About GPT-4o (05-13)
GPT-4o, or GPT-4 Omni, is OpenAI's premier multimodal AI model, introduced on May 13, 2024. It is designed to handle and generate content from various input types, including text, audio, and visual data, using a unified model, unlike its predecessors which required separate models for different modalities. This model is notable for its rapid response times averaging 320 milliseconds, which align with human conversational speed, along with being 50% more cost-effective than GPT-4 Turbo. Although it mirrors GPT-4 Turbo in standard benchmark performance, GPT-4o excels in multilingual, audio, and vision tasks.
