- ChatGPT’s new Advanced Voice mode has been delayed by at least one month.
- OpenAI is currently working on improving the model’s safety and reliability.
- The feature will be available to select users as a limited alpha soon, with a full release slated for the end of 2024.
Last month, I wrote about how one of GPT-4o’s headlining features wouldn’t see the light of day for a few more weeks. The feature in question was an advanced voice conversation mode built into the ChatGPT smartphone app, with capabilities far beyond any personal assistant we’ve seen so far. Fast forward to today, however, and OpenAI has announced that the feature won’t be ready for at least a month longer.
In a recent tweet, OpenAI said that it had originally planned to start rolling out the feature to select users in late June. However, the company has decided that it needs another month to focus on safety. Put bluntly and in OpenAI’s own words, the company is “improving the model’s ability to detect and refuse certain content.”
