GPT-4o System Card

GPT-4o is an autoregressive omni model that accepts as input any combination of text, audio, image, and video, and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. It's trained end-to-end across text, vision, and audio, meaning all inputs and outputs are processed by the same neural network. GPT-4o can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, which is similar to human response time in conversation. It matches GPT-4 Turbo performance on text in English and code, with significant improvement on text in non-English languages, while also being much faster and 50\% cheaper in the API. GPT-4o is especially better at vision and audio understanding compared to existing models. In line with our commitment to building AI safely and consistent with our voluntary commitments to the White House, we are sharing the GPT-4o System Card, which includes our Preparedness Framework evaluations. In this System Card, we provide a detailed look at GPT-4o's capabilities, limitations, and safety evaluations across multiple categories, focusing on speech-to-speech while also evaluating text and image capabilities, and measures we've implemented to ensure the model is safe and aligned. We also include third-party assessments on dangerous capabilities, as well as discussion of potential societal impacts of GPT-4o's text and vision capabilities.

Differentiable Random Access Memory using Lattices

We introduce a differentiable random access memory module with $O(1)$ performance regardless of size, scaling to billions of entries. The design stores entries on points of a chosen lattice to calculate nearest neighbours of arbitrary points efficiently by exploiting symmetries. Augmenting a standard neural network architecture with a single memory layer based on this, we can scale the parameter count up to memory limits with negligible computational overhead, giving better accuracy at similar cost. On large language modelling tasks, these enhanced models with larger capacity significantly outperform the unmodified transformer baseline. We found continued scaling with memory size up to the limits tested.
