! I hope there's a way to make it more straight to the point rather than radio-like.

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.

Really? If this was Apple it might make sense, for OpenAI it feels like a demo that's not particularly aligned with their core competency (a least by reputation) of building the most performant AI models. Or put another way, it says to me they're done building models and are now wading into territory where there are strong incumbents.

All the recent OpenAI talk had me concerned that the tech has peaked for now and that expectations are going to be reset.

Clicking the "Try it on ChatGPT" link just takes me to GPT-4 chat window. Tried again in an incognito tab (supposing my account is the issue) and it just takes me to 3.5 chat. Anyone able to use it?

They are admitting[1] that the new model is the gpt2-chatbot that we have seen before[2]. As many highlighted there, the model is not an improvement like GPT3->GPT4. I tested a bunch of programming stuff and it was not that much better.

It's interesting that OpenAI is highlighting the Elo score instead of showing results for many many benchmarks that all models are stuck at 50-70% success.

Big questions are (1) when is this going to be rolled out to paid users? (2) what is the remaining benefit of being a paid user if this is rolled out to free users? (3) Biggest concern is will this degrade the paid experience since GPT-4 interactions are already rate limited. Does OpenAI have the hardware to handle this?

Edit: according to @gdb this is coming in "weeks"

That's how it used to do it, but my understanding is that this new model processes audio directly. If it were a music generator, the original would have generated sheet music to send to a synthesizer (text to speech), while now it can create the raw waveform from scratch.
