(Reuters) – OpenAI unveiled a number of recent instruments on Tuesday that will make it simpler for builders to construct fashions primarily based on its synthetic intelligence know-how, because the ChatGPT maker wrestles with tech giants to maintain up within the generative AI race.
The Microsoft-backed startup mentioned a brand new real-time device, rolling out instantly for testing, would enable builders to create AI voice functions utilizing a single set of directions.
The method earlier required builders to undergo at the least three steps: first transcribing audio, then working the generated-text mannequin to give you a solution to the question and at last utilizing a separate text-to-speech mannequin.

This fine-tuning course of can embrace suggestions from people who feed the mannequin examples of excellent and dangerous solutions primarily based on its responses.
Utilizing photos to fine-tune fashions would give them stronger picture understanding capabilities, enabling functions resembling enhanced visible search and improved object detection for autonomous automobiles, OpenAI mentioned.
The startup additionally unveiled a device that will enable smaller fashions to study from bigger, established ones, together with “Prompt Caching” that cuts some improvement prices by half by reusing items of the textual content AI has beforehand processed.
