Investing.com -- OpenAI has rolled out an update for its GPT-4o model within the ChatGPT platform, as announced yesterday. The improvements in the AI model include enhanced ability to follow detailed instructions, particularly those containing multiple requests, and an improved capacity to handle intricate technical and coding problems. The update also brings increased intuition and creativity, along with a reduction in the usage of emojis.

The enhanced GPT-4o is currently available for all paying users and will be accessible to free users over the forthcoming weeks. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, praised the update, stating on X, "the gpt-4o update is GOOD."

When queried about the company’s decision to update the GPT-4o model instead of the newer GPT-4.5 model, Altman attributed this to a shortage of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). He further highlighted that the new version of GPT-4o excels particularly at coding, following instructions, and freedom.

This update follows the release of the 4o image generation tool in ChatGPT and Sora, which has become a viral sensation. The popularity of the new tool led OpenAI to implement rate limits. Altman gave an update on the image generation tool, saying, "it’s super fun seeing people love images in chatgpt. but our GPUs are melting. we are going to temporarily introduce some rate limits while we work on making it more efficient. hopefully won’t be long! chatgpt free tier will get 3 generations per day soon."
