Choosing the time to adopt technology can be tricky. Users want the most advantageous features, but smart purchasing usually means waiting for a while to see what problems arise.

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, released the new GPT-4o version, which the company claims can "reason across audio, vision, and text in real time." They further call it "a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction—it accepts as input any combination of text, audio, image, and video and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. It can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, which is similar to human response time in a conversation. It matches GPT-4 Turbo performance on text in English and code, with significant improvement on text in non-English languages, while also being much faster and 50% cheaper in the API. GPT-4o is especially better at vision and audio understanding compared to existing models.

First, take a step back to think clearly, because there is a lot of rhetorical technique in play to shape how an audience thinks and responds, otherwise known as subtle selling.
