OpenAI has unveiled GPT-4o, a significant update to its AI language model, enhancing ChatGPT’s functionality and user experience. This new model, available to both paid and unpaid users, transforms ChatGPT into a versatile digital personal assistant capable of real-time, spoken conversations, text interactions, and “vision” tasks, allowing it to analyze screenshots, photos, documents, and charts.
During a demonstration, OpenAI's CTO Mira Murati highlighted GPT-4o's memory capabilities, enabling it to learn from previous interactions and perform real-time translations. “This is a major leap in ease of use,” Murati said, emphasizing the natural and intuitive interaction with the AI.
This update is part of OpenAI's strategy to maintain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving AI landscape, with rivals like Google and Meta also advancing their AI models. Google is expected to announce updates to its Gemini AI model, which, like GPT-4o, is multimodal and can handle text, images, and audio. Apple is also anticipated to reveal AI integrations in its upcoming iPhone and iOS updates.
OpenAI’s enhancements benefit Microsoft, a major investor in the company, by embedding AI technology into its products. The demonstration showcased ChatGPT engaging in a variety of tasks, such as solving math problems, narrating bedtime stories, providing coding advice, and even recognizing and responding to user emotions.
The model's ability to conduct conversations in over 50 languages, along with the introduction of a ChatGPT desktop app, expands its accessibility and utility. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman praised the new voice and video modes as revolutionary, comparing the experience to AI from movies.
The rollout of GPT-4o's features will occur in the coming months. Free users will have a limited number of interactions with GPT-4o before reverting to GPT-3.5, while paid users will enjoy extended access. OpenAI’s announcement aims to bolster the already substantial user base of over 100 million, potentially attracting even more users through enhanced capabilities and new platforms for interaction.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charitable org has hit a snag -- being declared delinquent by the state of California, but there's a perfectly good explanation ... snail mail.
Here's the deal ... the Archewell Foundation was found to be "delinquent" this week on paying its renewal fees -- and it's technically barred from fundraising until that gets fixed. On its face, it sounded like the charity wasn't taking care of business ... but that's not quite the case.
We're told the reason Archewell was able to hit this not-so-great status is because a check to pay for these registration fees was simply never received, although we hear it was sent.
In other words ... the money to re-up its certification as a nonprofit just got lost in the mail -- and now, we're told another check is being cut ... and this one should cover the fees owed.
We're sure there'll be additional correspondence sent over to CA officials -- as the AG's original letter to them made it pretty clear that they ran the risk of being in bad standing if they didn't get it together ... that, or be booted from the Registry in one fell swoop.
The letter from the AG notifying Archewell of its delinquent status also made clear that if there was a delay in getting the fees paid, there better be a good explanation to make up for it.
Of course, Harry and Meghan are very much still involved in charity and philanthropy work -- as we just saw them in Nigeria for an unofficial visit ... where they made the rounds, attended events and chatted with the locals.
Seems like this one just slipped through the cracks ... time to get the house in order.
