-## GPT-4 Turbo
+## GPT-4o and GPT-4 Turbo
+
+GPT-4o is the latest preview model from OpenAI. GPT-4o integrates text and images in a single model, enabling it to handle multiple data types simultaneously. This multimodal approach enhances accuracy and responsiveness in human-computer interactions. GPT-4o matches GPT-4 Turbo in English text and coding tasks while offering superior performance in non-English languages and vision tasks, setting new benchmarks for AI capabilities.
+
+### Early access playground
+
+Existing Azure OpenAI customers can test out GPT-4o in the **NEW** Azure OpenAI Studio Early Access Playground (Preview).  
+
+To test the latest model:
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The GPT-4o early access playground is currently only available for resources in **West US3** and **East US**, and is limited to 10 requests every five minutes. Azure OpenAI service abuse monitoring is enabled for all early access playground users even if approved for modification; default content filters are enabled and cannot be modified. GPT-4o is a preview model and is currently not available for deployment/direct API access.
+
+1. Navigate to Azure OpenAI Studio at https://oai.azure.com/ and sign-in with credentials that have access to your OpenAI resources.
+2. Select an Azure OpenAI resource in the **West US3** or **East US** regions. If you don't have a resource in one of these regions you will need to [create a resource](../how-to/create-resource.md).
+3. From the main [Azure OpenAI Studio](https://oai.azure.com/) page select the **Early Access Playground (Preview)** button from under the **Get started** section. (This button will only be available when a resource in **West US3** or **East US** is selected.)
+4. Now you can start asking the model questions just as you would before in the existing [chat playground](../chatgpt-quickstart.md).
+
+### GPT-4 Turbo
 
 GPT-4 Turbo is a large multimodal model (accepting text or image inputs and generating text) that can solve difficult problems with greater accuracy than any of OpenAI's previous models. Like GPT-3.5 Turbo, and older GPT-4 models GPT-4 Turbo is optimized for chat and works well for traditional completions tasks.
