GPT-4o (GPT-4 omni) is a multi-lingual, multi-modal generative pre-trained transformer designed by OpenAI. It was announced by OpenAI's CTO Mira Murati during a live-streamed demo on 13 May 2024 and released the same day.
GPT-4o is free for all users. Its API is twice as fast and half the price of its predecessor, GPT-4 Turbo.
Capabilities
GPT-4o achieves state-of-the-art results in voice, multilingual, and vision benchmarks, setting new records in audio speech recognition and translation. GPT-4o scores 88.7 on the Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) benchmark compared to 86.5 by GPT-4.
The model supports over 50 languages, covering over 97% of speakers. Mira Murati demonstrated the model's multilingual capability by speaking Italian to the model and having it translate between English and Italian during the live-streamed OpenAI demo event on 13 May 2024.
It is currently the leading model in the Large Model Systems Organization (LMSYS) Elo Arena Benchmarks by the University of California, Berkeley.
Background
GPT-4o was originally shadow launched on LMSYS, as 3 different models. These 3 models were called gpt2-chatbot, im-a-good-gpt2-chatbot and im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot. On 7 May 2024 Sam Altman revealed that OpenAI was responsible for these mysterious new models.
