ChatGPT for macOS 1.2026.153
OpenAI released the native ChatGPT desktop app for macOS.
With a simple keyboard shortcut (Option + Space), you can instantly ask ChatGPT a question.
You can also take and discuss screenshots and directly in the app.
The app also enables you to start new conversations with photos from your computer, or new photos you take.
You can now have voice conversations with ChatGPT directly from your computer, starting with Voice Mode that has been available in ChatGPT at launch, with GPT-4o’s new audio and video capabilities coming in the future. Whether you want to brainstorm a new idea for your company, prepare for an interview or have a topic you’d like to discuss, tap the headphone icon in the bottom right corner of the desktop app to start a voice conversation.
With the release of ChatGPT for macOS, OpenAI has also unveiled the even more advanced GPT-4o model.
GPT-4o is OpenAI’s new flagship model that can reason across audio, vision, and text in real time.
GPT-4o will be available in ChatGPT and the API as a text and vision model (ChatGPT will continue to have support for voice via the pre-existing Voice Mode feature) initially. Specifically, GPT-4o will be available in ChatGPT Free, Plus, and Team (with Enterprise coming soon) and in the Chat Completions API, Assistants API, and Batch API.
