GPT 4o

Context: Open AI launched the new flagship AI model GPT-4o.

About GPT-4o

• It is capable of accepting audio and visual inputs and generating outputs almost flawlessly.
• The ‘o’ in GPT-4o stands for “omni,” indicating its ability to handle multimodal inputs through text, audio, and images, unlike earlier versions which only handled text inputs.
• Performance and Features
  • Response Time:
    • Audio input response time: 232 milliseconds.
    • Average response time: 320 milliseconds.
    • Uses fillers or repeats part of the question to manage latency.
  • Integrated Neural Network: Unlike previous models that used separate processes for voice-to-text conversion and operations, GPT-4o uses the same neural network for these tasks, enabling faster responses and deeper insights.
• Technology Behind GPT-4o:
  • Large Language Models (LLMs):
    • LLMs are the core technology of AI chatbots like GPT-4o.
    • They involve feeding vast amounts of data into models to enable them to learn and understand patterns in language and information.
• Applications:
  • Caricature creation from a photo.
  • 3D logo creation and manipulation.
  • Generating meeting notes from audio recordings.
  • Designing cartoon characters and stylized movie posters.
  • Assessing interview readiness and making jokes based on visual cues.
  • Setting up games, assisting with maths problems, recognizing objects in Spanish, and expressing sarcasm.
• Limitations:
  • No Video Generation: Despite its visual understanding capabilities, GPT-4o cannot generate videos, such as movie trailers.
  • Initial Errors: Demonstrations included some errors, such as producing gibberish text in a crime movie-style poster, later refined but still somewhat raw.

Examples, Case Studies and Data

• Disaster Management (GS- 2): In 2023, India experienced over 528,000 internal displacements due to floods, storms, earthquakes, and other disasters, a significant decrease from approximately 2.5 million displacements in 2022.
