👀 ChatGPT Sees and Understands with New Vision Upgrade

On Day 6 of its live stream event, OpenAI announced a game-changing update: ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode can now analyze live video input and respond in real time.

The details:

• Users can share live video or screens during conversations, letting ChatGPT process and discuss visual context instantly.

• A sleek new video icon in the mobile app makes this easy, with screen sharing tucked into a separate menu.

• Available now for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team subscribers. Enterprise and Edu users will join in January.

• Oh, and for the holidays? You can chat with Santa. 🎅 A festive voice option is live through early January.

Why it matters:
Seven months after teasing visual understanding, OpenAI has delivered. ChatGPT’s leap to multimodal interaction — blending text, voice, and vision — signals a new era for conversational AI. It’s been a huge week for AI vision, with Gemini and ChatGPT unveiling groundbreaking capabilities.

This isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a glimpse into what’s next.
