What is GPT-4.5 and when will it be available?

GPT-4.5 is a theorized stop-gap next advance in OpenAI’s language models, following on from the highly successful GPT-4 model

[{"selector":"#anim-5860a061-35a8-4da8-a9b9-30420dd165f0","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-1db0b480-c1d1-4005-a8fa-c534163579ef","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6766b793-729a-4a9b-99c3-30da0efb48ff [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0.017856839567439983%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

GPT-4.5 would use more data and parameters than GPT-4, which has 1.8 trillion parameters and data from 2021.

[{"selector":"#anim-df933d0a-b9c7-44dd-83a1-627d2e5008de [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0.017856839567439983%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7bf122a3-9706-4cbe-84dc-7a50e3c9e178","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f942f4f7-e3c1-4dc9-b286-6bf372c2e27f","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

GPT-4.5 could be faster and run on smaller devices than GPT-4

[{"selector":"#anim-fbdb7247-c69d-4b43-adcd-887c0a8733f6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0.017856839567439983%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a21f9c98-f55f-4aec-b0c2-433ab00c77c8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-61ccb1a3-39e2-4555-8466-f2bd2f688d24","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

GPT-4.5 would have web search and plugins built-in, and maybe new abilities like video analysis and native functions.

[{"selector":"#anim-4836b4fd-b88d-4aab-9d8a-a336fe2faf8c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0.017856839567439983%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9c30e212-ad54-46cc-bb7b-ae5db254558d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-17ebaab3-f4a0-415d-92d9-d60abd1cec44","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

GPT-4.5 has no release date yet, but some think it could be ready by late 2023 or early 2024.

[{"selector":"#anim-f854618e-bfa0-4e53-b8ba-ec5549397700 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0.017856839567439983%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bcc7ee8d-9b3d-4497-9eec-8e9559109fd9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d5e9b40-8ce9-4542-bb53-9f4bff51cc27","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

OpenAI says that it is not working on GPT-5 and says it needs more safety and security checks.

[{"selector":"#anim-4123b129-02cb-482e-8adc-f9e629d23e19 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0.017856839567439983%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-87c88bf0-8536-4817-ad0e-38339f090e81","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c3e959a1-d54f-4856-aef4-7cd8909fd0b9","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

However, OpenAI has filed a trademark for the name GPT-5.

[{"selector":"#anim-a8879f54-ff63-4c88-8fd5-ba38aecc8f22 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0.017856839567439983%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-762dc14e-80bc-48f3-9bf0-515ffe6feced","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-498a963f-825a-4b08-a752-0cc3552ec46c","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

OpenAI has also launched a web-crawling bot that will harvest information from the internet for training future language models

[{"selector":"#anim-5a88e279-0d3e-429e-8a09-fbc4c1df0d12 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0.017856839567439983%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b03c124-c558-4b7a-8ad0-0844f46827f1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9143e9ba-a00f-4546-b901-cfd65b2d5634","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]
