Hello GPT-4o: OpenAI’s New Flagship Model

OpenAI is yet here again with an awesome model. GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) is a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction—it accepts as input any combination of text, audio, image, and video and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. It can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, which is similar to human response time(opens in a new window) in a conversation. It matches GPT-4 Turbo performance on text in English and code, with significant improvement on text in non-English languages, while also being much faster and 50% cheaper in the API.

Cycode Launches Industry’s First ASPM Marketplace

Cycode now enables customers to seamlessly integrate and ingest findings from relevant third-party security tools, complement and contextualize those findings with native scanners and eliminate gaps within supply chain security. This is a significant milestone that delivers economic optionality for businesses and reinforces Cycode’s position as the industry’s only complete ASPM. Recent findings from The State of ASPM 2024 report reveal that 77% of CISOs believe software supply chain security is a bigger blind spot for AppSec than Gen AI or open source. It comes as no surprise that Gartner has estimated that by 2026, 40% of security teams will utilize an ASPM tool. Unfortunately, traditional AppSec solutions only provide narrow visibility into the application layer, leading to fragmented monitoring, false positives and siloed application workflows – ultimately creating exploitable gaps in application development.
