GPT-4o (released May 2024) can process and generate text, images, and audio

Summary

GPT-4o is a single model that can take in and produce speech, pictures, and written text, so one system handles a full conversation across multiple senses instead of needing separate tools for each. This sets the baseline for what downstream reasoning can assume about what the system can perceive and communicate.

Dependents

These beliefs depend on this one:

IN gpt4o-extends-modality-independence-to-audio — GPT-4o's tri-modal capability (text, image, and audio processing and generation) extends modality independence validation beyond vision-only (ViT processing image patches as tokens) and protein-only (AlphaFold) demonstrations into a third sensory domain, strengthening the evidence that transformer attention is genuinely modality-agnostic.
