Episode notes
Multimodal Omni Model Is The Headline
- GPT-4o combines text, voice and vision into a single Omni model that OpenAI claims is cheaper and faster.
- Low-latency voice plus vision is the standout capability that enables new real-time apps.
Try Building With The Low-Latency APIs
- Developers should test whether the low-latency voice and vision APIs are available to build new apps today.
- If those APIs expose the same speed, expect a wave of real-time assistant use cases.
Building Voice Assistants Taught Hard Lessons
- Speaker 0 recounted building a voice assistant and noted interruptions and buffering are hard to get right.
- They emphasized latency and buffer tuning as the key engineering challenge for usable voice assistants.
