(Reuters) – OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, said on Tuesday it would delay the launch of its “Voice Mode” feature by a month to July due to technical issues.
The company had originally planned to roll out the realistic voice chat experience to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users in late June, but said it was delaying it because it needed time to reach its launch standard.
“For example, we are improving the model's ability to detect and reject certain content. We are also working to improve the user experience and prepare our infrastructure to scale to millions while maintaining real-time responses,” OpenAI said in a post on Platform social networks
The feature will initially be rolled out to a small group of users to gather feedback and will be available to all Plus users in the fall, subject to security and reliability checks, the company said.
OpenAI is also working on implementing new video and screen sharing capabilities.
In May, it said it would launch a new ai model called GPT-4o, capable of realistic voice conversations and being able to interact via text and images, its latest move to stay ahead in the race to dominate ai technology. emergent.
The new audio capabilities will allow users to talk to ChatGPT and get real-time responses without delay, as well as interrupt ChatGPT while it talks, both features of realistic conversations that ai voice assistants have found challenging.
