OpenAI presents new AI language model GPT4o

The ChatGPT developer OpenAI has presented the latest version of its artificial intelligence (AI). However, the company refrained from presenting an AI-supported internet search engine, which had been the subject of speculation in recent days.

OpenAI Head of Technology Mira Murati focused on "GPT-4o" during her presentation on Monday. This improved so-called language model, the basis for the chatbot ChatGPT, works twice as fast as GPT-4. At the same time, the cost of calculating an answer is half as much. The updated technology will therefore be made available to all users in future. However, paying customers will be able to process larger volumes of data with the AI.

GPT-4o can answer not only written but also spoken questions and analyze images. In a demonstration, the AI helped to solve an equation written down on paper.

No AI search for the time being at least
Last week, insiders reported that OpenAI was planning to present a new AI search engine the day before the Google developer conference. This would allow the ChatGPT maker to steal billions in online advertising revenue from the Alphabet subsidiary. However, the head of OpenAI denied this in a post on the short message service X on Friday. Google is expected to present new AI functions at its developer conference.
