[@jay_sensz]

That's what stood out to me the most, too. It's easy enough to treat the ChatGPT text interface like a sophisticated yet lifeless machine. But when you can interact with it over voice like this and it picks up on social cues, displays emotion, etc, it gets pretty hard not to anthropomorphize it.

[@WoolyCow]

i would use the word 'worrying'...like the tech is amazing and the way it can incorporate pause fillers like 'umm', laughter and other phatic pleasantries is a testament to the data their using and fine tuning...but holy moly is this gonna cause soooo many parasocial relationships we thought character ai was bad, now that with emotion is gonna royal screw up some people

When she says "Sorry guys, I got carried away there and started talking in French." at 8:25. Just... just listen to how personable she sounds. GPT 4o is really something else. It's not just the clear voice. It's the laugh-talking. It's the breath. It's the accent that kind of slips out in "away there", and the choice to use more casual and conversational language like saying "talking in French", instead of "speaking French". The embarrassed tone. And then the attempt afterwards to drum up excitement to try again. It's so personable. I think that's the right word. It feels human, which is great, and terrifying all the same.

Actually that french line was so natural, felt like a real person talking. I mean it was not talking like if it was just reading something, but really how a native would talk in a casual conversation, that's crazy. As an exemple, you would write "je ne sais pas" but a native would say "j'sais pas" or "ché pas".

I'm a retired software engineer, when you get older, phones are awful do to size/old eyesight. Plus, do young people actually use phones for productivity?

[@K9Megahertz]

Not impressed because it for the most part just regurgitates things that it learned from humans. If it could come up with stuff on its own, that would be impressive, but that's just a limitation of how LLM's work. Don't get me wrong, it's neat stuff and has it's uses, but I don't think it really rises to the level of hype that it gets. As far as programming goes, it still can't come up with correct and working solutions to some of my test questions. Why? because it probably was never trained on the code that would have had to be written for it to be able to regurgitate it. That code and the working solution, while not complex or complicated by any means (at least for a 3d graphics programmer) is just very scarce in terms of documentation. Something I and and a few other programmers worked on in the early days of 3D engines back when BSP type engines like Quake were mainstream. I think ID Software's implementation was a bit different than the approach we used so it wouldn't have been in the quake source that was released. For simple programs like hey sort a list of temperatures and print out the top 12 results and programs of the like, yeah, it can handle stuff like that. It's seen umpteen million different versions of the code probably in it's training set.

The audio cutting in and out during the demo was most likely a feature where you can interrupt the AI in the middle of its speech. So while it is talking and it hears you speak it immediately stops talking, which is what we saw during the demo. Just a guess.

[@ukaszgandecki9106]

Well, duh! The problem isn't just that it cuts in and out. It's how sudden, unnatural (non-human-like), and poorly timed these interruptions are. Issues like these keep you on your toes-instead of conversing as freely as you would with a person, you find yourself constantly adjusting your speech. For instance, you try to avoid lengthy pauses. I'm eager to test it soon, but I'm really hoping for further improvements.

Two really impressing things about the transcriptions: (1) the audio with four speakers had multiple thick Dutch accents and it nailed it! (2) the video presentation was 45 minutes and the summary was really good! How did they do that without hitting context window limits?

[@41-Haiku]

Context windows aren't really a thing anymore. Multiple techniques exist now for effectively infinite context.

[@blixt_]

​@@41-Haiku There is no effectively infinite context solution in the best performing LLMs so far. The infinite context window solutions that rely on recurrence are much more computationally expensive, and the solutions that rely on extending the context window (e.g. with RoPE) come with large memory and accuracy costs. The context window of the API version of GPT-4o has a 128K limit, so the question comes down to whether they have a private 1M context window version (like Gemini which could ingest 45 minutes of video at that size), or if they used a chunking strategy (which hopefully they would share publicly).

[@noone-ld7pt]

The latency combined with the emotional understanding are for me the game-changers here. I've been using GPT voice mode for a while for language practice and the delay has just never felt even close to a natural conversation, but this looks to possibly completely eliminate that issue in a single leap. I honestly didn't think we would have natural conversational capabilities until we could run very good models locally on device for the essentially zero latency I thought was needed. But if this demo can be replicated anywhere with decent service then it'll be extremely interesting to see if it manages to completely leap across the uncanny valley or if this is gonna feel very eerie and dystopian. The laughing, stuttering and excitement just sounded so damn good in the demo. We might be getting damn close to HER territory, and I think anthropomorphizing is gonna go of the charts with this. I mean one on the top comments on one of the demo videos was already along the lines of : "There is NO way this thing is not sentient!" Next few months are gonna be so damn interesting!

