    @OpenAI #GPT4o #Audio Extremely excited to share the results of what I've been working on for 2 years GPT models now natively understand audio: you can talk to the Transformer itself! The feeling is hard to describe so I can't wait for people to speak to it #HearTheAGI 🧵1/N

    Introducing GPT-4o, our new model which can reason across text, audio, and video in real time. It's extremely versatile, fun to play with, and is a step towards a much more natural form of human-computer interaction (and even human-computer-computer interaction):
