OpenAI Delays Advanced Voice Mode for ChatGPT Plus

According to OpenAI, the launch of Advanced Voice Mode for ChatGPT Plus customers may be delayed until the fall. 

This is contingent upon the completion of internal safety and reliability checks. The delay will not, however, impact the rollout of the new video as well as screen sharing capabilities showcased separately during OpenAI's spring press event.

According to TechCrunch, these capabilities encompass solving math problems based on visual input and providing explanations for different settings menus on a device. 

These features are compatible with ChatGPT on both smartphones and desktop clients, including the macOS app that was recently made accessible to all ChatGPT users.
