GPT-4o

by OpenAI· Released May 2024· Cutoff October 2023

GPT-4o ('omni') is OpenAI's flagship multimodal model that accepts text, image, and audio inputs and produces text, image, and audio outputs. It matches GPT-4 Turbo performance on English text and code while being significantly faster and 50% cheaper in API pricing. GPT-4o achieves state-of-the-art results on vision and multilingual benchmarks, and offers improved reasoning over non-English languages.
