OpenAI has quietly released an upgrade to GPT-4o, the underlying model powering ChatGPT, promising improvements across the board. CEO Sam Altman even touted it as the 'best search product on the web', sparking debate in the AI community. While the update's actual impact remains to be seen, early user reports suggest significant advancements in writing quality and human-likeness.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently addressed the future of ChatGPT, confirming that a GPT-5 upgrade is coming later this year. Before that, we'll get GPT-4.5, an upgraded model expected to arrive in the coming weeks. Before any of those big upgrades arrive, OpenAI gave GPT-4o an unexpected upgrade that should improve the entire ChatGPT experience.
In this back and forth on X, Altman made the ChatGPT Search claim above that the GPT-4o update makes ChatGPT 'the best search product on the web' in response to a question from Srinivas. The Perplexity exec asked what the ChatGPT GPT-4o update was all about. Interstingly, Perplexity launched its own Deep Research AI agent tool for Perplexity AI just as Sam Altman teased the GPT-4o improvements.
