Gemini Live voice released and latest ChatGPT-4o outperforms LMSYS

The competition between AI experts continued this week with the simultaneous announcement of latest features and improved AI models by Google and OpenAI.

At its Made By Google event on Tuesday, Google unveiled its latest Pixel mobile devices with an AI assistant based on its Twins Models. The interactive voice chat feature Gemini Live is a direct challenge to OpenAI's yet-to-be-released voice assistant.

Gemini Live allows a user to interact with their Android device in a free-flowing conversational format, much like what chat assistant OpenAI demonstrated a couple of months ago. While OpenAI has only made its chat-enabled GPT-4o available to a limited variety of users in an alpha version, Google says it plans to roll out Gemini Live to its users.

Gemini Live is now available to Gemini Advanced subscribers, but initially only in English. Google says Gemini Live has began rolling out and might be available on Pixel, Samsung and other Android phones.

The 10 voices the user can pick from proceed the constellation theme of Gemini with names like Vega, Dipper and Bear.

Here is the a part of the keynote where you possibly can see the demo of Gemini Live. It seems that Google has come out of its staged Twins Demos and did all of those demos live this time.

OpenAI’s cheeky revelation

OpenAI seems to time its latest product and update announcements to coincide with Google, Apple, and meta events. Yesterday's announcement of an updated ChatGPT-4o model was probably no coincidence.

The AI ​​rumor mill has been in overdrive, with speculation that OpenAI is about to launch a brand new base model. Unfortunately, we don't have GPT-5 yet, but it surely seems that the anonymous model that appeared on Chatbot Arena a couple of days ago is an updated OpenAI model called ChatGPT-4o-latest.

When Rick Osterloh, Senior Vice President of Devices & Services at Google, opened Google's keynote, he proudly announced that Google's experimental model Gemini 1.5 Pro topped the LMSYS leaderboard.

This announcement was not well received, as LMSYS announced today that OpenAI has regained the highest spot with ChatGPT-4o-latest.

Exciting update from Chatbot Arena!

In the brand new ChatGPT-4o rankings of the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, it’s at the highest in every category:

• Overall: #1
• Mathematics: #1-2
• Encoding: #1
• Difficult prompts: #1
• Following instructions: #1
• Longer query: #1
• Multiple rotation: No. 1

The increase in ChatGPT performance that now we have observed in the previous couple of days is probably going because of the introduction of this latest model.

OpenAI has announced that its DevDay 2024 events will happen in several cities this 12 months, starting in San Francisco (October 1) after which moving on to London (October 30) and Singapore (November 21). OpenAI stressed that it is going to not use these events to announce a brand new Frontier model, so don't expect GPT-5 to be released anytime soon.

Will Google, Apple and Meta add these product announcement dates to their calendars to steal the show from OpenAI?
