OpenAI caused a stir in July 2024 with the two new models GPT-4o Mini and GPT-4o . While the previous language models (GPT-4, GPT-3.5, etc.) were criticized for their high costs, this shortcoming has now been remedied. GPT-4o Mini and GPT-4o impress with higher performance, better language understanding and more functions at lower costs
The remarkable development of the europe dataset ChatGPT chatbot and the API (the API is relevant for developers) has its consequences: In the “ChatGPT-4o vs. 4” comparison, the advanced model GPT-4o wins by far. However, there are some special features where GPT-4 is more convincing
In this blog post we compare both models and take a closer look at the entry-level model GPT-4o Mini. Have fun!
Fact: GPT-4o tops the GPT-4 model
The latest versions of GPT-4 have been trained with data sets that go up to December 2023. More recent data was not even used to train the new GPT-4o Mini and GPT-4o models. Thus, there is no model from OpenAI that has a fresher level of knowledge than GPT-4
Nevertheless, the new AI language models GPT-4o Mini and GPT-4o are superior to the GPT-4 model. The main reasons for this are the greater range of capabilities, the higher cost efficiency and the significantly increased performance. In the weeks following the release, the advanced new models should even be able to process video and audio files as input
Ultimately, the "o" in the name of the new models has a reason: It stands for "omni", which means "everything" in German. The company OpenAI wants to allude to the fact that the 4o models remove the previous limitations of language models and offer great advantages compared to GPT-4 and the previous models.