Your videos are always so consistently good, I'm amazed every time !

[@HAL9000.]

I feel like some of the latency was reduced with fluff. It responded with things like, “sure, I can do that for you…” and “Great question. I’d be happy to help” etc which gave it some thinking time.

[@Lvxurie]

just like real life? ever worked in customer service?

[@somdudewillson]

So, the same kind of trick that humans use.

[@ShawnFumo]

Honestly, I don't think it really works that way in terms the of latency itself. In these kinds of models, they are going token by token, so the first sounds of the audio is like the first words appearing in text chat. And it is all going through the same model, so it isn't like it can generate the first sentence with a faster model and send that to external TTS, since it'd lose all the expressiveness of the voice. Plus look at the demos where multiple models are talking to each other, or the live translation, etc. They'd have to have those filler words on every single sentence back and forth, which they don't. It is definitely a thing that having a model respond using more tokens like in "think step by step" gives it more "time to think", but that is more about the quality of the response than the latency. I bet if you ask it to be super curt and drop the formalities, it'd have the same latency before speaking.

[@MercurialAscent]

Just like what humans do

[@BenoHourglass]

@@ShawnFumo Depends if the 'fluff' is generated with the tokens or if they're their own thing.

Making an AI that you can share screen with and talk to as if a zoom call would increase my work production like 5x

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

Imagine if it pays attention to repetitive things in your workflow that can be streamlined or just let you know about a shortcut you should be using

[@ShawnFumo]

@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 This is a non-AI aside but if you use JetBrains tools, you can get the Key Promoter X plugin which notices if you did things manually that you could have used a shortcut for and flashes up a notification about it.

I watched the announcement yesterday and started off impressed. The more I see, the more impressed I am!

Woah! Saw this live, went to bed, woke up and we have an AI Explained video on it already. Huge news!

[@robkline6809]

It seems the pricing model is indicative of how soon the next, more compelling version will be. They grow their market with free - and raise the stakes for competitors - with improved baseline performance, but lock in paid users with an even more capable model - and soon. This cycle might become the new normal for their releases. (And as usual, thank you Philip for your clear, concise, current, and hype-free analysis!)

[@user-fr2jc8xb9g]

yeah wonder how capable would gpt-5 be...

[@lexer_]

Every time I see one of these super fast news coverage videos I expect stupid hype but I am always positively surprised about how sober the reporting is for the most part. Almost all other rapid news coverage anywhere is chasing a sensational tone constantly.

The fact that they're all somewhat in competition is only accellerating the eventual leap to AGI. Scary stuff.

Thank you for this video. The way the AI speaks solidifies to me that in the future we will seriously have people that will have relationships / a ton of social interactions with AI

[@shawnvandever3917]

This is a big deal that cannot be stressed enough, it is building the foundation for far smarter models. This model sets the tone going forward.

[@zyzhang1130]

Yo was waiting for ur review very much appreciated!!

[@urokoz1]

To your last point, while I don't think GPT4o is a big leap towards AGI, I do think it's a massive leap forward in the way we interact with AI, which is both exciting and scary. The model itself seems to just be a well tuned GPT4, but I'm very curious to see how this tech will grow with a better model backing it like GPT5/6, along with better integration into existing computers and phones. In 1-2 generations we might actually be at a Her level.

[@user-fr2jc8xb9g]

Yeah , the context window+voice+multi modality all for free is definitly a big improvement , now just upgrading the modal will make a huge difference in what we can do with ai...

[@Words-.]

That is the best part with all of this, is that this is the baseline for model interactions. We don't have to go back to text interaction, Gpt 5 will be multimodal like this and more intelligent(hopefully)

[@MrSchweppes]

At this rate, we need a public discussion about UBI in every single country! I wanted to know from native Spanish speakers, how good is the accent of GPT-4o? Thanks, as always, for the quick and quality video analysis! I've been waiting for it! 👍

[@Bmoby1]

Spanish is my first language , and I thought it was pretty good. I can't wait to try it

[@marcosfraguela]

At 16:16 it didn't sound very natural. Its a very short clip though

[@krause79]

Doesn't sound nearly as natural and polished as the English accent.

