Best AI Vision Models for 302.AI

GPT-4o (o for "omni") is an important step towards a more natural interaction between humans and computers. It accepts any combination as input, including text, audio and image, and can generate any combination of outputs, including text, audio and image. It can respond to audio in as little as 228 milliseconds with an average of 325 milliseconds. This is similar to the human response time in a conversation (opens in new window). It is as fast and cheaper than GPT-4 Turbo on text in English or code. However, it has a significant improvement in text in non-English language. GPT-4o performs better than existing models at audio and vision understanding.

A small model with superior textual Intelligence and multimodal reasoning. GPT-4o Mini's low cost and low latency enable a wide range of tasks, including applications that chain or paralelize multiple model calls (e.g. calling multiple APIs), send a large amount of context to the models (e.g. full code base or history of conversations), or interact with clients through real-time, fast text responses (e.g. customer support chatbots). GPT-4o Mini supports text and vision today in the API. In the future, it will support text, image and video inputs and outputs. The model supports up to 16K outputs tokens per request and has knowledge until October 2023. It has a context of 128K tokens. The improved tokenizer shared by GPT-4o makes it easier to handle non-English text.

Mistral AI announced a number of key updates on September 17, 2024 to improve the accessibility and performance. They introduced a free version of "La Plateforme", their serverless platform, which allows developers to experiment with and prototype Mistral models at no cost. Mistral AI has also reduced the prices of their entire model line, including a 50% discount for Mistral Nemo, and an 80% discount for Mistral Small and Codestral. This makes advanced AI more affordable for users. The company also released Mistral Small v24.09 - a 22-billion parameter model that offers a balance between efficiency and performance, and is suitable for tasks such as translation, summarization and sentiment analysis. Pixtral 12B is a model with image understanding abilities that can be used to analyze and caption pictures without compromising text performance.

Pixtral Large is Mistral AI’s latest open-weight multimodal model, featuring a powerful 124-billion-parameter architecture. It combines a 123-billion-parameter multimodal decoder with a 1-billion-parameter vision encoder, allowing it to excel at interpreting documents, charts, and natural images while maintaining top-tier text comprehension. With a 128,000-token context window, it can process up to 30 high-resolution images simultaneously. The model has achieved cutting-edge results on benchmarks like MathVista, DocVQA, and VQAv2, outperforming competitors such as GPT-4o and Gemini-1.5 Pro. Available under the Mistral Research License for non-commercial use and the Mistral Commercial License for enterprise applications, Pixtral Large is designed for advanced AI-powered understanding.
