A Quick Look at GPT-4o

I did a quick benchmark of the new GPT-4o model versus GPT-4-turbo. Roughly twice the speed, with improved Vision accuracy.

Since last week’s Spring Update event from OpenAI, I’ve been wanting to test the new Omni model (GPT-4o) in my Vision-based recipe ingestor project. This Python script processes a directory of recipe images, and using GPT-4’s Vision capabilities, as well as JSON Mode, produces a structured JSON recipe that I can post directly to my Paprika Recipes app.

Benchmark Results

For a batch of three recipes / four recipe images, bypassing uploading to the Paprika cloud.

Quantitative

  • GPT-4-turbo: 1:03 (1 min 3 secs)
  • GPT-4o: 0:38 (38 secs)

Qualitative

GPT-4o’s Vision capabilities seem to have improved over GPT-4-turbo. Example: GPT-4-turbo had a hard time parsing the handwritten name “Debbie Gardner”, producing “Betty’s Cards”, “Betty Bard”, “Betty Borden” etc. on different runs. GPT-4o got the name correct.
