They did release GPT-4o (making a whole event out of it) and mini recently so not sure why you think that.

Seems like they don't have anything up their sleeve.

Given how OpenAI has functioned in the last year or so not sure how one can think they have some secret model waiting to be unleashed.

The main feature and the main novelty of 4o is native voice integration - was announced 3 months ago and is still not available.

The impressive thing about GPT 4o is how well it performs at most metrics. GPT 3.5 was already very impressive - most other companies are just catching up now. GPT 4o is a huge step above.

GPT-4o replaced GPT-4, not 3.5, so it’s not “a huge step above” it, at least not subjectively. It is much faster though, so at least it’s got that going.

The voice thing is a potential killer feature though, I can’t wait to try it, and to have my kids use it.

I would argue that the biggest novelty is being able to share your screen or camera feed with the live voice - and there's no announced timeline on that yet at all.

To me the voice thing was marketing hype, the utility is being multi-modal. It's a great office/creative/tech assistant.

Yeah, but then Claude 3.5 Sonnet came out, so they took the lead.

Tangentially speaking, having no skin in this game, it's extremely fun to watch the model-wars. I kinda wish I started dabbling in that area, rather than being mostly an infrastructure/backend fella. Feels like I would be already way behind though.
