2. **New Voices:** Five new voices have been added, named Arbor, Maple, Sol, Spruce, and Vale, bringing the total number of voices to nine.
3. **Custom Instructions and Memory:** Users can personalize how ChatGPT responds to them using Custom Instructions and Memory, allowing the AI to remember conversations and reference them later.
4. **Enhanced Accents and Conversational Smoothness:** Improvements have been made in accent recognition and conversational smoothness, particularly in select foreign languages.
5. **New Design:** AVM features a refreshed design with an animated blue sphere, replacing the animated black dots previously used.
