OpenAI's New 'Predicted Outputs' Boosts GPT-4o Performance, 2-4 Times Faster for Replit and Cursor

Nov 4, 2024, 11:16 PM

OpenAI has launched a new API feature called 'Predicted Outputs' that significantly enhances the performance of its GPT-4o model. This feature is particularly beneficial for applications requiring low latency and fast, accurate responses, such as customer service bots, real-time collaboration tools, and interactive educational platforms. By leveraging speculative decoding, Predicted Outputs allows developers to pass an initial draft through the predictions, resulting in a substantial speed-up for tasks involving rewrites. The new technology can make GPT-4o 2-4 times faster and up to 5 times faster in certain scenarios. This advancement is expected to be a game-changer for coding use cases, including code editing and refactoring, where it can achieve significant latency reductions. Predictive Output is going to be huge for tools like Replit and Cursor. “For instance, if you are asking the model to rewrite some code with only minor changes, you can reduce your latency significantly by using Predicted Outputs.”
