About

GPT-4o ("o" for omni), released May 13, 2024, was OpenAI's first natively multimodal flagship: a single model accepting and generating text, images, and audio — including real-time voice-to-voice conversation via Advanced Voice Mode (Sept 2024) and the Realtime API (Oct 2024). At release it set records on audio speech recognition/translation and vision benchmarks, scored 88.7 on MMLU, and covered 50+ languages. 128K-token context, proprietary/closed weights, available via the OpenAI API, Azure OpenAI, and ChatGPT (free tier with limits; Plus gets 5x higher limits). Fine-tuning for enterprise customers arrived Aug 2024.

Benchmarks

At release (OpenAI, May 2024): 88.7 MMLU (vs 86.5 GPT-4), SOTA audio speech recognition and translation, SOTA vision benchmarks. Independent comparisons since (e.g. vs Claude 3.5 Sonnet): roughly tied on knowledge (88.7/88.7 MMLU), Sonnet ahead on GPQA/GSM8K, GPT-4o ahead on MATH — treat 2024 figures as historical; the model has been superseded by GPT-5.x for frontier work.

Provider-reported unless a source says otherwise. Benchmarks are marketing-adjacent by nature — treat them as directional.

Trust score — 7/10

/10 trustVerified

Scored 7/10 (verified tier, metrics-v1). Evidence: provider-tier estimate — thinner evidence (no public adoption metric); released 883 days ago. Manual review: defining 2024-25 multimodal model (native text/vision/audio, 128K, MMLU 88.7 at release); still widely deployed; pricing shifted over time — verify live. License: Proprietary — closed weights.
