OpenAI GPT 4O is free to use (limited queries) but has 5 times the usage limits with paid access. It is faster and better than the competing AI models.
It clearly shows that the foundational models will be free. Fast and free was discussed by Sam Altman as a goal in his All-in- podcast interview.
This AI is twice as fast as GPT4 Turbo and faster than Google’s fastest model.
OpenAI GPT 4O can handle voice with real time conversational speech.
It can also do realtime translation.
It is far better at handling pictures and video.

How’s its energy usage looking?
Just tested it.
Every single answer I got in my short test was a confident hallucination. That’s impressive!
Its also a step back from GPT-4 for coding unfortunately – just had a frustrating few hours with it. Faster but stupider – more like a replacement for 3.5
It is most likely a raw model of GPT 5
If we look back at GPT 3.5 – GPT 4 came only four months after it
It makes sense that GPT 5 is waiting for us around the corner
