OpenAI just launched GPT-4.5, its most powerful AI yet, offering better accuracy, emotional intelligence, and creative skills. However, it’s extremely expensive to run, and it still falls short of some competitors in reasoning tasks.
Key Takeaways
- GPT-4.5 is OpenAI’s largest AI model yet, built for smarter and more natural responses.
- It’s available for ChatGPT Pro users and premium API developers.
- While better at creative tasks and emotional understanding, it lags behind some reasoning models.
- Running GPT-4.5 is costly, raising questions about its long-term viability.
- OpenAI hints that GPT-5 will merge reasoning with GPT models for better results.
Why It’s Important
GPT-4.5 pushes AI forward with better understanding and fewer mistakes, but its high costs and mixed performance show the limits of scaling AI the old way. It’s a preview of what’s next—likely a smarter, more efficient GPT-5.
