OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 ‘won’t crush benchmarks’ but might be a better friend
OpenAI has released a preview version of GPT-4.5, which it claims has a higher EQ and is more creative than previous versions. However, some observers claim the new model is overpriced.
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI’s upcoming model could be as much as 20 times more costly than its predecessor but will be far more creative and “natural” in its conversational style, according to OpenAI and early testers.
OpenAI released a research preview of GPT-4.5 on Feb. 27, its most advanced AI model, which can recognize patterns, draw connections, and make creative insights without reasoning in a superior way to earlier versions, the company said.
OpenAI said GPT-4.5’s broader knowledge base and improved “EQ” (emotional intelligence) make it more useful for creative tasks and solving practical problems, OpenAI said in a Feb. 27 statement.