[@NicolasUnger]

It's basically the same as the current Spanish accent when you use the "read aloud" feature in chatgpt. It has this neutral/"American" accent when speaking Spanish. It would be amazing if you can prompt it to talk in any accent you want. Especially with Spanish that has so many different ways of speaking it from country to country. I'm from Argentina and we speak Spanish very differently so it would be very off-putting for students if you use this in a classroom for example

At least now we can refer to it as "4o" instead of having to saying ChatGPT4 every time. I guess we could have already say 4Turbo but I never heard anyone say that.

OpenAI said it should be available in a few weeks for free users.

[@looloo06]

@@maxchannel6291 I think the apps are not yet available, maybe next Monday. At least for me (paid user), they are not available (I can't have live discussion as in the demos, nor live video analysis).

I honestly didn’t expect an Omnimodel until GPT-5, so this was a pleasant surprise. I can feel the AGI

[@chrisanderson7820]

An interesting element to all these AI developments is the volatility in the 3rd party space. It is going to be SOOOO incredibly hard to be an AI dev or startup because the foundation on which you are building is changing so rapidly. Imagine being in a company like say, ElevenLabs or Pika et al when you build some cool stuff but then have to sit there every night sweating bullets that the next model release won't supersede your entire business. I'm expecting regular bloodbaths in the venture capital space (and also lots of context-less idiots talking about AI companies going bust), might make it hard to generate funding, who knows.

[@marczas]

i watched again "Her" week ago and I didn't think it could happen so soon, wow

[@klarasepkine]

Watch Terminator and Matrix too, because Skynet already working through Starlink, the machine language "matrix" Internet we are going to soon, if there will be no humans soon here (just the swarms of Al agents to summary and retell) no need in visuals too, it only uses the valuable storage space. Ai vision needed only in robots, not Internet.

[@garethbunce294]

Man been waiting for your insights

[@wadep]

Fantastic comprehensive review!

[@Pianoblook]

Glad you directly commented on the issue of designing towards "maximizing engagement". I'm quite concerned about them leaning into this sort of friendly tone - and I'd agree with "flirty" - moving forward. The last decade of social media has already proven just how much of a dramatic impact it can have to flood our squishy, social brains with algorithmically optimized, 'engaging' content - and I see this sort of move as exactly more of the same sort of profit seeking with complete disregard for public health impacts.

[@dishcleaner2]

this is horrifying... we've officially reached Her

[@theterminaldave]

Almost. She's still fairly shallow, but once the model gets to build on its own personality and remembers every conversation its had with you, then I'd say we've reached "her"; but we seem very close now, i bet within a year.

[@klarasepkine]

Can we reach same job like movie to afford 100 squares in Hong Kong skyscraper? (HK is the most expensive to live even than USA)

[@krishanSharma.69.69f]

It's better that "Her" movie. Because her movie ending was bad. Like she was cheating him, she was controlled by a company. But I think this app will work locally very soon and that's better for personalized ones.

[@YeeLeeHaw]

Not even close. This whole presentation was disappointing with clunky and stale dialog from the A.I. that only a stale and censorious company can achieve. If GPT-5 isn't miles better, AGI is not even on the map.

[@etfacetimehome]

appreciate the high quality videos!

[@aiexplained-official]

Thank you facetime!

[@nPr26_50]

As far as I am concerned AGI has been achieved. The integration of video and sound makes it an intelligence equal in potential to human beings. It may not be able to solve the Riemann Hypothesis but so can't the vast majority of people, nonetheless it can do all intellectual tasks at least at an intermediate level. And I say this as someone that has been skeptical and thought AGI was long way off. Watching the video on OpenAI's channel where the AI was helping with a math problem convinced me.

[@aiexplained-official]

It does get a load of Math questions weong still, and ask it 'A man and a goat are on one side of a river. They have a boat. How do they get across?'

[@user-fr2jc8xb9g]

Bro.. Already a video!? Man your work is very much appreciated!

[@sandman.38]

The video input to text/audio output latency and response time is what really intrigues me. I think the model might be instructed to add filler dialogue until the rolling transcribed context is updated enough to give a detailed description of what's going on in order to mask whatever latency is present. I'd love to see the model's multimodal performance in realistic scenarios, especially high quality video streaming in settings with low quality internet speeds.

[@WorldEverett]

This is awesome and wild. Love how expressive it is.
