It outperforms existing models in vision and audio comprehension, all while being twice as fast, 50% more cost-effective, and supporting five times higher rate limits.

Limitations and Challenges

Despite these advancements, GPT-4o still has some limitations and challenges, including:

• Social biases and hallucinations: GPT-4o can still exhibit social biases and sometimes generate false or nonsensical information. These limitations and challenges require continued research and refinement to ensure the accuracy, fairness, and reliability of AI-generated content.
• Vulnerability to adversarial prompts: GPT-4o can be tricked into producing harmful or undesirable outputs by carefully crafted prompts.
• Lack of fully integrated video capabilities: While GPT-4o has an integrated Voice Mode, the initial rollout does not include full real-time video capabilities.
• Restricted access for free users: Free-tier ChatGPT users have limited access to GPT-4o, with a cap on the number of messages they can send.

But hey, OpenAI is actively working to address these limitations and further enhance GPT-4o’s capabilities. Planned features include integrating real-time video capabilities and an advanced voice mode to enable more natural, context-aware voice interactions. So we’re expecting bigger things than just voice integration.

Is it Free?

OpenAI typically provides both unpaid and paid options for their models. The unpaid version comes with usage restrictions, such as a set limit on daily prompts and interactions and potential limitations on available features.

For ChatGPT-4o, very much like the previous versions 3.5 and 4, OpenAI offers various pricing levels that generally consist of a basic free option and premium tiers, offering increased interactions and advanced capabilities. Please refer to the latest price plans below to find the most up-to-date pricing options suitable for your requirements.

The Voice Mode

This is the most mind-blowing feature of the latest release. It works by using text-to-speech technology and AI voices such as those from Resemble.AI, which involves separate models for transcribing audio to text, generating text output, and converting text back to audio.

But what makes GPT-4o so special? It can pick up on emotions in a user’s voice and respond accordingly, making the interaction feel more natural and human-like. The AI can also express emotion through its own voice, such as sarcasm, bubbly tones, or singing.

While GPT-4o can generate its own voice outputs, the initial rollout will feature a selection of preset voices to adhere to existing safety policies and ensure responsible use of the technology.
