While text and image input features have already begun rolling out on Monday in API and Chat GPT, OpenAI plans to release voice and video features in the coming weeks.
This announcement coincides with the day before the Google I/O developer conference, where Google, a prominent player in the artificial intelligence (AI) field, is expected to unveil further AI updates as it strives to keep up with Open AI, supported by Microsoft Corp.
In a blog post, OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, emphasized the company’s mission to provide AI tools to everyone for free or at an affordable price. With Chat GPT-4o, Altman stated that they are now offering “the best model in the world available for free in Chat GPT, without ads or anything like that.”
Altman expressed excitement about the capabilities of the new voice (and video) mode, describing it as the best compute interface he has ever used.
He envisions a future where computers can do much more than ever before, including personalization, accessing information, and taking actions on behalf of users.
Open AI’s decision to offer its latest model for free may suggest a shift away from prioritizing profit, although there is still a paid version of Chat GPT.
In March, billionaire Elon Musk filed a lawsuit against Open AI and its co-founders, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman, alleging that the company had strayed from its original mission as a non-profit focused on developing AI for the benefit of humanity.
Musk claimed that the founding agreement required OpenAI to make its technology freely available to the public.
