Lecture Notes: Introduction to GPT-40 and its Capabilities

Overview of GPT-40

Release: Recently released by OpenAI.
Name Meaning: "O" stands for Omni.
Capabilities: Can input and output text, audio, and images.
Specialty: Better at vision and audio understanding compared to previous models.

Demos: Recommended to watch all demos to see the full range of capabilities.
Access Testing: The speaker tested access to the model and confirmed the availability.

Initial Setup
- Reference to a previous video involving a Python program for brokerage account and stock charts.
- Program interacts with Interactive Brokers TWS API to pull stock data.
Features Tested
- Chart Pulling: Examples include Taiwan Semiconductor, AMC, and GME.
- Screenshot Functionality: Saves charts as screenshots to a directory.
- Technical Analysis: GPT-40 provides markdown descriptions with technical analysis of the saved charts.

Screenshot Function
- Adds the ability to take chart screenshots and save them to a directory.
- The path to the saved image is used for further analysis.
Analyze Chart Function
- A new function (gp4_technical_analyst) created to analyze image charts using GPT-40.
- Uses OpenAI's API with appropriate organization and API keys.
- The chart image is base64 encoded and sent to GPT-40 for analysis.
- Returns markdown text with detailed technical analysis.
- Example: Analyzing trend lines and detecting support/resistance levels.

Drawing Enhancements: Added ability to draw trend lines on charts before taking screenshots.
Analysis Quality: Noted improvement in analysis quality compared to GPT-4 vision.
Additional Contexts
- Tested on various charts and heatmaps.
- GPT-40 provided detailed analysis much faster than a human could.
Potential: Expect further integration into desktop applications for real-time analysis.

Technical Analysts: Potential obsolescence of technical analysts due to GPT-40 capabilities.
Future Integration: Anticipate more AI integration into future tools and applications.
Programming Skills: Question raised about the future need for programming skills with advancing AI capabilities.
Sharing: Plans to share the code and more insights in future updates.

Excitement and Concerns: Excitement about future possibilities mixed with concerns about job displacement.
Final Note: Encouragement to explore the capabilities of GPT-40 and its applications.

Additional Resources: Watch demos and stay updated on further releases from OpenAI.

Speaker's Note: Code will be shared and further insights about GPT-40 will be provided in upcoming content.
