OpenAI has introduced GPT-4.5, its latest large language model, marking another milestone in AI development
While not a full reasoning model like the O-series, GPT-4.5 boasts enhanced capabilities that make interactions feel more fluid and intuitive.
According to OpenAI's research notes, GPT-4.5 has a broader knowledge base, improved alignment with user intent, and enhanced emotional intelligence.
It aims to refine AI's ability to assist in writing, programming, and problem-solving while minimising errors — often referred to as "hallucinations".
Though not primarily designed for reasoning, GPT-4.5 can still handle logical problems effectively, bridging the gap between traditional AI models and OpenAI's more advanced O-series, which prioritises real-time computational reasoning
This release follows GPT-4o, which launched last May, and the o1, o3-mini, and o3-mini-high models introduced over the past year.
Beyond its technical advancements, GPT-4.5 arrives at a crucial moment.
OpenAI's move towards reasoning-based AI signals a shift in strategy, but it also raises questions about its business model
With competition heating up from xAI’s Grok 3, DeepSeek R1, and Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet, OpenAI is looking to balance innovation with user retention — especially as rival models close the performance gap.
Ultimately, GPT-4.5 is a preview of what's to come, offering insights into OpenAI's roadmap.
