FULL STORY
======================================================================

 ChatGPT s Advanced Voice Mode hasnt even been out for very long, yet OpenAI 
could be set to add eight more voices to the incredible technology that lets 
you naturally converse with artificial intelligence. 

These new ChatGPT voices offer a range of new styles that could add to the 
four preset voices: Juniper, Ember, Cove, and Breeze currently available. 
Advanced Voice Mode gives you the most humanly possible ChatGPT experience 
similar to Googles Gemini Live on the new Pixel 9 smartphones. 

Originally reported by TestingCatalog , eight new voices were found in recent 
reverse engineering reports. The voices, called Fathom, Glimmer, Harp, Maple, 
Orbit, Rainbow, Reef, Ridge, and Vale, bring new abilities to express sounds 
more naturally, like dog barks. 

While these voices are linked to ChatGPTs text-to-speech, their impressive 
nature makes them the perfect fit to expand on Advanced Voice Modes options. 
As it stands these new voices aren't currently accessible but you can hear 
what they sound like thanks to Tibor Blaho on X. Preview of the new ChatGPT

OpenAI could be working on more than just ChatGPT voices, however, with a 
report suggesting the company may enter the hardware market. Taiwanese 
website United Daily News claims OpenAI has been in talks with TSMC, the chip 
manufacturer known for its work with Apple on the best iPhones .The source of 
the news has an unknown track record for chipset scoops, so this is still 
currently pure speculation. 

The rumor implies that OpenAI wants to produce its own custom AI chipset 
similar to Apples Neural Engines and other Neural Processing Units. The 
custom chip would be based on TSMCs A16 Angstrom process which Apple could 
use in the future potentially hinting at future collaborations between the 
companies. Apple will integrate ChatGPT on iPhones as part of the next 
generation of Siri, powered by Apple Intelligence . iPhone users will be able 
to send prompts to OpenAIs servers should they choose to do so. This allows 
the iPhone to not only benefit from Apple Intelligence on device but also 
from ChatGPTs incredible abilities. You might also like Would you eat a pizza
