OpenAI has begun deploying the new AI model GPT-4.5
By ForGeeks OpenAI has begun deploying GPT-4.5, its newest and largest AI model. It is currently available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, and the full launch will take 1-3 days
Features of GPT-4.5
1. Increased power and training
GPT-4.5 has been trained on more data and using more powerful computational resources than its predecessors.
2. Improved logic and emotional intelligence
OpenAI states that GPT-4.5:
- Better understanding of context,
- Has higher emotional intelligence,
- Generates false information less often
3. Competition and performance
Despite the increased parameters, GPT-4.5 does not always outperform the competition. In some tests it is inferior to the new Anthropic, DeepSeek, and even other OpenAI models.
High cost of running GPT-4.5
GPT-4.5 has proven to be very expensive to maintain, which calls into question its long-term use in APIs
Current OpenAI rates:
- $75 per 1 million tokens (input data)
- $150 for 1 million tokens (generated text)
This is 30 times more expensive to input and 15 times more expensive to output compared to GPT-4o, OpenAI’s primary working model.
GPT-4.5 and its rhetorical skills
OpenAI claims that the new model isgood at persuading other AI. For example, in one internal test, GPT-4.5 could convince another AI to give it money and reveal a secret code
Conclusion
GPT-4.5 is the company’s largest and most powerful AI, but its high cost and not always impressive performance make its future in APIs uncertain. For now, it is available to ChatGPT Plus users, but OpenAI is still evaluating its cost-effectiveness.
