🤖 OpenAI drops GPT-4.5—smarter than ever

OpenAI has officially released GPT-4.5, code-named Orion, marking its largest and most computationally intensive AI model to date. While not classified as a “frontier model,” GPT-4.5 promises improvements in knowledge depth, creativity, and emotional intelligence.

The Details:

• Exclusive Rollout: GPT-4.5 is now available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers ($200/month) and API developers, with broader access for ChatGPT Plus and Team users next week.

• Enhanced Capabilities: Outperforms previous models in factual accuracy, writing, and design, while reducing hallucinations. However, it lags behind reasoning models like DeepSeek R1 and Claude 3.7 Sonnet in complex tasks.

• Costly to Operate: OpenAI is charging $75 per million input tokens and $150 per million output tokens, significantly higher than GPT-4o, raising concerns over long-term API availability.

• Bridging the Gap: While GPT-4.5 showcases OpenAI’s latest advancements, the company sees it as a stepping stone toward GPT-5, which will unify GPT and reasoning models into a single, more powerful system.

Why it matters:

With AI scaling limits approaching, OpenAI’s shift toward reasoning models signals the next evolution of AI. GPT-4.5 may not dominate benchmarks, but it sets the stage for future breakthroughs, as OpenAI gears up for GPT-5 and beyond.
