Microsoft Germany CTO Andreas Braun disclosed to German press that OpenAI will unveil GPT-4 at Microsoft's "The Future of Work with AI" event on March 16, 2023, describing it as multimodal with video, image, and multilingual support. The leak occurred despite (or perhaps because of) Microsoft's substantial ownership stake following a reported $10 billion investment giving it effective control of OpenAI. Braun's statement provides early public signal of architectural direction in frontier models, confirming multimodal input and output capabilities; the timing suggests vendors are coordinating feature readiness announcements with enterprise deployments in mind.
