Episode notes

Open AI's chat app, Whisper, is a fast and accurate speech-to-text model that can handle noisy environments. They are releasing a third update that will be open source. In addition to Whisper, they also introduced a text-to-speech model with six realistic voices and the ability for users to create their own custom voices. AI developer Nate Chan noted that Open AI's text-to-speech is significantly cheaper than 11 labs. While some users have compared the two, Open AI's focus on affordability marks a shift in their competitive strategy.

Yesterday OpenAI announces 128k GPT-4 Turbo at 1/3rd the price; a new Text-to-Speech model; Whisper 3; and proto-agent features like the Assistants API and Custom GPTs.
