1. The sky voice currently available in the app is a different model from the one they presented (one is pure TTS, the new one in GPT-4o is a proper multi modal model that can do speech in and out end to end) 2. Look at these images and tel

On Friday their comments included a bunch of details that were not made public anywhere else at the time. If they don't get Altman back the company is toast and they were about to get an option to sell their shares in a new funding rou

It will be wild to see all of these employees leave to work for Microsoft (or turn OpenAI into a for profit) and in the process hand Sam and a few other CXX folks a huge chunk of equity in a new multi billion dollar venture. I'm guessi
