OpenAI: visual recognition technology in the testing phase
Six months have passed since OpenAI's initial demonstration of visual AI. This is capable of identifying almost anything, including solving mathematical equations. Today we are finally getting closer to being able to go live.
ChatGPT gains new features
References to 'Live Camera' video features have been spotted in the code of the latest ChatGPT beta. Which means the OpenAI app could add 'eyes' to its already impressive advanced voice mode. Information found in the code of version 1.2024.317 reveals features such as “live camera functionality”, “real-time processing”, “voice mode integration” and “visual recognition capabilities “.
New perspectives with the 'Live Camera'
This could allow you to open the webcam while you speak in advanced voice mode, so it can give live feedback on what it can see in front of you. It's similar to Google's Project Astra with real-time visual analytics. Features found in the ChatGPT Android app beta suggest that the Live Camera feature could be coming to a ChatGPT beta in the near future.
Promising demonstrations
During May demonstrations during OpenAI's spring update, video features could recognize a dog, its actions with a ball and more, while remembering key information like the dog's name. Another demo showed someone using ChatGPT's 'Live Camera' feature on a tour of London, to allow them to point out details of different locations and landmarks.
While the advanced voice rollout is now available to everyone, including on the web, things have been quiet regarding the 'Live Camera' feature since the announcement. But we stay optimistic and look forward to seeing the next developments of this promising technology.
