This study introduces GPT-4o, an advanced language model designed to process and generate text, audio, and image outputs. The research question centers around the effectiveness of GPT-4o in interpreting multimodal inputs and generating appropriate outputs compared to previous models. The hypothesis is that GPT-4o significantly improves upon prior models in speed, cost, and multimodal comprehension. Researchers implemented an end-to-end training approach, utilizing diverse datasets including web pages, code, multimodal data, and proprietary sources. Key methods involved external red teaming and preparedness evaluations to assess safety and performance. The study found significant improvement in response time, cost efficiency, and non-English language handling, alongside enhanced vision and audio understanding capabilities. The results underscore GPT-4o's ongoing development towards faster and cheaper AI solutions, with implications for better integration of AI in multimodal and multilingual applications.
