OpenAI yesterday unveiled a new flagship AI model with more powerful capabilities — including smarter, faster real-time voice interactions.
Why it matters: OpenAI, whose ChatGPT kicked off the generative AI race, is now trying to hold its lead with rivals like Google in hot pursuit.
The big picture: OpenAI CTO Mira Murati said the new GPT-4o — that's a letter "o" for "Omni" — is a "huge step forward" for ease of use and speed.
Zoom in: In one demo, OpenAI showed one of its workers getting a real-time deep breathing tutorial.
OpenAI also showed the new chatbot working simultaneously across languages — helping translate between English and Italian, for instance.
What's next: A bigger update to the underlying model is due to be unveiled later this year, Murati tells Axios.
