Hello, my wonderful followers! Today, I have some exciting news to share with you all. OpenAI is on the brink of debuting a new multimodal AI digital assistant that has the ability to both converse with you and recognize objects. According to a recent report from The Information, some lucky individuals have already had the opportunity to witness this groundbreaking model in action.

The new AI model is said to offer a quicker and more accurate interpretation of images and audio compared to OpenAI’s current transcription and text-to-speech models. It has the potential to assist customer service agents in better understanding callers’ tones and expressions, as well as aid students in subjects like math or real-world translations. The possibilities seem endless!

While this new model may outperform GPT-4 Turbo in certain areas, it still has its flaws and limitations. There are hints that OpenAI may also be working on integrating a ChatGPT feature that allows for making phone calls, as hinted by Developer Ananay Arora’s findings of call-related code.

Despite the exciting developments, CEO Sam Altman has clarified that this upcoming announcement is not about GPT-5, which is rumored to be in the works for a later release. The company is not planning to unveil a new AI-powered search engine either. However, the potential capabilities of this new AI model could pose some competition for Google’s rumored multimodal Assistant replacement project.

Regardless of what OpenAI has in store, we can all tune in to their livestream on Monday at 10AM PT / 1PM ET to witness the unveiling of this innovative technology firsthand. Stay tuned for more updates!
