    New update to improve the quality of AI-generated content 

    By correcting previous shortcomings in rendering text and fine details, the update seeks to improve the quality of AI-generated content.

    ChatGPT has long been able to create images, especially with its DALL·E integration.

    OpenAI’s most recent release, however, enhances this capability by more smoothly integrating it into ChatGPT, which probably makes it faster and more interactive or improves features like inpainting.

    “At OpenAI, we have long believed image generation should be a primary capability of our language models. That’s why we’ve built our most advanced image generator yet into GPT‑4o. The result—image generation that is not only beautiful but also useful,” the blog post stated.

    GPT-4.5: Scaling new heights with OpenAI’s latest AI

    GPT-4.5, internally codenamed “Orion,” marks a significant evolution in OpenAI’s ChatGPT family, emphasising scaled pre-training and post-training for unmatched performance. This OpenAI model excels in pattern recognition, creative insights, and natural dialogue, though it lacks the advanced reasoning of the “o-series” like o1 or o3. X posts from OpenAI highlight GPT-4.5’s “more natural” feel, broader knowledge, improved intent alignment, and elevated emotional intelligence (EQ). Ideal for refining writing, coding, and practical problem-solving, GPT-4.5 positions itself as a versatile powerhouse in the ChatGPT ecosystem, appealing to both casual users and professionals seeking OpenAI’s cutting-edge AI.

    ChatGPT features and rollout: What GPT-4.5 brings to users

    The GPT-4.5 research preview from OpenAI introduces practical ChatGPT features: real-time search, file and image uploads, and a “canvas” mode for collaborative writing and coding. However, it stops short of full multimodality—no Voice Mode, video, or screensharing, which remain tied to models like GPT-4o. 

    Launched on February 27, 2025, GPT-4.5 access began with ChatGPT Pro users ($200/month), with Plus and Team subscribers ($20/month) slated for next week, followed by Enterprise and Edu tiers. Microsoft also released GPT-4.5 in preview via Azure AI Foundry, showcasing OpenAI’s strategic alliance. This staggered rollout ensures that ChatGPT fans experience GPT-4.5’s enhancements progressively.

    OpenAI’s GPT-4.5: A compute-intensive ChatGPT giant

    OpenAI has been upfront about GPT-4.5’s scale—it’s a “giant, expensive model,” per CEO Sam Altman’s X post. This ChatGPT iteration, trained on immense computational resources, dwarfs its predecessors, reflected in its API pricing: $75 per million input tokens and $150 per million output tokens, far above GPT-4o’s $2.50 and $10. 

    Altman noted a lower hallucination rate than GPT-4o—though slightly higher than o1—thanks to its compute heft, but it’s no lightweight replacement. OpenAI explained that the phased rollout stems from a GPU shortage: “We’re out of GPUs but will add tens of thousands next week for the Plus tier,” Altman shared, underlining GPT-4.5’s resource demands.

    GPT-4.5 is not a frontier model: OpenAI sets ChatGPT expectations

    Despite its scale, OpenAI clarifies that GPT-4.5 isn’t a “frontier model.” An initial white paper (later revised) noted it lacks “net-new frontier capabilities” and trails reasoning-focused models like o1, o3-mini, and Deep Research on benchmarks, excelling instead in language tasks over math or science. 

    Altman described GPT-4.5 on X as “the first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person” but warned it “won’t crush benchmarks.” This positions GPT-4.5 as a ChatGPT bridge—the final OpenAI model without chain-of-thought reasoning—before the next big leap, balancing expectations for its audience.

    OpenAI’s road to GPT-5: ChatGPT and GPT-4.5 as stepping stones

    The GPT-4.5 launch is a prelude to OpenAI’s grander vision. Earlier this month, Altman outlined a roadmap, pegging GPT-4.5 as the last non-reasoning ChatGPT model, with GPT-5—due in “months,” possibly late May—set to merge o3 reasoning and other tech into a “unified intelligence” system. This shift aims to streamline OpenAI’s model chaos (GPT-4o, o1, o3-mini) into tiered ChatGPT offerings, ditching the “hated model picker.” Facing rivals like xAI’s Grok 3, Anthropic’s Claude, and DeepSeek’s lean AI, GPT-4.5 keeps OpenAI competitive while priming ChatGPT users for GPT-5’s transformative potential.
