achievement , a multimodal model that understands a bunch of different input types , from video to text to speech , and it can respond in a bunch of rich ways .”
Microsoft has been heavily involved in the development and optimisation of GPT-4o . “ An enormous amount of work has gone into GPT-4o , in both the model itself , as well as the supporting infrastructure around it , to ensure that it ’ s safe by design ,” he notes .
Kevin also emphasised Microsoft ’ s focus on efficiency , stating : “ Between the launch of GPT-4 , it ’ s 12 times cheaper to make a call to GPT-4o than the original chat or the GPT-4 model , and it ’ s also six times faster in terms of time to first token response .”
Looking ahead , Kevin expressed optimism about continued AI progress . “ There ’ s no point of diminishing marginal return here . You can count on things getting more robust and cheaper at a pretty aggressive clip over time .”
Microsoft ’ s partnership with OpenAI allows it to push the frontiers of AI capabilities while optimising efficiency and safety . As Kevin put it : “ It ’ s a really important thing to internalise , and something that we challenge ourselves on at Microsoft all the time is to aim for things that are really , truly ambitious .”
