OpenAI announced a desktop version of its conversation bot ChatGPT on Monday as well as the latest iteration of the AI language model that fuels the chatbot.
The fresh model offers improved speed and interactive capability when compared with the company’s previous model GPT-4, OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati said at an event livestreamed by the company.
Known as GPT-4o, the latest version eliminates lag time in the response from ChatGPT and allows users to interrupt the conversation bot with a new query that in turn elicits a modified response, Murati said. The improved capacity, Murati added, functions in response to text, audio and visual prompts.
“We’re looking at the future of our interaction between ourselves and the machines, and we think that GPT-4o is really shifting that paradigm,” Murati said. “This is the first time we’re making a huge step forward when it comes to the ease of use.”
