Long ago, letters were tied to birds’ feet, and birds were used as messengers. As times changed, messages could be sent with a click or a swipe. In our grandparents’ era, there was often just one telephone for an entire village, but now, every household has at least four smartphones. Technology is evolving rapidly, and in the past 2–3 years, advancements, particularly with ChatGPT, have accelerated this evolution. From Google to ChatGPT, the tech landscape is booming. The progression from textual ChatGPT to innovations like Sora and Devine is astounding. The latest update, GPT-4O, has made a significant impact. It has the potential to replace tutors and gym trainers. Read the article to learn more.

A significant event was organized by OpenAI in which they introduced a new version called GPT-4O, where the “O” stands for Omni. GPT-4O is incredibly fast, enabling real-time conversations with almost no delay. This means you can talk to AI bots as if they were real people.

With older versions like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, the process was slower because your voice had to be converted to text, processed, and then converted back to audio. This took 2 to 6 seconds. But GPT-4O works differently. It can take voice, text, and even images directly, understanding the context and tone of what you say right away.

And the best part? GPT-4O is free for everyone. You no longer need to pay $20 per month for advanced features. You get custom GPTs, advanced data analytics, browsing, and memory options all for free.

Here are some of the cool things GPT-4O can do:

  1. Real-Time Conversations: GPT-4O can talk to you almost instantly, understanding not just your words but the tone and context. So, if you take an example of GPT 3.5 and GPT4, if you click on voice input the way it works is that you speak something that voice and audio is converted into text and then the text is fed into GP 3.5 or4 and then you get an answer from these models and then it is converted into audio and then you get to hear it. Now this involves three major processes and that is why it takes time anywhere from 2 to 6 seconds. You would have to wait to get the response which makes it feel unreal and does not allow for real-time communication and that is what the GPT 4O model fixes.
  2. Language Translation: It can translate languages in real-time, which is great for travelers. Just show it an object with your camera, and it will tell you what it’s called in different languages. You can ask it what you call this in French, or what you call this in Mandarin. It would give you the word and then you can speak that word to the other person if you’re in a new country.
  3. Screen Sharing Help: You can share your screen on the desktop app and ask GPT-4O for help with anything, from understanding a piece of code to getting feedback on your work. GPT4O is working as a live AI companion so you can share your screen on the desktop app and you can ask it for anything that you want. For example, this is what I’m having a look at, give me feedback on this or teach me about this, or observe this code base and tell me what it is actually doing.

4. Personal Tutor: GPT-4O can be your tutor, I think this is going to disrupt the education system forever. Finally today you could have an AI teacher who is going to take you step by step to help you solve a coding problem, help you solve a math problem, help you explain Concepts which are complicated in science and in social studies.

5. Fitness Coach: It can guide you through your workouts, correcting your posture and form in real time to prevent injuries. It can look at what exercise you’re doing, it can evaluate where you want to reach in your fitness journey and give you a step-by-step plan that can help you get there.

6. Shopping Assistant: Onto GPT 4O you can tell it what type of clothes you normally wear and what is the event or the occasion for which you shopping. Just enable the video and show it around every single outfit, it will be able to pick the right outfit for you.

7. Financial Adviser: Show it live stock market charts, and it can give you investment advice and help you make better trading decisions. The point is it can help you evaluate and get things done faster and act as a companion for you to invest better to trade better to trade wisely so that is what this update is all about.

GPT-4O is set to be faster, cheaper, and more efficient, making it easier for everyone to benefit from advanced AI. What do you think of these changes? Let me know in the comments!
