OpenAI Introduces GPT-4o Mini

OpenAI has announced the launch of its new AI model, GPT-4o mini, aimed at broadening the use of its popular chatbot. The company described the new release as the most capable and cost-efficient small model available today, with future plans to incorporate image, video, and audio capabilities.

This mini AI model is derived from GPT-4o, OpenAI's fastest and most powerful model, which was introduced in May during a livestreamed event featuring the company's executives. The "o" in GPT-4o stands for omni, signifying its enhanced audio, video, and text capabilities, and its ability to support 50 different languages with improved speed and quality.

The announcement of the GPT-4o mini is part of OpenAI's initiative to lead in multimodality, which refers to the capability of generating various types of media, such as text, images, audio, and video, within a single tool: ChatGPT.

According to the company's press release, GPT-4o mini will be accessible to free ChatGPT users, as well as ChatGPT Plus and Team subscribers, and will be available to ChatGPT Enterprise users this week.
