"text": "I created this post to provide a clear and accurate summary of the GPT-4o release, cutting through the noise and addressing the confusion caused by poor transparency from OpenAI.\n\n1. **macOS App Issues:** The new macOS app looks and feels like a port of the iOS app, suffering from performance issues such as freezing and lag, especially with long context windows. This is better in the latest update but not gone. Despite the hype, its utility is limited, and the lack of the live screen capture functionality yet is a notable drawback (see point 3). It will become invaluable after a dozen of updates when all of the bugs are gone. Just not today.\n2. **Voice Mode Alpha Testing:** OpenAI is rolling out a new Voice Mode for GPT-4o in the coming weeks, but only select users will gain early access during the alpha phase. Most users will have to wait months for the beta release. This staggered rollout leaves many waiting, underscoring the slow pace at which new features are becoming accessible.\n3. **Delayed Multimodal Features:** The promised multimodal capabilities are not yet available. Specifically most of the features advertised on the main page: https://openai.com/index/hello-gpt-4o/. Native image generation, 3D support, video stream processing, typography, and meeting notes with multiple speakers: these features are still pending without clear timelines for release as confirmed by the support. GPT-4o uses DALL-E for image generation at the moment, limiting its true multimodal functionality, again confirmed by the support. Video support is not even there. Custom GPTs use GPT-4 as confirmed by the support without any notes on GPT-4o integration.\n4. **What are you getting:** At the moment, the only new features you are getting with GPT-4o are improved speed and potentially better reasoning capabilities, along with increased usage quotas for paid users. It is really smarter, true that. However, beyond these enhancements, many of the more advanced features remain unavailable, making the current benefits relatively modest compared to the promised potential (and that is exactly why most people get into the paid plans).\n\n**I love it, don't get me wrong, but I just feel empathetic for the users getting into the Plus plan for the advertised functionality, such as 3D model handling only to find out that they were not even announced yet. The main GPT-4o page does not transparently communicate these limitations, which can be seen as misleading to users expecting these features.**\n\nIt is quite outrageous that they couldn't make things clear to everyone. This leads me to believe that this was not communicated deliberately, to either increase the hype or just directly mislead everyone. As much as I love the model I absolutely hate this release preparation.\n\nP.S. *\"We appreciate you for sharing your concerns about the release timeline for the multimodal features of GPT-4o. We understand that the lack of specific timeframes can be frustrating and may lead to confusion. Currently, GPT-4o is rolling out with its core capabilities, including text, vision, and audio. While we are excited about the potential of features like native image generation, 3D modeling, video stream support, and advanced typography, these are still under development and testing. We aim to introduce these features iteratively and will provide updates as they become available. We appreciate your feedback regarding the clarity of our communications. We will take your suggestion into consideration to ensure that our users have a clear understanding of what features are currently available and what is coming soon.\"* as informed by the support team.",
