OpenAI has recently provided crucial information about its flagship model, ChatGPT, and confirmed that the company will not be introducing any advanced voice features by the end of this year. However, they did share some updates, giving us a glimpse of what to expect from their flagship model.

OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT-4o during the spring update, showcasing its impressive advanced voice capabilities. The company demonstrated several semantic capabilities of GPT-4o, including teaching the Portuguese language to users.

One of the most prominent features highlighted in the demo was GPT-4o's ability to act as a live translation device. It is likely to become an outstanding language teacher and a top-tier recent voice model.

In the demo video, a native English teacher is seen enhancing their language skills with Portuguese and Spanish speakers. ChatGPT-4o effectively teaches users step-by-step, interpreting terms and providing clear explanations.

Learn Languages with GPT-4o

ChatGPT-4o's speech-to-speech element sets it apart from its predecessors. Unlike previous versions, where users had to convert speech to text and vice versa, GPT-4o can listen, analyse your tone, and provide direct feedback based on what it hears, rather than evaluating a transcript.

This capability allows GPT-4o to properly listen to what you say, understand your tone, and offer immediate feedback, making it a powerful tool for language learning and communication.
