Part 6/13:
Adding multimodal abilities—integrating text, images, audio, and video—has become a priority. GPT-4 already introduced native image processing; future iterations, especially GPT-5, are expected to incorporate real-time audio streaming, high-fidelity image understanding, and even video generation or comprehension.
Audio and Video
While real-time video streaming remains probable in future models, GPT-5 may at least support real-time audio interactions and high-quality image processing. Video understanding or generation might be reserved for subsequent versions like GPT-5.5, expected sometime in 2026. The trend points toward fully integrated, multimedia-aware AI systems capable of understanding and generating diverse digital formats.
