OpenAI's New GPT-4o Immediately Available in Azure Playground
OpenAI's new GPT-4o, the company's latest/greatest large language model (LLM), is immediately available for Azure developers, Microsoft announced today.
OpenAI, which started the generative AI craze, today announced the new model (with "o" standing for omni), describing it as "a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction -- it accepts as input any combination of text, audio, and image and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs."
Rollout of the new tool started immediately, with OpenAI saying, "capabilities will be rolled out iteratively (with extended red team access starting today)."
Also starting today is a preview of the hot new tech on the Azure cloud, which Microsoft wasted no time in announcing, perhaps getting a head start on other cloud giants because of a $13 billion investment in OpenAI.
"Azure OpenAI Service customers can explore GPT-4o's extensive capabilities through a preview playground in Azure OpenAI Studio starting today in two regions in the US. This initial release focuses on text and vision inputs to provide a glimpse into the model's potential, paving the way for further capabilities like audio and video."
