Full recap: https://craftycto.com/blog/aiewf2025-my-day-1-highlights/
On April 9th, OpenAI released an updated gpt-4-turbo model:
“GPT-4 Turbo with Vision: The latest GPT-4 Turbo model with vision capabilities. Vision requests can now use JSON mode and function calling.”
In updating my Recipe Ingestor project to use the new model (and eliminate an ugly workaround), I found a pair of new Vision examples in the OpenAI Cookbook, which show vision working with function calling. Worth a look if this is your kind of thing.

OpenAI has released a unified GPT-4 model with Vision baked in, so I’ll be able to eliminate the biggest kludge in my current heirloom recipe extractor. Will do and report back.
What problem is OpenAI trying to solve with prepaid API billing? Do they have a massive fraud problem?
Can you imagine Amazon AWS offering its services that way?
Sorry, that’s your problem, OpenAI, not mine. Don’t inflict it on me.
Not smart, especially right now as other players are getting very competitive.
