GPT-4o (Mar 2025)

Closed weights OpenAI March 2025

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

What the numbers mean

About this model

GPT-4o (Mar 2025) was published by OpenAI, in United States of America, in March 2025. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Multimodal, Language, Audio, Speech, Vision, and is recorded as doing chat, Image generation, Audio generation, Vision-language generation, Table tasks, Language modeling/generation, Question answering, Speech recognition (ASR), Speech-to-text.

It builds on GPT-4o (Jan 2025), which is why it shares that model's general shape and size.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

How it was trained

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is sOTA improvement,Significant use.

Answers
