“HER” - GPT-4o “Omni” OpenAI’s Voice Assistant Upgrade

OpenAI has introduced a new voice assistant feature inspired by the movie Her. This feature can read facial expressions and translate spoken language in real-time, aiming to provide a more responsive AI assistant experience.
During a livestream, OpenAI engineers showcased the assistant’s ability to be more expressive, switch between different voice tones, and respond to visual cues from the phone’s camera.
The advanced voice mode will initially be available in an “alpha” release to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, with plans for a wider rollout. There are also reports of a potential deal with Apple to integrate ChatGPT into the iPhone, potentially enhancing or replacing Siri.
Ilya Leaving OpenAI

OpenAI’s chief scientist, Ilya Sutskever, announced his departure from the company to pursue a “personally meaningful” project.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman praised Sutskever for his contributions. Jakub Pachocki, OpenAI’s director of research, is set to become the new chief scientist.
The internet has been rife with speculations and memes about Sutskever’s departure, particularly concerning his initial support for Altman’s ousting and subsequent regret.
Despite the internal turmoil, OpenAI continues to advance, having launched its most powerful AI model, GPT-4o.
Google’s Response
