😮 OpenAI brings ChatGPT to your landline

OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT's accessibility by bringing it to landlines and WhatsApp.

Key Highlights:

• ChatGPT on Landlines: Call 1-800-CHATGPT for real-time conversations similar to its Advanced Voice Mode. U.S. users get 15 minutes of free calls, with standard carrier fees applying.

• WhatsApp Integration: ChatGPT is now available for basic text-based exchanges on WhatsApp, with a daily usage limit. Advanced features like image analysis and web search are in development.

OpenAI aims to make AI more accessible, with plans to enhance features further in the future.

🔹OpenAI brings its o1 reasoning model to its API — for certain developers

OpenAI is rolling out its advanced "reasoning" AI model, o1, to select developers via its API, alongside several other updates.

Key Highlights:

• o1 API Access: Available to "tier 5" developers (spending $1,000+ with OpenAI and with accounts older than 30 days). Replaces o1-preview and offers improved accuracy and customization features like function calling and "reasoning_effort" controls.

• Pricing: o1 is costly at $15 per ~750,000 words analyzed and $60 per ~750,000 words generated, reflecting its high computational needs.

• Realtime API Updates: New GPT-4o models introduced for low-latency voice apps, with improved efficiency and WebRTC integration for seamless, real-world audio interactions.

• New Developer Tools: Preference fine-tuning added to the fine-tuning API, and beta software developer kits released for Go and Java.

OpenAI plans to expand o1 access incrementally while continuing to refine and improve its AI offerings.

😮OpenAI says it has no plans for a Sora API — yet

OpenAI currently has no plans to release an API for Sora, its AI video-generation model, citing high demand and capacity challenges. This decision contrasts with competitors like Google and AWS, which offer APIs for their generative video models.

🤖ChatGPT’s AI search engine is rolling out to everyone

ChatGPT's AI search engine is now available to all users, including free-tier accounts, as part of OpenAI’s "12 Days of Ship-mas" announcements. Updates include:

• Mobile Enhancements: Search results now resemble traditional search engines, featuring lists with images, ratings, and maps.

• Faster Search for Websites: Displays relevant links instantly before generating detailed responses.

• Advanced Voice Mode: Paid users can access real-time web updates via voice commands.

Previously exclusive to paid subscribers, the feature now expands access while introducing optimizations for broader use.

😮Instagram’s head says social media needs
more context because of AI

Instagram head Adam Mosseri warns users to be cautious about trusting online images due to AI's ability to create realistic but misleading content. He emphasizes the need for platforms to label AI-generated content and provide context about who is sharing it to help users assess credibility. While Meta's platforms currently lack these tools, Mosseri's comments suggest potential updates to content moderation, possibly inspired by features like Community Notes on X or Bluesky's filters.
