OpenAI is set to launch a suite of ‘miracle’ tools aimed at making it easier for developers to work with artificial intelligence voice assistants, as part of its strategy to maintain a competitive edge in the AI landscape.
In its latest update, the ChatGPT creator is introducing a variety of new tools—available for immediate testing—that streamline the application development process based on the company’s AI technology.
According to Reuters, the new tool from Sam Altman’s AI firm will enable developers to create AI voice applications using a single set of instructions.
Previously, developers needed to transcribe audio, utilize a generated-text model to formulate a response, and then implement a separate text-to-speech model when developing an AI voice assistant. The new tool simplifies this process by eliminating those steps.
This announcement comes amid intensifying competition in the AI sector, with major tech companies like Google-parent Alphabet also integrating AI models that can handle various forms of information, including video, audio, and text.
Additionally, the Microsoft-backed AI startup has introduced a fine-tuning tool that allows developers to enhance model responses using both images and text after initial training. This fine-tuning process can incorporate human feedback, enabling the model to learn from examples of good and bad answers based on its responses.
Leveraging images for fine-tuning would enhance the model’s image understanding abilities, which could lead to advancements such as improved visual search and better object detection for autonomous vehicles, according to OpenAI.
The startup also announced a tool that enables smaller models to learn from larger ones, along with “Prompt Caching,” which can reduce development costs by half by reusing text that the AI has previously processed.
