"Bug fixes and performance improvements” … we’ve introduced an update to GPT-4o that we’ve found, through experiment results and qualitative feedback, ChatGPT users tend to prefer. It’s not a new frontier-class model. Although we’d like to tell you exactly how the model responses are different, figuring out how to granularly benchmark and communicate model behavior improvements is an ongoing area of research in itself (which we’re working on!).
Sometimes we can point to new capabilities and specific improvements — and we'll try our best to communicate that whenever possible. In the meantime, our team is constantly iterating on the model by adding good data, removing bad data, and experimenting with new research methods based on user feedback, offline evaluations, and more. That's the case with this model update.
We’ll continue to keep you posted as best as we can. Thank you for your patience!
