In its latest event, OpenAI revealed that it is launching a
desktop app of ChatGPT, a new and faster model ‘GPT-4o,’ and bringing UI
changes to ChatGPT on web.
ChatGPT works a little differently in the desktop app. When you open it on your
desktop next to a program, ChatGPT can answer any queries related to whatever
is displayed on your screen. To ask questions, you can use the Option + Space
keyboard shortcut, as well as take and share screenshots with the app to obtain
ChatGPT’s response. Currently, the app’s availability is only limited to
ChatGPT Plus users, but it will be expanded to all users with a broader rollout
in the coming weeks.
In addition to this launch, OpenAI also introduced a new GPT-4
product: GPT-4o, a faster multimodal model that can be accessed for free by
anyone. It can generate content and understand commands across all modalities:
voice, text, and images.
Lastly, OpenAI also announced that ChatGPT is getting a
refreshed UI on web. The UI changes are apparently minor, however, including a
new home screen and message layout.
The new ChatGPT desktop app will initially work for macOS,
while a Windows version can be expected later this year.
