GPT-4o: A New Era of Omni AI
OpenAI has launched a new flagship model of its underlying engine, called GPT-4o. This model brings GPT-4-level intelligence to everything, including free users. GPT-4o is set to roll out iteratively across the company’s developer and consumer-facing products over the next few weeks.
GPT-4o: An Omni Model
The “o” in GPT-4o stands for “omni,” referring to the model’s ability to handle text, speech, and video. It improves on GPT-4’s capabilities across multiple modalities and medi. GPT-4o reasons across voice, text, and vision.
Enhanced ChatGPT Experience
GPT-4o greatly improves the experience in OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot, ChatGPT. The platform has long offered a voice mode that transcribes the chatbot’s responses using a text-to-speech model, but GPT-4o supercharges this, allowing users to interact with ChatGPT more like an assistant.
Real-Time Responsiveness
GPT-4o delivers real-time responsiveness and can even pick up on nuances in a user’s voice. In response, it generates voices in a range of different emotive styles.
Vision Capabilities
GPT-4o also upgrades ChatGPT’s vision capabilities. Given a photo or a desktop screen, ChatGPT can now quickly answer related questions.
Future Developments
These features will evolve further in the future. For instance, the model could allow ChatGPT to watch a live sports game and explain the rules to you.

AI STOCKS
Top 3 AI Stocks to Consider in May 2024
1. Salesforce: A Steady Performer
Salesforce is enjoying improved margins and cash flows. The software provider has significantly improved its operating margins and free-cash-flow generation over the past couple of years1. Salesforce trades at a lofty but well-deserved forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 28. The company’s improving cash flow and margins justify this steep price tag.

UiPath is starting to flex its bottom-line muscle. UiPath specializes in robotic process automation (RPA), which involves software learning and performing repetitive computer tasks instead of humans. The financial benefits of RPA are obvious for corporations: Software bots don’t need breaks or benefits, and they are less prone to mistakes.
3. Super Micro Computer: A Volatile but Promising Pick
Super Micro Computer looks cheap but can be volatile. Despite its volatility, it’s a stock worth considering for its potential upside.
