OpenAI set to introduce cutting-edge multimodal AI digital assistant

OpenAI may soon unveil an advanced multimodal AI model that can simultaneously talk and recognize objects, The Information reports.

This new assistant, speculated to be showcased as early as Monday, promises to revolutionize various applications, from customer service to educational support.

The upcoming model is said to offer enhanced performance in interpreting images and audio, surpassing existing technologies in speed and accuracy. Despite speculation, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has clarified that the upcoming announcement is not about GPT-5, which is expected later this year.

This development also comes at a time when Google is rumored to be working on a similar project called "Pixie," suggesting fierce competition in the AI assistant market. Whether OpenAI's new offering will have implications for Google's I/O developer conference remains to be seen.

OpenAI's livestream event, scheduled for Monday at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET, is eagerly anticipated by tech enthusiasts and industry experts alike.
